From the Chair

Thank you for visiting the New Jersey Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (NJ SAMPE) website. Chartered in 1977, by SAMPE North America, NJ SAMPE is one of the oldest in the SAMPE network. We serve the greater NJ/NY/CT/PA area by focusing on membership value, as well as student and young professional outreach. We boast over 60 active members, including eight SAMPE Fellow and ten Senior Honorary Members. NJ SAMPE was designated as SAMPE's first Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the Fall of 2018 and a member of our Chapter Board was recognized as a recipient of the SAMPE Young Professionals Emerging Leadership Award in 2020.
Although NJ SAMPE had to stop holding our traditional in-person dinner meetings in April 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions,we have hosted seven virtual meetings since September. Our "lunch-and-learn" technical meetings are open to both SAMPE members and non-members free of charge.
Building on the success of our virtual members program, NJ SAMPE is proud to be hosting an "Additive Manufacturing Month" in June 2021. Throughout the month, we will feature local companies and AM research groups on our social media pages, in our newsletter, and during four virtual chapter meetings scheduled for every Thursday in June at noon. We will explore the current state of commercial AM applications, showcase trends toward advancing its adoption and highlight academic achievements in this area.
We encourage you to participate and network, either for business opportunities, recruitment or keeping up with industry trends, especially in the NJ/NY/CT/PA  region. As the only technical society encompassing all fields of endeavor in materials  and processes, SAMPE provides a valuable forum for scientists, engineers and academics.  SAMPE’s strength can be found in its vital core of local chapters, each with its own unique heritage and program offerings.

We invite you to discover our site and join our membership community.

Sincerely,  Russell J Caspe 

Chair, NJ SAMPE

About Us

History

The first organizational meetings to form a  New Jersey SAMPE Chapter were held in 1967. A Charter from the  International SAMPE society formalizing our Chapter was received in  April 1977.  Since then the Chapter has sponsored Technical Conferences  in 1981, 1989, 1998, 2009 and 2012 and International SAMPE Symposia in  1996, 1998 and 2002. Co-sponsorship years included 1994, 1996 and 2006.   The Chapter was also awarded the International SAMPE Best Chapter Award  in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and  2001. The award was subsequently retired..
