Our aim is to assess the need to engage experts in other emerging technologies in the next 12 months and beyond.</p> <p>Our technical experts fulfill a number of roles. They actively engage with industry and stakeholders around the world, looking particularly at their long-term goals and current priorities. They explore new kinds of collaborative models that will help ASTM Xcellerate create impact in specific technology fields. They also provide insights and thought leadership through a program of conferences, workshops, panels, and webinars. Finally, they act as a key link between their respective technology and the rest of ASTM, ensuring that all our Xcellerate activities are coordinated to best effect.</p> </div> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" data-lazy-src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Technical-Experts-Pic.jpg"><noscript><img src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Technical-Experts-Pic.jpg" alt=""></noscript> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade " id="v-pills-home-4" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="v-pills-home-tab-4"> <div class="tab-content"><h5><span style="color: #0f35b8;">Market Insight</span></h5> <p>Stakeholders across all emerging technologies require market insight that is authoritative, independent, and above all, timely. In 2021, ASTM acquired Wohlers Associates to provide this service as part of the wider ASTM Xcellerate® proposition.</p> <p>For 25+ years, the Wohlers Report has been the definitive market intelligence publication for the additive manufacturing and 3D-printing industries. Drawing from an unrivaled global network, the report includes contributions from a myriad of authors around the globe. It contains a wealth of detailed information on AM developments, along with data, and trend lines spanning more than 30 years. The business is now operating as Wohlers Associates, powered by ASTM International.</p> <p>As part of Xcellerate, the Wohlers Report will continue to offer an unparalleled view of developments in additive manufacturing. Similar publications based on Wohlers’ established methodology are planned for other emerging technologies.</p> <p>As part of our wider Advisory Services, the Wohlers team also offers bespoke market insight consultancy to clients in the additive manufacturing sector and beyond.</p> </div> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" data-lazy-src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Market-Insight-Pic.jpg"><noscript><img src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Market-Insight-Pic.jpg" alt=""></noscript> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade " id="v-pills-home-5" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="v-pills-home-tab-5"> <div class="tab-content"><h5><span style="color: #0f35b8;">Advisory Services</span></h5> <p>Bridging the gap between R&D and sustained commercial success by harnessing standards to optimum effect can be complex and challenging for those working in emerging technologies. Events move quickly, and established processes don’t always apply. For this reason, we offer Advisory Services to organizations to help them make rapid and effective progress.</p> <p>Areas we typically cover include:<br /> – Technical and strategic consulting on new developments and trends (drawing on the expertise of Wohlers Associates – see Market Insight)<br /> – Roadmapping (often aligning technology and standards roadmaps)<br /> – Product development workshops and liaison<br /> – Bespoke analysis and technical reports – often impacting investment or M&A decisions</p> </div> <img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" data-lazy-src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Advisry-Services-Pic.jpg"><noscript><img src="https://astmxcellerate.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Advisry-Services-Pic.jpg" alt=""></noscript> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade " id="v-pills-home-6" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="v-pills-home-tab-6"> <div class="tab-content"><h5><span style="color: #0f35b8;">Workforce Training</span></h5> <p>Education and training is a further pillar of ASTM Xcellerate’s work.

Our aim is to assess the need to engage experts in other emerging technologies in the next 12 months and beyond.</p> <p>Our technical experts fulfill a number of roles. They actively engage with industry and stakeholders around the world, looking particularly at their long-term goals and current priorities. They explore new kinds of collaborative models that will help ASTM Xcellerate create impact in specific technology fields. They also provide insights and thought leadership through a program of conferences, workshops, panels, and webinars.
