and ,mr4 ,crdenas7 submitted the        
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,energy and       
,commerce  ,,resolution  ,expressing    
support for designation of ,december #c1
 #bjad1 as the ,national ,day of #c;,d  
,printing4  ,whereas additive           
manufacturing1 also known as #c;,d      
printing1 is a process by which digital 
#c;,d design data is used to build up a 
component in layers by depositing       
material2 ,whereas #c;,d printing       
creates an object layer by layer1       
greatly reducing waste and increasing   
efficiency compared to traditional      
manufacturing techniques2 ,whereas #c;,d
 printing has grown exponentially over  
the last several years2 ,whereas the    

,united ,states is a world leader in    
advanced manufacturing1 and has a       
history of design innovation2 ,whereas  
public-private partnerships that promote
 advanced manufacturing1 such as the    
,digital ,manufacturing and ,design     
,innovation ,institute and other        
,manufacturing ,innovation ,institutes1 
will develop enhanced digital           
capabilities to design and test new     
products and reduce costs in            
manufacturing processes across a variety
 of industries2 ,whereas #c;,d printing 
has widespread applications in home     
construction1 home goods production1    
biotechnology1 the automotive sector1   
aerospace1 medicine1 consumer           
electronics1 and defense2 ,whereas #c;,d
 printing has the potential to reshape  
manufacturing in the ,united ,states1 by
 decreasing the cost of producing goods 
for small businesses and local          
manufacturers2 ,whereas innovation will 
be increased1 as #c;,d printing reduces 
the time required for product           

development and market launch2 and      
,whereas ,december #c1 #bjad1 would be  
an appropriate date to designate as the 
,national ,day of #c;,d ,printing3 ,now1
 therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of  
,representatives--  7#a7 supports the   
designation of the ,national ,day of    
#c;,d ,printing2  7#b7 recognizes the   
economic impact of #c;,d printing and   
the positive implications of #c;,d      
printing for the ,united ,states        
advanced manufacturing sector2 and  7#c7
 encourages the promotion and           
celebration of #c;,d printing
