The adoption of Smart Manufacturing is fast becoming a necessity for small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) looking to stay competitive in the Industry 4.0 age. For those SMMs in the national security ecosystem, it's no longer a suggestion — it's a requirement.
Twenty-five percent of the United States suffers from urinary incontinence and several Auburn University students and faculty are working to help make their lives better.
The Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS) at Auburn University recently challenged area college students to an Additive Manufacturing Competition in which the teams would design and build a propeller for a submarine.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently awarded Auburn University's National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) and the ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) nearly $1 million to establish through computer vision and machine learning a data-driven framework for the non-destructive qualification of additively manufactured materials and parts for mission critical applications.
The Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS) at Auburn University aims to assist small and medium-sized manufacturers in the U.S. improve the adoption of advanced technologies associated with Industry 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing. A large part of this mission includes improving the skills of the next generation of engineers to take full advantage of those technologies, and the first ICAMS Student Defined Research Awards will help fulfill that mission.
Jia (Peter) Liu, an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, will lead a multi-disciplinary team of scientists on a nearly $500,000 National Science Foundation grant to transform the distributed additive manufacturing industry.
The Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems at Auburn University was awarded $7.2 million from the Department of Defense Office of Industrial Policy's Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program to encourage small and medium-sized manufacturers to adopt advanced technologies associated with Industry 4.0 or smart manufacturing.
Auburn Engineering faculty representing multiple disciplines will help to accelerate the transition to lead-free electronics in aerospace, defense and other high-performance electronics industries through the newly-formed Defense Electronics Consortium.
The Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS) at Auburn University has received a $4.26 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense to explore the digitalization of manufacturing and become a resource for small and medium manufacturers throughout the country.
Thanks to a recent $3 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University will soon initiate a two-year project focused on improving commercial air travel through the use of 3D-printed (or additively manufactured) metal components.
