The association was launched in 2019 and aims to show how additive manufacturing (AM) can help improve sustainability across a range of industries.
As a founding member, Höganäs has representation on the board of the AMGTA, which will allow it to help promote and improve sustainability through AM, the company said.
The long-term goals of the AMGTA are to develop best practices for additive manufacturing, as well as to drive sustainability initiatives and promote the reduction of environmental impact from manufacturing in general. In order to accomplish these goals, the AMGTA will engage in marketing and advertising campaigns, sponsor and conduct research and publish the results, and grow the organisation’s membership.
“As a sustainability leader in our industry, we believe we can really accelerate and contribute to the AMGTA’s mission,” said Kennet Almkvist, president of customization technologies. “We see it as our responsibility to drive sustainability initiatives, and working alongside the AMGTA will only help to achieve these ambitions.”
