Shames replied that his company's global supply chain was some what disrupted, but as a young company, they navigated the crisis fairly smoothly. Citrine's workers were comfortable with remote technology, and they had already applied materials science core principles to workplace organization and relation ships.

Success in AM requires enriching the entire talent pipeline, which involves reskilling the current workforce, identifying and reaching out to underrepresented populations, and crafting K-16 curricula, Cramer said. America Makes has executed more than 100 collaborative EWD projects across the "K-to-gray superhighway," targeting kindergartners and Girl Scouts all the way to older workers, with an eye toward creating pathways for lifelong learning and career advancement.

Cramer also noted, in reply to a question, that a collaborative platform enables workers to move between America Makes and its affiliated companies, and Thomas commented that those transitions represent success stories. Cramer added that because AM is beginning to merge with subtractive manufacturing methods, it is including subtractive manufacturing training in its EWD program to ensure that machinists learn those skills as well.
