Manufacturing Technology: Linking Materials

Provide the crucial link between technology

invention and development, and industrial

applications. Learn to identify emerging,

innovative manufacturing technologies and transformational

opportunities that can bring about dramatic improvements to DoD

and industrial base capabilities. This presentation focuses on:• Advanced Manufacturing Propulsion Initiative (AMPI), a key effort to

transition advanced materials and designs into turbine engines• Manufacturing readiness of emerging technologies such as ceramic

matrix composites, ceramic bearings, high temperature polymeric

composites and additive manufacturing• Investment in casting, small hole-drilling and machining to reduce

production costs and improve aerospace supplier capability

Learn about strategies guiding future program opportunities.
