Experts on additive manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing encompasses a variety of innovative ways of producing existing products, as well as new products that could not previously be manufactured. Using advanced computational tools, like machine learning, to develop new materials and new techniques for manufacturing, new production techniques like 3D printing, and new ways of reusing manufactured products, advanced manufacturing aims to improve the quality of products, the sustainability of manufacturing processes, and the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector. WPI experts on advanced manufacturing, some of whom work in WPI’s new Advanced Manufacturing Center, can talk about advances in 3D printing with metal, sustainability in advanced manufacturing, including recycling of important metals, and the use of human-robot collaboration in manufacturing.
