Sintavia, LLC, has announced at this year’s Formnext that it is co-founding a trade group for additive manufacturers focused on promoting the environmental benefits of AM over traditional methods of manufacturing. The new group, to be called the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association, or AMGTA, will be a non-commercial, unaffiliated organisation open to any additive manufacturer that meets certain criteria relating to sustainability of production.

“Very often in Additive Manufacturing we focus on the cost and time benefits of the technology, and do not equally consider the very real environmental benefits of AM over traditional manufacturing,” stated Brian Neff, Sintavia’s Chief Executive Officer. “These benefits include improved end use design utility and improved industrial ecology of the fabrication process itself.”

“The AMGTA’s purpose will be to raise awareness of these benefits within end market segments, in order to accelerate the adoption rate of the technology. We look forward to working with our industry co-founders over the coming months to build the foundation of the AMGTA and really hit the ground running in 2020,” continued Neff.

It is expected that the organization will begin operations in full by the second quarter of 2020.
