塞西莫, the European Association of the Machine Tool Industries, has published an Activities Report summarizing the many events, projects and advocacy initiatives taken in the past year to promote the interests additive manufacturing across the continent.
该报告包括针对欧盟生态设计规则的反对法，以增加对AM系统的不当限制；推动在欧盟机械立法中包括添加剂制造；雷电竞充值以及与AITIIP，FIT，TWI和VERO软件合作的正在进行的研发项目（例如大规模Kraken项目）等正在进行的研发项目的进度报告。
此外，英国的工程公司和添加剂专家雷尼沙（Renishaw）也宣布renewed contribution to CECIMOin light ofthe UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
Getting 3D printing represented in the wider manufacturing industry
塞西莫published itsEuropean Additive Manufacturing Strategyin June 2017. Based on the driving principles outlined in the document, the association reports a number of successful advocacy initiatives accomplished in the last year.
采取每项倡议是为了确保增材制造能够在欧洲法规中获得准确的代表，从而避免了对技术进步雷电竞充值的任何立法挫折。
首先，Cecimo成功推翻了欧盟委员会概述的增材制造系统的提议的机床设计要求。雷电竞充值报告说：“在本法规草案范围内包含AM机器将增加机器制造商的负担。”
“Moreover, these draft rules would have asked for additional information on energy consumption that ignores the customized nature of AM machines and machine tools in general, which are tailored to the specific client needs.”
In second instance, CECIMO succeeded in laying the foundations for establishing harmonized health and safety (H&S) requirements for AM machines.
在第三项也是最后一项倡导计划中，塞西莫（Cecimo）确认，它正在与适当的委员会部门合作，以改善工业3D打印机的分类。雷电竞app下载报告说：“目前，HS并未区分与金属一起工作的AM机器和使用其他材料（例如陶瓷或塑料）的机器。”
“This inclusive section makes it impossible to accurately trace the trade transactions of metal AM machines, resulting in imprecise statistics, which are crucial to better grasp the growth potential of additive technologies.”
项目更新
In KRAKEN, CECIMO is helping automotive partners build a multimaterial hybrid additive manufacturing machine that can make parts up to 20 meters in length.
该协会还将发布IT AM-MOTION项目的结果“确定欧洲工业化的障碍”和“标准化绘制差距”。与Motalizize，Airbus，Siemens合作进行
TNO, Prodintec, CEA and TWI, the AM-Motion report will also identify areas ofskills shortage帮助提供适当的高技能和培训。
雷尼沙’s support in light of Brexit
Stewart Lane, General Manager of Renishaw’s UK Sales Division was appointed to the board of CECIMO and fellow CECIMO member the制造技术协会(MTA) in 2016.
Renewing its backing of the association, the company has issued a press release in which Lane states, “Renishaw is looking at how it can further support CECIMO and the good work it does,”
“It is important for UK industry to have close ties and representation in Europe, in a time when relationships are changing. This means Renishaw’s relationship with CECIMO is more important than ever before.”
