Structured as a public-private partnership with member organizations from industry, academia, government, non-government agencies, and workforce and economic development resources, America Makes works to innovate and accelerate AM and 3DP to increase our nation’s global manufacturing competitiveness. America Makes is part of Manufacturing USA, a federal government initiative of 14 manufacturing institutes that each have distinct technology focus but all work toward a common goal: to secure the future of manufacturing in the United States through innovation, education, and collaboration.
Growing a workforce capable of designing, specifying, making, and supporting 3D printed products is as essential as advancing manufacturing technologies.
