它是一个well known和well documentedfact that the 3D printing industry, and manufacturing in general, suffers from anemployee skills gap. Added to this, is the issue of representation, andthe potential advantages that diversity brings对于任何寻求达到广泛客户群的公司。
Set up by2018 3D Printing Industry Advocate of the Year Nominee诺拉·图雷（NoraTouré），3D印刷中的女性（WI3DP）旨在促进，支持和激发添加剂制造业中代表性不足的一个群体。今年，该倡议制作并支持了有关添加剂制造（DFAM）多样性的季度报告的发布。
由记者兼总编辑Sarah Goehrke撰写3DPrint.com，2018年第1季度的报告提供了对3D印刷行业的妇女的主观和客观评论。betway必威手机版登录
数字加起来
Objective data complied in the document has been collected from 4 source reports by management consultancy firm Alexander Daniels Global, cloud 3D printing service Sculpteo, LinkedIn, and Wohlers Associates.
在亚历山大·丹尼尔斯（Alexander Daniels）全球最近的薪水调查的关键估计中，增材制造业工作中的性别分布为87％，至13％。Split by discipline, women’s roles were divided by between R&D (8%), Application & Consulting (14%), Sales (16%), Software (6%), Service (5%) and Marketing, which is the only field within which women occupy one-fifth of employees in 29% to 71% spread.
While far from an exhaustive analysis, figures in this report were gleaned with the support of additive businesses and over 5,000 individuals across Machinery OEM’s, Material companies, Software companies and Industrial companies using 3D printing technologies.
作为初步数据，客观分析刮擦了一项更深入的研究的表面，该研究预计将在DFAM报告的后续版本中进行。莎拉（Sarah）和诺拉（Nora）已经说过，业内其他人希望将数据贡献给进一步版本。
需要改进的方面
尽管在许多贸易展览会或行业中的执行委员会中，可以亲眼目睹性别差异，但该研究尤其呼吁Stratasys和3D系统，但很难处理whatexactly can be done to improve the issue.
正如莎拉（Sarah）指出的那样，对女性的关注可能会适得其反，“必须故意专注于女性，因为它使我们挑剔，这可能是孤立的
“The ultimate intention, however, is that there would be no need to make the distinction in pointing women out.”
确实，解决方案非常简单。莎拉（Sarah）的意见以及报告中其他行业内部人士的评论所回应的是关键。
报告说：“邀请妇女参加主题演讲，在面板上发言，进行研究。”还需要考虑公共形象。
莎拉补充说：“直到我们能够达到更大的平等景象，我仍然认为这是提高行业妇女形象的必要条件。”
In the future there is also scope to broaden the remit of the diversity report to other areas of disparity, though this particular series will continue to focus on women in AM.
