PLEASE NOTE: Discussions are likely to include ITAR content. Attendee Certification Requirements Government Attendees All U.S. active duty military personnel and Government Civilian Employees are exempt from the following certification requirements, but must show proper identification at registration check-in (Government ID preferred). Non-Government Attendees (Including Contractors) To qualify to attend the conference, you must be a U.S. Citizen. All non-government attendees (including contractors) are required to have a government Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Information Service certified DD Form 2345. The certification number is provided by the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office (JCO) located at the Logistics Information Services in Battle Creek, Michigan. This is the only authorized source of certification numbers. Find out if you have a current DD Form 2345 Certification To determine if your employer already has a certification on file that extends to all employees at your location, visit the website at https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/ or call the Joint Certification Office at 1-800-352-3572. PLEASE NOTE: Every location of a company MUST have its own certification. ******* Background, Approach, Goals: This is an exclusive workshop in partnership with NASA, AFRL, DoE/ARPA-E, MDA, and OSD, and available only to individuals who have a strong familiarity with strategic priorities, design and AM technology readiness, and the challenges in leveraging AM for propulsion applications in commercial space and defense industries.   The workshop addresses an important topic for the industry as additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for propulsion applications continue to mature. Industry experts will focus on the propulsion systems for high-speed air-breathing, liquid fuel rocket, and nuclear-powered systems.  Workshop discussions will offer insights into the function and operating characteristics essential to these applications. Presentations will promote common understanding amongst a diverse range of subject matter experts in attendance and foster discussions for developing and delivering a strategic roadmap for propulsion applications. Brainstorming, affinization, and prioritization exercises will also occur which will result in a prioritized, time-phased strategy for the advancement of AM technologies for each propulsion application domain. Various factors and expertise will be crucial to deriving a successful outcome including design, AM processes, post-processing, materials engineering, testing, inspection, qualification, certification, and advanced digital tools (modeling, monitoring, etc.). We request that you do not forward this registration link to others. It is intended solely for your purpose. If you feel that another individual is better suited to attend the workshop, please contact Todd Spurgeon at [email protected]. Space is limited and registration is on a first-come first served basis. Attendees must be U.S. citizens. All non-government attendees (including contractors) are required to submit a DD Form 2345.  On-site registration will not be permitted. America Makes will deliver a strategic roadmap and applied research and development strategy using participant inputs which will outline time-phased priorities, milestones, and associated benefits for each propulsion application domain. These details will be provided in a final report (which will be shared with all participants) addressing needs and gaps associated with the technological and manufacturing challenges and opportunities facing the extensive adoption of AM technologies for space and defense propulsion applications.
