I see on Jan 22 theres the winter AMC meeting.

AMC is a AM consortium set up consisting of 20 something government, industry and academia to address needs and advanced standards for Additive Manufacturing. From these advancement the resulting commercialization is forwarded onwards to AMC's customer and industry partners including heavy industry oil, fabrication, medical heavyweights. (Think of it as formulating standards in AM so players that need the technology can implement it into their industries knowing Americas biggest players in the industry have come up with the best product).

AMC 20 odd members include
Air Force, Army, Nasa
Universitys of Texas, Louisville, Ohio
GE, Boeing, Lockheed, Rolls Royce, Northrop Grumman and B6Sigma (Sigma Labs)


B6Sigmas place in this elite group, who are basically creating the standards for INDUSTRY WIDE implementation by the heavy hitters in global manufacturing is just ENORMOUS. Why are they there? They are there because they are the best, and have the best product in the quality control sphere of AM. When it comes to quantifying the behaviour of metals in AM Sigma are THE go-to guys.

And just to add, AMC does have a commercialization goal for this research. (the roadmap from its inception in 2009 was to see commercialization in 2-5 years) Its mission is to 'advance the manufacturing readiness of metal AM technologies to benefit the consortium and their customer base (basically an enormous chunk of America's (and global) manufacturers). They also talk about looking for potential applications for the Oil and Gas market as well as biomedical fields.
