AMUG Mission

The Additive Manufacturing Users Group redefined its mission to encompass its broadened scope and newly defined goals.

AMUG educates and advances the uses and applications of additive manufacturing technologies.

AMUG meets annually to provide a forum for presentation of papers relating to the dissemination of processes and new technologies related to the operation of additive manufacturing equipment and the secondary or final application of parts or/and tools made from these systems.

The objectives of the AMUG include the following:

• Encourage effective communication of information exchange amongst all additive manufacturing equipment owners and operators.
• Provide a forum for presentations of papers and the ability to network with colleagues.
• Propose solutions to problems that involve basic modification to hardware or software.
• Provide an open atmosphere for technology exchange.

Activities of the AMUG include the following:

• Hold annual and periodic meetings for the purpose of conducting business of the AMUG.
• Establish special task or interest groups to study specific mutual areas of interest.
• Identify problems and propose solutions or improvements and recommend uniform practices and techniques to be used by the membership.
