AMUG 2021: A Round-Up of all the News from the Event

AMUG 2021 has officially ended! As you probably know, the Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) association has been organizing this conference since the 1990s, this year it took place on May 2 – 6, 2021, in Orlando, Florida. The conference is eagerly anticipated each year, not the least because of its goal of educating and supporting all users of additive manufacturing technologies with the motto “for users, by users”, but this year perhaps even more so than usual. That is because AMUG is one of the first physical conferences in the AM world in a little over a year, as many others were cancelled or pushed back as a result of COVID-19. With stringent safety measures in place, including requiring face masks and social distancing, hand sanitizer stations, and more, AMUG ensured that they followed all CDC guidelines. However, with so many attendees you can imagine that quite a bit of news came out of the conference, so we have prepared a recap on all the news you might have missed!
