COMMUNITY FIRSTS Opening remarks at the ASM Annual Meeting. F or this issue, our Materials Science and Coronavirus se- ries takes us on a short drive from ASM headquarters to Youngstown, Ohio. This is where America Makes—a pub- lic-private partnership for advancedmanufacturing technolo- gy and education—is mobilizing the manufacturing commu- nity to address shortages of personal protective equipment, medical devices, and diagnostic test equipment. What an innovative use of community! Having toured America Makes a few years ago and been enthralled with the candy store-like lobby full of unique 3D-printed objects, it seems fitting to include them in this issue on additive manufacturing (AM). Among this issue’s core AM articles, VELO3D shares several case studies showing how the use of metal 3D printing can increase material performance and value. Our AM coverage continues in the SMST NewsWire supplement where we learn how the shape memory alloy (SMA) Nitinol, when 3D printed, can achieve better solid-state cooling performance than that of traditionally manufactured SMAs. By the way, congratulations to the Shape Memory and Superelasticity jour- nal on its five-year anniversary. Read the story in the SMST NewsWire and learn about the editors to be credited for this success. The ASM community has more milestones to celebrate. On September 14, during a first-ever virtual ASM Annual Meeting, Diana Essock, FASM, became ASM President and only the third woman to hold the po- sition in the society’s history. In place of their “From the Presi- dent’s Desk” and “MD Corner” columns, Essock and Acting Managing Director Ron Aderhold, respectively, co-authored an article in ASMNews about the unique process used for strategic planning this year. Also in the “firsts” column was the use of Zoombreakout sessions for board and staff brainstorming as part of strate- gic planning. The technology replicates the in-person experience of dividing out into subgroups. I participated and have to say the technology was impressive. September also included a virtual Leadership Days spanning two weeks. Breakout sessions were used for discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and two networking happy hours helped foster interaction among attendees. ASM’s upcoming new event, IMAT — The Virtual Edition, October 26-28, w ill also offer online networking events in addition to premier technical talks and an exhibit hall experience. It is remarkable how many ways we can stay connected with our members and the engineering community through these software tools. Another new tool growing in usage is ASM Connect and its discussion fo- rums. Marin Manole of SP Foundry, posted this query: “What do you feel is the future of 3D metal printing, and what is the real cost of parts made using this process?” Here is a portion of the reply from Zachary Birky of Caterpillar: “Keep inmind that we are only a few years (5-20) into the development of AM. Yes, there are many quality problems facing current AM parts (internal porosity, surface fin- ish, build speed, residual stresses). However, as the industry grows and thinks of new ways to improve quality, there will be increased adoption of AM usage.” And we’ll be here to report those firsts to the ASM community. joanne.miller@asminternational.org
