The state of Ohio has awarded five Advanced Manufacturing Program (AMP) grants to nonprofit companies and universities, including the Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI), which will receive a grant of $451,300.
YBI will partner with GE Additive, Vallourec Star, LP, Humtown Products, JuggerBot 3D LLC, Printerworks LLC, Pamton 3D Commercial Printing, and Freshmade 3D to demonstrate how manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM) and sensors enable Ohio small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to become more efficient.
The project will focus on enabling increased use of AM and sensor technologies in the domestic metal casting industry. The group will provide periodic reports on progress and demonstrations as appropriate to complete the project within two years.
