The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) is a trade association based in McLean, Virginia, in the United States . It was founded as the National Machine Tool Builders' Association (NMTBA) in 1902. It represents and promotes the interests of American providers of manufacturing machinery and equipment.[1]

As machine tools advanced, NMTBA launched the first National Machine Tool Builders’ Exposition in 1927, which would later be rebranded IMTS- International Manufacturing Technology Show.

The AMT’s most visible activity is its management of the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), which is held on even-numbered years at McCormick Place in Chicago , Illinois.[2]

Examples of activities fostered by the AMT include:

  • Standardization of the taper used on Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) milling machines. See Machine taper for a discussion of NMTB tapers.
  • Initiation of MTConnect, a standard for open web-based communication to manufacturing equipment.[3]
