SME and Women in 3D Printing (Wi3DP), a global organization with a mission to close the gender gap in Additive Manufacturing (AM), are partnering to attract and build a diverse next gen workforce to advance the AM industry.
SME执行董事兼首席执行官Robert Willig说：“ SME自1980年代后期以来一直在促进增材制造业的发展和发展，我们继续受到其人员和技术的启发。”“协作至关重要，我们很高兴与3D印刷中的女性建立这种战略合作伙伴关系，该组织分享了我们对促进和推进添加剂制造并为每个人创造更具包容性行业的热情。”
Willig said combining SME’s 90-years of manufacturing experience, vast resources, and scope with Wi3DP’s passionate network and robust programs will accelerate their shared mission to develop technology, connection, inclusivity, and opportunities to introduce the next generation to the benefits of a career in AM. This is an important step in closing the skills gap.
“重要的是，添加剂制造业反映了现实世界，我们想向所有人发送一个明确的信息，”全志愿组织3D Printing的创始人Nora Toure说。“我们正在寻找一个合作伙伴，以更多的方式帮助我们访问更多的添加剂社区中的更多人，我们很荣幸能以其数十年的专业知识加入SME，以实现这一重要任务。”
With a mission of promoting, supporting, and inspiring women using AM technologies, Wi3DP seeks to foster a more diverse industry. In just seven years, Wi3DP has grown from a simple blog to one of the largest AM communities worldwide, with over 80 chapters in 36 countries.
The collaboration initially includes four initiatives:
- 第2023大会会议，专注于技术，行业，人民和经济学，现在将由中小企业和Wi3DP共同制作和支持。这支持了全年提供AM参与和教育的共同目标，包括通过数字平台。
- SME的2023 Rapid + TCT。SME和WI3DP将于明年在芝加哥的Rapid + TCT上推出“ Wi3DP展示柜”。这个重要的展示柜将通过面对面的体验扩展tipe的价值。
–NextGen Mentorship Pilot. Recognizing the importance of workforce development, with a shared commitment to the next generation, SME and Wi3DP will partner on a NextGen Mentorship pilot program, expanding on Wi3DP’s existing program.
- 添加剂制造的多元化2023年度报告。Wi3DP和SME将在增材行业合作这一对多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）的年度衡量标准。该报告将研究组织如何扩大和发展其员工队伍，同时提供资源使DEI易于访问，可理解和可行。
