ADAPT Receives Funding from DoD

Together with the University of Utah, the Colorado-based Alliance for the Development of Additive Processing Technologies (ADAPT) research consortium received government funding from the US Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment to help with the initial phase of the Mountain West Advanced Manufacturer's Network (MWAMN). The Office of Economic Adjustment Funds (OEA) is providing roughly $2.7 million in funding, and about $1.5 million of that will go to ADAPT and the Colorado School of Mines, where the R&D organization is located. ADAPT works to develop technologies that will speed up the certification and qualification of 3D printed metal parts; the new MWAMN leverages the consortium's existing data infrastructure, which was developed with help from an International Trade Advanced Industries Accelerator grant and funds from the State of Colorado Office of Economic Development and other founding member companies.
