For those that aren't familiar with the Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC) put together by the Edison Welding Institute (EWI) and what a big deal it is that we're hosting the upcoming meeting.

Below are the members listed on the AMC website, but it's dated 2013 (I've emailed two people at EWI to get a current list of members)

Full Members
Lockheed Martin Company
Rolls-Royce
IHI
United Technologies Aerospace Systems
GE Aviation

Non-Profit Members
EWI
NCDMM/AmericaMakes

Small Business and Supplier Members
Carpenter Powder Products
EOS

Research Partners
N.C. State University
Univ. Texas El Paso
University of Louisville
University of Toledo
NIST
LLNL
NASA

I like how we're one of the few (total of 70 participants attended) mentioned by name:

A Successful AMC Winter Meeting held at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
By Rebecca Gurk on Tuesday, February 24th, 2015

The Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC) held its 2015 Winter Meeting February 3-4, at the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Knoxville, TN. The event was jointly hosted by ORNL and University of Tennessee – Knoxville. More than 70 consortium members attended.

The 2-day event featured a special workshop, “Understanding Modeling and Simulation of Additive Manufacturing Processes,” organized by Dr. Deepankar Pal, Chief Scientist at 3DSIM, as well as technical presentations by ORNL, the Department of Defense, NIST, EWI, UTEP, and B6 Sigma.

“B Piercy NTRC-MDFOak Ridge was our best-attended meeting ever,” said Shawn Kelly, Director of the AMC. “We had more than 70 participants from industry, government, and research institutions, and the information shared was outstanding.” Meeting co-organizer Suresh Babu of UT-Knoxville agreed. “The level of the presentations was very high,” he said. “AMC’s quarterly meetings offer unprecedented opportunities for conversation and collaboration, and this program was no exception.” Dr. Bill Peter from ORNL added, “We were pleased to host such a large group interested in advancing the science of additive manufacturing and deployment of the technologies at our Manufacturing Demonstration Facility.”

The AMC, established in 2010 by technology innovator EWI, is a national consortium of industry, government, academic and non-profit research organizations with the mission of accelerating and advancing the manufacturing readiness of metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Members include Lockheed Martin, Sigma Labs, Inc., GE, Praxair, Inc., Rolls Royce, Inc., Lawrence Livermore Labs, University of Louisville, and NASA. The consortium is operated EWI, based in Columbus, Ohio.

The AMC will hold its Spring Meeting April 29-30 at North Carolina State University, in conjunction with the ASPE 2015 Spring Topical Meeting: Achieving Precision Tolerances in Additive Manufacturing.
