AMGTA | SINCE 2019
The Global Trade Association for Additive Manufacturing
Independent. Credible. Focused.
AMGTA brings technology developers, manufacturing users, and the institutions that shape manufacturing into the same room—to build the shared understanding of what additive manufacturing makes possible and how that capability translates into real manufacturing decisions.
Why This Work Matters
Three dimensions where additive manufacturing changes manufacturing.
Resource Efficiency
Material discipline. Energy intensity. Lifecycle impact.
How additive manufacturing changes the quantity, type, and use of resources that go into making things — at the part, the system, and the enterprise level.
Resilience
Supply chain. Production location. Operational risk.
How additive manufacturing reshapes where things are made, how supply chains are configured, and what kinds of disruption manufacturers can absorb.
Performance
Measurable outcomes. Credible claims. Evaluable evidence.
How additive manufacturing’s effects are measured, communicated, and incorporated into procurement, investment, and regulatory decisions.
NEW · APRIL 2026 · FEATURED REPORT
The independent argument for how additive manufacturing should be evaluated
AMGTA’s first major independent report on the part, system, and enterprise impacts of additive manufacturing. Free to download—for technology developers, manufacturing users, procurement leaders, investors, and policymakers.
WHAT WE DO
Building the argument. Translating it into practice. Carrying it into the rooms where decisions are made.
Establish shared framing
Translate framing into practice
Carry it into the ecosystem

The report is public. The argument belongs to the whole ecosystem. But the next report, the sector-specific guidance, the reviewed use case library, and the framework the industry will use to evaluate additive manufacturing—that’s built by members, in working groups, right now. If you want to be part of building the argument, not just using it:
