Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing

Welcome

NJ SAMPE was designated as SAMPE's first Center of Excellence for Additive Manufacturing (AM) in 2018. Our mission is to highlight Additive Manufacturing technology, research, and collaboration. We aim to facilitate the cooperation between academic and industrial organizations to bridge the gap between AM research and wide-scale implementation.

2024 AM Symposium

On August 21, 2024 we hosted the 2024 Regional Additive Manufacturing Symposium, held in cooperation with Rowan University and the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Institute. There were 48 attendees, 15 guest speakers, 11 student posters from 4 universities, and 6 exhibitors. The program is available here.

2023 AM Symposium

On June 22th, 2023 we hosted the 2023 Regional Additive Manufacturing Symposium, held in cooperation with Rowan University and the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Institute. This was a watershed event for NJ SAMPE, showcasing rising talent in the additive manufacturing space. There were 74 attendees, 13 guest speakers, 13 student posters and 2 exhibitors. Kaneka and Shimadzu served as Corporate sponsors. The program is available here.

Fall 2022 AM Series

Beginning with our September 8, 2022 monthly meeting, NJSAMPE featured a series of guest speakers presenting their latest AM work.  Visit our Events page for details. 

Inaugural AM Symposium

On June 14th, 2019 we hosted the inaugural Regional Additive Manufacturing Symposium, held in cooperation with Rutgers School of Engineering. There were 74 attendees, 16 guest speakers, and 8 exhibitors. Attendees hailed from as far afield as Boston, Philadelphia, South Carolina, and Central Pennsylvania representing academic institutions, the end-user community, materials developers, and original equipment manufacturers.

The welcome address was delivered by the Dean of the Rutgers University School of Engineering. Panelists from both academic and industrial backgrounds then inspired a lively discussion about bridging the gap between AM research and wide-scale implementation. The members of the panel were:


  • Professor Nicolas Alvarez - Drexel University Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering
  • Thomas Farnan - Sr. Account Executive from Cimquest, a NJ based AM reseller and job shop
  • Sangya Varma - COO of the Rutgers Biofabrication Workforce Development Center
  • Russell Caspe - Advanced Engineering Manager, Gentex Corporation


A networking lunch was served after the panel discussion, allowing registrants a chance to peruse the exhibitor area. The symposium exhibitors were: 3HTi, Allegheny Education Systems, Inc., FlackTek, The NJ Center for Biomaterials, Shimadzu, SilTech, SunP Biotech, and ThermoFisher Scientific.The afternoon sessions were split into two tracks, academic and industrial. The academic track featured speakers from Rutgers University, NC A&T State University, and The Penn State University. The industrial track featured speakers from Formlabs, Gentex, Flightware, Dixie Chemical, Evonik, KAI, and Total Cray Valley.
