RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of December 3, 2025, as the "National Day of 3D Printing".
Whereas additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process by which digital 3D design data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing material; Whereas 3D printing creates an object layer by layer, greatly reducing waste and increasing efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing techniques; Whereas 3D printing has grown exponentially over the last several years; Whereas the United States is a world leader in advanced manufacturing, and has a history of design innovation; Whereas public-private partnerships that promote advanced manufacturing, such as America Makes, Manufacturing x Digital, and other Manufacturing USA institutes, will develop enhanced digital capabilities to design and test new products and reduce costs in manufacturing processes across a variety of industries; Whereas 3D printing has widespread applications in home construction, home goods production, biotechnology, the automotive sector, aerospace, medicine, consumer electronics, and defense; Whereas 3D printing has the potential to reshape manufacturing in the United States, by decreasing the cost of producing goods for small businesses and local manufacturers; Whereas innovation will be increased, as 3D printing reduces the time required for product development and market launch; and Whereas December 3, 2025, would be an appropriate date to designate as the "National Day of 3D Printing": Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) supports the designation of the "National Day of 3D Printing"; (2) recognizes the economic impact of 3D printing and the positive implications of 3D printing for the United States advanced manufacturing sector; and (3) encourages the promotion and celebration of 3D printing technology.
