Thank you for visiting the New Jersey Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (NJ SAMPE). Chartered in 1977, the same year as the release of the original Star Wars, the launch of Voyager 1, and the debut of the TRS-80 Micro Computer (!), NJ SAMPE is one of the oldest Chapters in the SAMPE network. We serve the greater NJ/NY/CT/PA area by focusing on membership, as well as student and young professional outreach. Currently at 90+ members, including 10 SAMPE Fellows, 13 Senior Honorary Members, one George Lubin Award Winner, and one Young Professionals Emerging Leader Award Winner, NJ SAMPE was designated in 2018 as SAMPE's Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing (AM).
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, 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 successor award, SAMPE Chapter of the Year, was awarded in 2024. Our Regional Additive Manufacturing Symposia were held in 2019, 2020(v), 2023, and 2024.
