The ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) serves as a global nexus for additive manufacturing, bringing together the most respected experts, institutions, and industry leaders to accelerate the responsible adoption of AM across the manufacturing ecosystem.
The AM CoE offers a uniquely integrated platform that spans the full additive manufacturing ecosystem, from pre-standardization research, data generation, and market intelligence, to the development and standardization of materials, methods and best practices, and into post-standardization activities such as workforce, certification, and strategic advisory services. This end-to-end approach empowers organizations to seamlessly bridge AM with traditional manufacturing workflows, enabling more agile, distributed, and resilient production.
The CoE’s authority is reinforced by the caliber of its collaborators. The Wohlers Report, the industry's most trusted annual market review, is built on insight from over 230 contributors from some of the most esteemed organizations worldwide.
The CoE's flagship event, ICAM, convenes nearly 1,000 presentations from leading voices in AM science, engineering, and policy, making it the premier global forum where the future of advanced manufacturing is decided. And at the heart of the CoE is a cohort of over 40 globally recognized experts who are not only advancing AM qualification and integration but also actively shaping industry standards, accelerating growth, and driving strategic collaborations across government, academic, and industry. ICAM goes beyond traditional conferences, positioning participants to amplify their influence, drive thought leadership, and build relationships that directly impact the evolution of manufacturing.
The AM CoE’s offerings include:
· Research-to-Standards initiatives that accelerate the creation of globally relevant specifications, bridging emerging technologies with formalized industry practices.
· Role-based training and eLearning, covering topics such as Design for AM (DfAM), quality assurance, and AM safety, empowering the current and next-generation workforce.
· Certification programs for facilities, quality systems, safety protocols, and personnel to mitigate risk, ensure compliance, and accelerate supplier readiness and qualifications.
· Strategic advisory services delivered through Wohlers Associates, supporting market entry, due diligence, and long-term innovation and business planning with deep industry insights.
Whether you’re exploring AM for the first time or scaling production in a regulated environment, the AM CoE provides the infrastructure, intelligence, and international perspective to support your success.
Making AM Better, Faster.
