    On this episode the AM Voices podcast, Adam J. Penna had a follow-up chat with Neal Orringer, President of ASTRO America,  after hearing him speak on a panel at ASME’s AM Industry Summit back in June 2022.

    President Biden launched the ‘AM Forward’ initiative in May 2022.

    “One of the best ways to lower the cost of the goods and services that families rely on is to make more things in America, with more secure, resilient supply chains.” – White House fact sheet from the May 6 launch of AM Forward –

    AM Forward builds on that work and advances key Administration goals:

    • More resilient and innovative supply chains, by investing in small and medium sized companies;
    • Growing industries of the future, overcoming coordination challenges that limit adoption of new technologies like additive manufacturing; and
    • Both inventing and making more in America, through investments in regional manufacturing ecosystems.

    2:00 – Addressing Supply Chain Bottlenecks 

    3:00 – Seven Lead System Integrators 

    4:20 – AM Forward was born…talking with President Biden about AM adoption 

    5:20 – “Whole of Corporation” – drive adoption of AM (casting & forging) 

    6:10 –  Financing, Qualification, Education – how small & medium suppliers access capital markets, receive qualification, and  improve workforce development.

    14:07 – Starting at the customer base with lead system integrators that are driving digitalization of the American supply chain 

    19:00 – ROI and bridging the gap & re-training the workforce
