Protolabs Joins MIT's Additive Manufacturing Consortium to Advance Next-Gen Manufacturing Technology
“We’ve experienced firsthand the tremendous progress that additive
manufacturing has made over the past decade, and we’re quickly
approaching another important milestone in 3D printing’s rapid ascent
into industrial manufacturing space. My hope is that ADAPT will not only
evolve additive manufacturing as a viable digital manufacturing solution
for prototyping, but also end-use production. We are thrilled to be a
founding member of ADAPT to help make that a reality,” said
Joining Protolabs as founding members of ADAPT are
“AM [additive manufacturing] — and the path toward a responsive, digital manufacturing infrastructure both within and between organizations — requires multidisciplinary expertise at the cutting edge of mechanical engineering, computer science, materials, and other fields,” explained Hart. “I am thrilled to launch ADAPT to accelerate MIT’s efforts toward enabling a next generation of production technologies, wherein AM is a cornerstone.”
Among the initial efforts of ADAPT are seeding exploratory research
projects with faculty and graduate students, and accelerating the
establishment of a new, advanced additive manufacturing laboratory at
