波士顿–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(美国商业资讯)– 在2026年度会员峰会结束后，AMGTA今日发布了《资源高效型制造体系中的增材制造》(Additive Manufacturing in Resource-Efficient Manufacturing Systems)独立报告，确立了应如何在零部件、系统和企业层面评估、传达和应用增材制造。 该报告构建了一套系统性论述，说明增材制造不应仅在零部件层面进行评估，而应覆盖零部件、系统和企业三个层级，增材制造在资源效率、供应链韧性和资金配置方面的核心优势正是在这些层面得以真正体现。报告基于对增材制造生态系统双方——技术开发商和制造应用企业——长达六年的持续观察，得出了任何一方仅凭自身视角都无法获得的结论。报告可用于投资者演示、政策讨论、采购洽谈和组织决策。 该报告与配套的《2030战略》文件一道，在4月13日于波士顿举办的2026年度会员峰会上向AMGTA全球会员进行了展示和研讨。 增材制造与传统制造的标准成本对比仅核算了双方相同的直接生产成本，却系统性忽略了传统制造中隐含的隐性成本——需求确定前投入的模具资金、库存持有成本、

波士頓–(BUSINESS WIRE)–(美國商業資訊)– 在2026年度會員高峰會結束後，AMGTA今日發表了《資源高效型製造體系中的積層製造》(Additive Manufacturing in Resource-Efficient Manufacturing Systems)獨立報告，確立了應如何在零組件、系統和企業層面評估、傳達和應用積層製造。 該報告建構了一套系統性論述，說明積層製造不應僅在零組件層面進行評估，而應涵蓋零組件、系統和企業三個層級，積層製造在資源效率、供應鏈韌性和資金配置方面的核心優勢正是在這些層面得以真正體現。報告依據對積層製造生態系統雙方——技術開發商和製造應用企業——長達六年的持續觀察，得出了任何一方僅憑自身視角都無法獲得的結論。報告可用於投資人簡報、政策討論、採購洽談和組織決策。 該報告與配套的《2030策略》文件一起，在4月13日於波士頓舉辦的2026年度會員高峰會上向AMGTA全球會員進行了展示和研討。 積層製造與傳統製造的標準成本對比僅核算了雙方相同的直接生產成本，卻系統性忽略了傳統製造中隱含的隱性成本——需求確定前投入的模具資金、庫存持有成
April 16, 2026 /3BL/ – Invasive species, introduced accidentally or purposefully outside their original range, can wreak havoc in their new environments, contributing to 60% of global wildlife extinctions and costing $423 billion per year. A new report from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) explores how, when eradication is not possible, developing commercial uses for these pests can help manage their populations and provide environmental and economic benefits to local communities. It presents a first-of-its-kind framework to help businesses and ecologists evaluate the potential benefits and unintended consequences of large-scale harvesting for commercial use.
“The complex part of creating new markets is the chicken-and-egg problem,” said Julia Kurnik, senior director for innovation startups at the Markets Institute at WWF and co-author of the report. “It’s risky to build procurement and processing infrastructure without existing market demand; but companies won’t launch new products until there’s stable supply and processing capabilities. But we’re working on solutions to this problem and already seeing progress.”
Using market forces is a new approach to addressing invasive species, and success will require collaboration from both the conservation and business worlds. To address this challenge, WWF has created a ‘Market Uses for Invasives’ framework. The framework aims to de-risk market-based solutions while centering positive environmental outcomes.
“Creating large-scale markets for invasive species requires planning and rigorous analysis. Our framework helps answer questions that haven’t been fully explored before,” said Emily Moberg, senior director at the Markets Institute and report co-author. “There is a very real risk of unintended consequences with commodifying invasive species; it’s essential we get this right and only use market solutions when they make ecological and business sense.”
To illustrate the framework’s utility, the report applies it to two invasive species causing considerable environmental and economic damage: carp and black locust trees. The analysis examines carp for pet food and black locust for lumber.
There are several companies working to address the bottleneck in processing capacity for invasive carp for the pet food and consumer markets. In 2026, pet food company Chippin launched IGNIZA, a new brand with a large-scale processing facility so other pet food companies can incorporate invasive species into their own products. Other companies, like Two Rivers Fisheries and Impact Fisheries, are developing carp burgers and fish cakes to serve in schools as part of a larger educational campaign about the impacts of invasive species.
“Most pet food in the U.S. comes from byproducts of human food processing. But with demand growing and more consumers seeking human‑grade options, we need new ingredients that don’t add environmental pressure,” said Haley Russell, founder of Chippin and IGNIZA. “Sourcing nutrient‑dense invasive carp for pet food protects native fish, reduces environmental harm, and turns an ecological challenge into part of the solution.”
Going forward, WWF will continue to support and explore the potential of using market forces to address invasive species. This will include revising, refining, and sharing the framework, along with encouraging efforts through business and supply chain support. WWF will also develop additional case studies and share lessons learned, ensuring that all collected wisdom is available long-term.
