SUMMARY: America Makes is our nation’s ‘accelerator’ in terms of working to improve 3D printing exponentially, streamlining every facet of the industry from design to materials and how they are developed conceptually and economically. With a call for proposals running until May, teams can enter in the hopes of being funded up to $1 million per project in the areas of research and development regarding materials, design, processes, manufacturing, and the 3D printing genome.
