In the current landscape, it can be challenging to determine if a company's environmental efforts are authentic or merely a form of greenwashing. On the latest episode of the BLUEPRTING Vlog, Björn Hannappel sits down with Sherri Monroe, the head of the Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Organization (AMGTA), who works with numerous companies dedicated to sustainability. They discuss the necessary requirements for classifying #3Dprinting as a sustainable technology.
For a more in-depth understanding, watch the previous BLUEPRINT Vlog episode #8 featuring Siemens, an AMGTA member, on the topic of sustainable 3D printed grippers. And additional information about AMGTA is available for those interested in learning more as well.

![Scaling Creativity with Additive Manufacturing with Shawn Zindroski of SNL Creative
What used to be known as rapid prototyping is slowly becoming a long-term strategy for the manufacturing industry. Brands and manufacturers who integrate additive manufacturing (AM) based on solutions for pain points are much more likely to leverage additive’s unique design language capabilities.
To discuss additive’s endless possibilities, Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with the Founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of SNL Creative Inc., Shawn Zindroski. With over three decades in the industry, Shawn reflects on innovations that shaped his career and the AM projects that will shape the future of manufacturing. The conversation is an in-depth exploration of growth strategies, and how AM can impact industries, individuals, and brands.
