Overview
Mission
Educate and advocate to Congress and the federal agencies on behalf of the Additive Manufacturing Community. We are a trade association designed to increase the knowledge base of Congress and the Federal Agencies regarding additive manufacturing in order to improve the quality of public policy related to additive manufacturing.
What it reported doing in 2025
Advocated to Congress and the federal agencies for increased funding for research, certification, validation and workforce development in support of additive manufacturing, as well as, for increased utilization of additive manufacturing products by reforming the federal procurement system to make it easier for small and medium sized companies to work directly for the Federal agencies. This includes direct engagement with the Congress and organizing an annual DC Legislative Fly In event to bring AM Coalition members to Washington to meet with Administration and Congressional policy makers.
