CCAT accepting applications for 2015 Manufacturing Technical Assistance Program

Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT), East Hartford, Conn., is accepting applications for the 2015 Manufacturing Technical Assistance Program (MTAP) through Dec. 31, 2014. Manufacturing companies with less than 100 employees, including start-ups, are invited to submit project proposals for solving manufacturing process problems or to support the ability to offer new services or begin the manufacture of new products.
“At the Advanced Manufacturing Center, our current focus is on optimization of CNC programs, additive manufacturing (both plastics and metals), and precision machining. We collaborate with academia and a network of technology partners to offer custom solutions for enhancing manufacturing operations and productivity,” said Elliot Ginsberg, CCAT president and CEO.
Under this state legislature-financed program, through assistance from the University of Connecticut, CCAT receives funding to support company projects based on the specific needs of each organization. In reviewing applications, CCAT places particular emphasis on how a company’s project enhances manufacturing operations in Connecticut, including growth, retention of jobs, or increasing company revenue. While firms from any industry sector may apply, the proposal must relate to manufacturing operations. Proposed projects must start by February 2015 and be substantially completed within six months.
CCAT expects to fund multiple proposals, with potential awards to a maximum of $75,000 per project. Specific project areas include machining process improvements, optimized tool paths for simultaneous 5- and 7-axis machining, inspection process improvements, reverse engineering a solid model, prototype development, and additive manufacturing applications using 3-D printing with plastics and metals.
