Manufacturing Excellence At Scale
Manufacturing and Materials Research Laboratories (MMRL) at Purdue University hosts 30,000 square feet of the latest in manufacturing machinery and processes. Our accomplished faculty are innovating in laser machining, particle coating, roll-to-roll printing, processing and evaluation, and more – all in collaboration with industry and government partners.
Need to test new additive manufacturing processes or materials? MMRL is the place.
Working with energetic or reactive materials? Purdue's decades of experience can make it happen.
Looking for an academic partner to explore manufacturing-related research projects? Purdue University has facilities in both West Lafayette and Indianapolis.
As one of the first offshoots of Purdue's new eXcellence in Manufacturing and Operations (XMO) initiative, MMRL focuses on manufacturing research and experimentation. Together MMRL and XMO are vital components of a renaissance in U.S. manufacturing, logistics and supply chains – part of our nation's fresh commitment to revitalizing its industrial legacy, by linking physical, digital and sustainable manufacturing into a resilient, sustainable ecosystem that ensures jobs and national security.
