Our team of manufacturing industry experts and engineers ensures that new technology and advanced materials are expertly integrated into the manufacturing sector. When the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute was first located on our campus in 2012, we saw great success in boosting connectivity and incorporating advanced manufacturing techniques and high-tech manufacturing systems.
The Advanced Manufacturing Program creates opportunities for small and medium-sized members of the manufacturing workforce who lack the expertise and capital to gain an advantage over the competition.
We work directly with Ohio manufacturers to assist with the implementation of manufacturing processes and assess the use of innovative technologies to improve new product quality/functionality. The Advanced Manufacturing (AM) team provides a diverse set of fee-for-service work to expand smart manufacturing offerings, for businesses in aerospace, automotive, robotics, medical devices, and more.
Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, incorporates the automation of production technologies that precisely add material, layer by layer – much different than traditional manufacturing which is often subtractive, removing materials by drilling, grinding, machining, etc.
Additive manufacturing revolutionizes industries with its rapid prototyping and improved quality control!
Overall, the choice between metal, plastic, and ceramic 3D printing depends on the specific requirements of the application, including desired material properties, functional performance, design complexity, and cost considerations.
Our team of engineers is here to support the integration of advanced manufacturing technology into the manufacturing base. See how we can revolutionize your business!
