Collaboration Driving the Future of Additive Manufacturing

 

Two of the most influential minds in composite materials research, Dr. Byron Pipes and Dr. Eduardo Barocio of Purdue University discuss how Purdue University, the CAMS Consortium, and Thermwood are partnering to advance large-scale 3D printing with LSAM technology. Watch the full interview to learn why digital simulation is key to additive manufacturing’s future and how LSAM is bridging the gap between research and production.

How American manufacturing uses the IACMI-led America’s Cutting Edge program to find CNC operators

 

Coldspring, a fabricator of granite products, has largely built their CNC workforce from within. Like other manufacturing companies, they’re on the hunt for CNC operators.  See how they’re finding them faster with ACE. 

Where Industry Meets Art

 

Cory Bonnet is blending art and industry to spark interest in advanced manufacturing careers through his initiative Patterns of Meaning. In partnership with the METAL program supported by IACMI, he will bring hands-on workshops to more than 1,000 K–12 students in Pennsylvania. By connecting historic foundry patterns with modern tools like CAD, sand casting, and 3D printing, the effort aims to show young people that manufacturing is creativity, problem-solving, and invention.

LAST CALL to Submit Your Proposal

 

IACMI is accepting proposals from members for the next round of Resource Pool Projects. These are technical projects that are supported with IACMI Consortium Resource Pool funding up to $50,000. They advance, utilize, or demonstrate emerging technologies that have the potential to attract higher levels of follow-on-funding. Submissions will be accepted through Sept. 12.
