In addition, the site will reveal more opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in applications for aerospace, automotive, energy, manufacturing, medical devices, and robotics.”

“With approximately 150,000 unique visitors per year, AdditiveManufacturing.com has been a trusted source for industry news and information,” said McDaniel. “Metrix and our advisors are ready to take it to the next level with fresh content, news, resources, industry reports, and more. We plan to grow our audience by combining the world class knowledge and content for which ASME is known in the AM space with the accessibility of a top domain in the field.”
