Not too long ago, the idea that people would be able to print a drivable car would have seemed absurd, yet that’s now reality thanks to innovations in advanced manufacturing.
Advanced manufacturing is just what the name implies—any form of building, producing, or even weaving products using techniques and materials that previously didn’t exist.
The College of Engineering has rapidly staked a claim in this emerging field thanks to some key faculty, new centers, and breakthroughs in research being conducted there and through the university’s ongoing partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
