                        Thursday, March 23, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize ADAPT as the 
2016 winner of the Genesis Award from the Jeffco EDC.
   The Genesis Award recognizes an innovative and collaborative 
individual, city or organization that has significantly contributed to 
Jefferson County's economic vitality.
   The Alliance for the Development of Additive Processing Technologies 
(ADAPT) is a research and development organization dedicated to the 
development of next-generation data and advanced technologies for 
additive manufacturing technologies. Their technology helps industry 
and government qualify, standardize, assess, and optimize advanced 
manufacturing processes and parts. Industry partners such as Faustson 
Tools, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation, and Lockheed-Martin 
Space Systems came together to help support and secure a grant from the 
Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) 
to establish ADAPT in December 2015. This world-class program is 
headquartered at Colorado School of Mines where students and post-
doctoral researchers specifically work to improve nickel-based and 
titanium-based alloy 3D printing with work from Mines students and 
post-doctoral researchers.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to ADAPT for this well-deserved 
recognition from the Jeffco EDC.
