ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence unveiled its first annual report today (available here), announcing more than $7 million in total in-kind, government, and other support since its July 2018 launch. ASTM International, which has its global headquarters near Philadelphia, also announced that it would make four new hires to support its growing leadership in additive manufacturing standardization and related areas.
Roughly $5 million in funding came through government-affiliated organizations and agencies such as America Makes (US), the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (Singapore), and Innovate UK. About $2 million of mostly in-kind support came from Center of Excellence partners Auburn University, NASA, EWI, the UK-based Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), NAMIC, the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR), and ASTM International.
