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.
