America Makes

America Makes is the nation’s leading public-private partnership for additive manufacturing (AM) technology and education. Its 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. America Makes, based in Youngstown, OH, is managed by the not-for-profit NCDMM (National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining).

As an SME strategic partner, America Makes is proud to be exhibiting at RAPID + TCT once again and being able to offer:

The New Member Row in our corporate pavilion (Booth 3741)! This new opportunity allows you to meet our member companies that are exhibiting in Booths 3741-1 to 3741-12. To learn more about each company, please search under their company name in the exhibitor section of the floor plan.

Our Spring Technical Review & Exchange (TRX) is also being held at RAPID + TCT 2025 in Meeting Room 420 A/B. These daily sessions (beginning April 8) start at 7:00 AM and end at 12:00 PM. As our guest, you can enjoy breakfast and networking opportunities every morning followed by lunch from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM.

We’re also excited to present our industry partner presentation in the SME Theater Wednesday, April 9, from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM on the “Impact of New Administration Policies on Additive Manufacturing in the US and Globally.” Our Ecosystem Director Kimberly Gibson will lead a panel of 4 AM journalists to discuss the impacts of the new U.S. administration’s policy direction on the AM industry.

Finally, as a proud sponsor of the AM Celebration, we invite you to join us Wednesday at RAPID + TCT's AM Celebration for food, fun and beverages; the celebration begins at 5:00 PM. We hope to see you there!

And, as a bonus, America Makes’ members/TRX attendees have full access to all the show floors — RAPID + TCT, AeroDef Manufacturing and SAE WCX — so enjoy all these unique opportunities!
