SAMPE

SAMPE, which stands for the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering, is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the science and technology of materials and processes used in various industries. Founded in 1971, SAMPE serves as a global network for engineers, scientists, and industry professionals focused on composite materials, advanced manufacturing, and related fields.

The society’s mission is to foster innovation, education, and collaboration within the materials engineering community. SAMPE achieves this through conferences, technical papers, training programs, and industry standards. Its annual conference, the SAMPE International Conference & Exhibition, is one of the largest gatherings of materials and process engineers worldwide, featuring cutting-edge research, product demonstrations, and networking opportunities.

SAMPE also publishes the *Journal of SAMPE*, a peer-reviewed publication that covers advancements in composite materials, manufacturing techniques, and related technologies. Additionally, the organization offers certifications, such as the SAMPE Certified Composites Technician (SAMPE CCT) program, which validates expertise in composite materials handling and fabrication.

With chapters in multiple countries, SAMPE supports regional networking and technical exchanges. Its membership includes engineers, researchers, educators, and industry leaders from aerospace, automotive, defense, and other sectors. By promoting best practices and emerging technologies, SAMPE plays a key role in shaping the future of materials engineering and sustainable manufacturing.
