We’re beginning with a bit enterprise information in immediately’s 3D Printing Information Briefs, because the Manufacturing Expertise Deployment Group (MTDG) is now a Principal Member of AMGTA. Then it’s on to schooling with the announcement of two AMUG scholarships. Then we’ll finish with composite supplies and a post-processing system.
MTDG is a Principal Member of AMGTA, CEO Joins Board of Administrators
Dean Bartles,
The Additive Producer Inexperienced Commerce Affiliation (AMGTA) lately introduced its latest Principal Member. The Manufacturing Expertise Deployment Group (MTDG) has moved up from a Collaborating Member, and as a part of its better function, CEO Dean Bartles, PhD, has joined the AMGTA Board of Administrators. AMGTA is the one impartial, international group working to deliver collectively manufacturing ecosystem firms to advance conversations round sustainable, resilient AM practices. Principal Membership is the affiliation’s highest stage of engagement, meant for organizations that present a dedication to bettering these practices, and reveal strategic alignment and sustained management. As a brand new Principal Member of AMGTA, MTDG will play a bigger function in shaping the path, governance, and business collaboration initiatives of the affiliation. Its CEO Bartles has many years of management expertise in workforce improvement, industrial transformation, and superior manufacturing, and will probably be an asset to the Board of Administrators.
“Additive manufacturing is a transformative functionality inside superior manufacturing. I’m honored to affix the AMGTA Board and assist its work in advancing sustainable, economically viable manufacturing practices,” mentioned Bartles. “The business has a chance – and duty – to make sure that additive applied sciences contribute meaningfully to long-term resilience and competitiveness.”
AMUG Declares Scholarship Recipients Forward of Convention

Simply forward of its 2026 convention, the Additive Manufacturing Customers Group (AMUG) introduced the 2 recipients of this yr’s scholarship awards, which acknowledge educators and college students who present ardour and imaginative and prescient for AM whereas working to advance schooling and business. The winner of the Randy Stevens Scholarship for educators in additive manufacturing is Li Yang, PhD, an affiliate professor within the Division of Industrial and Methods Engineering on the College of Louisville. Dr. Yang’s present focus is the design and realization of 3D printed light-weight buildings. Abby Stamper, at the moment pursuing a mechanical engineering diploma at Boise State College, was awarded the Man E. Bourdeau Scholarship for college students in AM. Drawn to functions by which digital fabrication impacts human motion, she is specializing in orthotics and prosthetics. Dr. Yang and Stamper will probably be acknowledged at AMUG in Reno later this month, and current their work onstage.
“We had been thrilled with the standard and variety of this yr’s candidates,” AMUG Scholarship Committee co-chairs Brent Griffith and Dr. Olga Ivanova mentioned in a joint assertion. “The submissions demonstrated excellent expertise, creativity, and potential within the subsequent technology of additive manufacturing leaders.”
Net Industries to Spotlight Superior Composite Manufacturing Supplies at JEC World
A pacesetter in outsourced manufacturing and composite materials formatting, Massachusetts-based Net Industries will probably be attending JEC World 2026 in Paris subsequent week to showcase its newest materials developments. This annual present is the main worldwide composites occasion, and Net Industries will probably be highlighting its composite formatting at Sales space G27 in Corridor 5. The corporate helps the vitality, industrial aerospace, protection, UAV/UAM, and area sectors, serving to its clients enhance repeatability, lower improvement cycles, and deploy automation at scale. At JEC World, Net Industries will introduce new options that assist improve course of stability and drive industrial ramp-up of composite supplies formatting for manufacturing. By correctly formatting composite supplies early on, producers can extra reliably and effectively scale automation, in addition to cut back waste and enhance course of stability.
“Enhancing how we format composite supplies has change into mission-critical. By tailoring supplies for automated manufacturing, producers acquire extra constant efficiency, increased throughput, and higher use of each meter of fabric,” mentioned John Madej, President and CEO of Net Industries. “At JEC World, we’ll reveal how our capabilities assist main applications industrialize with confidence.”
AM Options Unveils Value-Efficient M4 Fundamental Submit-Processing System
The M4 Fundamental, a brand new compact system that brings post-processing inside attain of just about any additive manufacturing person.
Not too long ago, AM Options – 3D publish processing expertise launched a brand new compact, cost-effective system for post-processing. An entry-level resolution, the M4 Fundamental is supposed for firms that need to transfer past handbook grinding, however aren’t fairly prepared for a big, high-throughput cell. The vibratory ending system could also be small, however it’s mighty. The M4 Fundamental combines a 20-liter rotary vibrator with an built-in 25-liter course of water tank—a closed-loop method that lowers working prices, decreases downtime, and extends process-water life. It was developed for metallic and polymer components made with additive processes like SLM, SLA, MJF, and SLS, and gives a wide range of ending choices, together with smoothing, grinding, sharpening, and deburring. Mounted on lockable transport rollers, the system is simple to maneuver and add to current manufacturing enviroments, and might deal with workpieces as much as 70 x 70 x 25 mm.
“At AM Options we see a transparent shift: even smaller AM customers are below stress to ship constant, production-grade surfaces. With the M4 Fundamental we’re giving them a practical, inexpensive approach to change improvised handbook steps with a managed, repeatable course of. It’s a gateway into true industrial post-processing,” mentioned Colin Spellacy, Head of UK Gross sales at AM Options.
“High quality, repeatability and effectivity in post-processing are now not non-obligatory. With the M4 Fundamental, we’re making that customary accessible to everybody within the AM worth chain.”
