Manufacturing USA

We’re looking forward to connecting with science educators at National Science Teaching Association’s 2025 NSTA National Conference on Science Education! Stop by Booth #869 in the Expo Hall to learn more about career and workforce programs from the Manufacturing USA network that you can participate in. See how you can connect students to amazing STEM careers in advanced manufacturing. Details: https://lnkd.in/eAnikZ6H

The image of a fully automated, human-less factory often dominates discussions about the future of manufacturing. But is that the reality we're heading towards? ? At this year’s?SXSW?conference in Austin, TX, representatives from four Manufacturing USA institutes discussed just that during their “Factories of the Future” panel session. Moderated by Suzy Teele (ARM Institute), panelists Jeff Winter (CESMII), Dr. Maria Curry-Nkansah, MBA (EPIXC), and Kathie M. Leonard (Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA)) explored how far the U.S. has come with manufacturing technology, the critical role human workers will play in manufacturing facilities over the next two decades, the increasing importance of using data to streamline processes, and how these are obtainable, even for small manufacturing companies. #AdvancedManufacturing #MFGUSA #SXSW #FutureFactoriesSXSW

Don't miss this opportunity to learn what’s in store for U.S. manufacturing in the next two decades on March 10 at the Marriott Downtown Austin in the Waterloo Ballroom 1-2 at 11:30AM CT. https://lnkd.in/eKFVpqqH #FutureFactoriesSXSW #AdvancedManufacturing #ManufacturingUSA #MFGUSAatSXSW

Congratulations on 10 years, IACMI – The Composites Institute, and on the new facility!!

As we continue our celebration of ten years of Manufacturing USA, we are shining a spotlight on PowerAmerica, the wide bandgap semiconductor institute devoted to innovative power electronics products and systems. Also celebrating 10 years, PowerAmerica is playing a key role in what institute Executive Director and Chief Technology Officer Victor Veliadis calls “the electrification of everything” by developing super efficient, high-powered semiconductors based on silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies. Using these semiconductors in power applications such as electric vehicles, grid and renewables, industrial motor systems, consumer electronics, and data centers will have a huge impact on energy security. “We can make semiconductor chip fabrication successfully, and in an economically viable way, here in the United States. We have the data and the body of work to prove that,” Veliadis says. Learn more about what Veliadis envisions in the electrified future PowerAmerica will help shape over the next 10 years. https://lnkd.in/euZGXrYi #AdvancedManufacturing #Semiconductors #ManufacturingUSA #PowerAmerica

As Manufacturing USA celebrates our 10th anniversary, we shine a spotlight on the first manufacturing innovation institute, America Makes. Since its establishment in 2012, America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, has been a driving force in advancing additive manufacturing (3D printing) and building a dynamic ecosystem of government, academic, and industry stakeholders. This model of public-private collaboration is a hallmark of the Manufacturing USA network. ? Beyond driving innovation in additive manufacturing, America Makes is tackling critical challenges in traditional industries. For instance, it recently explored how 3D printing can transform casting and forging operations — strengthening supply chains, enhancing design flexibility, and bolstering national defense. ? Discover how America Makes continues to build on its legacy and read what Executive Director John Wilczynski envisions for the institute’s next decade: https://lnkd.in/ewqNw2kV #AdvancedManufacturing #ManufacturingUSA #AmericaMakes #AdditiveManufacturing
