Renishaw joins US Additive Manufacturing coalition
July 4, 2024
Renishaw, headquartered in Wotton-Under-Edge, Gloucestershire, UK, has joined the US-based Additive Manufacturing Coalition in an effort to educate key decision-makers, stakeholders and the public about the importance of Additive Manufacturing. As a member, Renishaw will help engage and educate manufacturing and research policy leaders across the federal government to emphasise the benefits of AM to national security, manufacturing, and more.
The AM Coalition’s primary goal is to advance public policy choices that encourage the use of Additive Manufacturing technology to meet national economic, security, and other sector needs in the US. To achieve this, the Coalition helps educate policymakers in US Congress and the administration.
Members of the AM Coalition help to shape the topics, focus, and format of the organisation’s public forums. As a member, Renishaw will receive invitations to quarterly, member-only policy roundtables with key decision-makers, including members of Congress, key House and Senate staff, the White House, the Department of Defense, and other agency officials. In addition, Renishaw will participate in advocacy efforts to support laws, regulations, and policies that support the AM community.
“The AM Coalition is in an exciting period of growth,” said Lisa Arafune, Director of Outreach at AM Coalition. “To address the education gap about the importance and maturity of AM technology, we’ve hosted forums and roundtables, spoken in person at key meetings and conferences, and held our inaugural DC Legislative Fly-In. With the continued support of our members, like Renishaw, we can help further advance the adoption of AM to solve key challenges.”
“As the use of AM expands further and into new markets, the AM Coalition helps stand as a voice in support of all that AM has to offer,” addrd John Laureto, AM Business Manager Americas, at Renishaw. “As a member, we will help drive AM use to improve economic prosperity and national security.”
