Focused Interest Groups

We continue to drive understanding and adoption of additive technologies and practices around the globe. Mandates for operational and resource efficiencies and the drive to address climate risks require collaboration throughout the supply chain. AMGTA is bringing businesses and individuals together around common Focused Interest Areas to facilitate impact.

Focused Interest Groups provide an opportunity to discuss and address topics of common interest with others within our global network. Some topics are more highly technical around materials or processes while others are related to business strategy.

🍃 As with all things AMGTA, sustainability, resource efficiency, and reducing waste and environmental impacts are common threads throughout whether as a primary objective or a result of better practices.

Join each discussion group as you choose and share with colleagues who may be interested in participating. For any questions please contact info@amgta.org.
