Purdue University has launched an ambitious effort to develop and operate a world-class Manufacturing & Materials Research Lab (MMRL). Although recently established, the lab has already made significant progress across several advanced manufacturing technologies.

Among these capabilities, additive manufacturing (AM) has quickly emerged as a major focus area. The combination of MMRL’s growing AM infrastructure and Purdue’s extensive faculty and student expertise has led to the creation of a new industry-focused center:
