Empowering Small and Medium Size Enterprises Through Effective Additive Manufacturing Data Management
The workshop will explore how best to empower the productive working relationship of small and medium size Enterprises (SMEs) with top tier manufacturers through effective additive manufacturing (AM) data management. NIST will host the event in partnership with the National Manufacturing Innovative Institute for additive manufacturing, America Makes and the Regional Additive Manufacturing Partnership of Maryland (RAMPMD). The goal is to examine the AM data management “Pain Points” associated with SME interactions with large system integrators (LSI) and government procurement agencies. The complex, diverse and frequently parochial relations between LSIs, SMEs, and customers tend to inhibit facile working relationships. This increases the cost and time required to bring a product to market while concomitantly inhibiting innovation and profitability.
Three major phases of the AM lifecycle (Development, Production, and Delta Qual./Requalification) will be explored. Innovative business models are needed to accelerate the adoption of AM. Interactions and data exchanges among stakeholders to enable existing or innovative business models will be identified. The computational tools, data repositories used, and collaborative platforms that support the interactions will be examined. Political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) challenges will be identified. Workshop results will inform a NIST programmatic strategy and assist in the development of needed standards.
