It\u2019s clear that this new centre has the potential to shape the future of industries like aerospace, auto, medical, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With funding, in-kind, and other support from ASTM International, the organisations involved in the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence will focus on bridging standards development with R&amp;D.<\/p>\n<p>As part of that, EWI will work to build industry consortia, leveraging the organisation\u2019s track record of developing, testing, and implementing advanced manufacturing technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Frank Medina, the AM technology leader at EWI, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to be helping lead this new center of excellence with ASTM International, Auburn University, and NASA. We look forward to bringing AM industry leaders to the table and working with them to identify challenges, advance groundbreaking standards, and drive innovation in this fast-growing area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its research activities, part of Auburn University\u2019s role will be to develop education and training resources and tools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur college has made major investments in faculty, laboratories, and equipment to achieve a leadership position in additive manufacturing,\u201d said Christopher Roberts, dean of Auburn University\u2019s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. \u201cThe efforts by our faculty are resulting in significant dividends to our research program. To be recognised by ASTM International is quite an honor and we look forward to a productive, collaborative relationship with ASTM and EWI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Vickers, NASA\u2019s principal technologist in advanced manufacturing, added, \u201cNASA and ASTM International have had a decades-long relationship in developing aerospace and aviation standards that benefit NASA\u2019s mission and the industry as a whole. We look forward to working with Auburn and EWI to link R&amp;D and standardisation efforts that will uncover the vast potential of additive manufacturing applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nima Shamsaei, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Auburn University, spearheaded Auburn University\u2019s proposal. He and Doug Wells, senior engineer of structural materials at NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center, are their principal investigators.<\/p>\n<p>Other stakeholders interested in the Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence can contact Dr Mohsen Seifi, director of global additive manufacturing programs at ASTM International.
