3D Manufacturing Format (3MF)

3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is an open-source format for 3D printing that allows design applications to send full-fidelity 3D models to a mix of other applications, platforms, services, and printers.

3MF is on a mission to solve data interoperability challenges that the 3D printing industry faces today with a comprehensive file specification format that moves beyond solely communicating file geometry and includes material, color, and printer specifications. Our session aims to inform manufacturing professionals of our open-source specification that's becoming widely available within leading industry platforms and is allowing companies to focus more on innovation and less on having to fix problems associated with other 3D file formats.

Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Association (AMGTA)

The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA), founded in 2019, is a global trade association of AM-stakeholding organizations throughout the manufacturing ecosystem with a focus on identifying and promoting the environmental benefits of additive design and manufacture.

Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG)

The Additive Manufacturing Users Group’s origins date back to the early 1990s when the founding industry users group was called 3D Systems North American Stereolithography Users Group, a users group solely focused on the advancement of stereolithography (SL) use with the owners and operators of 3D Systems’ equipment. Today, AMUG educates and supports users of all additive manufacturing technologies. The primary charter of the group remains the same, but its members are much more diversified, global and focused in advancing additive manufacturing technology for rapid manufacturing and prototyping.

Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI)

The Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI), headquartered in Manchester, NH, is an organization funded by the United States Department of Defense. ARMI's mission is to make practical the scalable manufacturing of engineered tissues and tissue-related technologies, to benefit existing industries and grow new ones. ARMI brings together a consortium of over 175 partners from across industry, government, academia, and the non-profit sector to develop next-generation manufacturing processes and technologies for cells, tissues, and organs.

America Makes

America Makes members from industry, academia, government, workforce and economic development organizations, work together to accelerate the adoption of AM and the nation’s global manufacturing competitiveness.
