America Makes is the nation’s leading public-private partnership for additive manufacturing (AM) technology and education. Our members from industry, academia, government, and workforce and economic development organizations work together to accelerate the adoption of AM and the nation’s global manufacturing competitiveness.

Founded in 2012 as the Department of Defense’s National Manufacturing Innovation Institute for Additive Manufacturing and the first of the Manufacturing USA network, America Makes is based in Youngstown, Ohio, and managed by the not-for-profit National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM).

Our efforts to accelerate the adoption of AM include:
1) Fostering a highly collaborative infrastructure for the open exchange of AM information and research. 2) Facilitating the development, evaluation, and deployment of efficient and flexible additive manufacturing technologies. 3) Engaging with academic institutions and companies to supply education and training in AM technologies to create an adaptive, leading workforce. 4) Serving as a national institute with regional impact on AM capabilities. 5) Linking and integrating U.S. companies with existing public, private or not-for-profit industrial and economic development resources, and business incubators, with an emphasis on assisting small- and medium-sized enterprises and early-stage companies (start-ups).
