是联盟calls for improvements to US Congress COMPETES bill for electronics 3D printing

Additive Manufacturing Coalition(AM联盟)已发送咨询信致美国国会最近批准的COMPETES比尔(Bill)于2月4日通过参议院。

“创造制造,杰出和经济实力的机会”(竞争)法案涵盖了各种各样的监管领域,包括提及半导体生产,支撑供应链,以及与增添制造业相关的教育和劳动力计划雷电竞充值。

In response to the bill’s passing, the AM Coalition has sent a letter to the bill’s sponsor, Democratic Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, and the ranking Republican member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Congressman Frank Lucas, which asks for further support for improvements to two critical areas: workforce development for additive manufacturing and investment in micro and nanoscale 3D printing of electronics.

3D印刷电子产品的进步

虽然还在commercializati的早期阶段on, the 3D printed electronics field is attracting a growing amount of both R&D and investor interest. Recent innovators in the sector includeNextFlex,,,,a consortium dedicated to推进我们灵活的混合电子产品which has just向项目颁发了1700万美元专注于柔性电子设备的研发,例如3D印刷射频(RF)和高音飞行相关零件。

别处,ETH Zurich旋转Scrona AG已经筹集了960万美元高分辨率电子3D打印方法, 尽管纳米尺寸和传感器专家Hensoldt共同创立了600万美元J.A.M.E.S企业是一个设计师社区,致力于推进添加性生产的电子产品(AMES)。

最近也取得了进步robotic electronics 3D printing technology,,,,irregularly shaped electronics,,,,and3D打印电子设备零重力状况。

支持电子设备

On the 1st of April, the AM Coalition sent an advisory letter to Congresswoman Johnson and Congressman Lucas asking for their support for improvements to the bill, particularly in terms of micro and nanoscale electronics 3D printing.

这封信突出了严重的半导体短缺这是在Covid-19大流行开始时发生的,并要求国会“不仅为传统制造技术提供资金,而且还为当今可以打印电路和芯片的美国公司提供资金。”具体而言,AM联盟已要求国会在竞争性制造技术的竞争法案中,为国内生产半导体的国内生产提供至少5%的资金,包括3D打印。

这封信敦促:“当我们支持这些法案中半导体行业的投资时,我们会警告不要将所有“鸡蛋”放入一篮子的传统制造业中。一点点投资来帮助扩展这些3D打印技术,可以促进美国整个新行业的增长。”

这封信还指出,其他国家将投资于诸如电子产品生产的3D打印等技术,如果美国未能效仿,它可能会落后于实施该技术。

改善AM的劳动力发展

In its letter, the AM Coalition has also asked for Congress’ support for further workforce development to enable the wider application of additive manufacturing across all sectors of the US economy. The letter points out that the US is currently “considerably behind” the workforce development efforts of Asia and Europe in this regard, and urges it is “critical” to enable educational organizations to invest in such programs.

AM联盟呼吁为大学,社区学院和非营利培训组织提供更多资金,以使他们能够收购工业规模的3D打印机和后处理系统,并在全国范围内开展更多与3D印刷有关的计划。雷电竞app下载

信中说:“尽管我们认识到高级制造业比添加剂更广泛,但我们认为至关重要的是,任何类型的培训组织都能建立这些程序而不会超出设备成本。”AM联盟通过结论签署了这封信:

“It is our hope that with these additional provisions, the final bill will not only promote the expansion of science and technology and STEM programs, but will reinvent the American economy by fostering the growth of these critical fields.”
