Do you want full access to EWI’s resources and services?
Your EWI membership connects you with our engineers and industry experts one-on-one. It’s a valuable way to extend your team, access leading engineering and advanced manufacturing research, collaborate on solutions, and deliver real results for your organization.
EWI member companies have direct access to our manufacturing process expertise, technical competence, and above all, our people. As a member, you’ll develop a relationship with a technology advisor who knows your industry and connects you with the experts who can help with your specific challenge. This personal approach makes our membership opportunity stand out.
We have several levels of membership with different benefits. You can select the EWI membership level that is right for your organization.
EWI Member Benefits
Your membership includes personalized, confidential access to our subject matter experts in addition to the knowledge transfer and networking impact of a traditional materials science and engineering association membership. This benefits your entire organization. Use your membership to avoid early product development pitfalls and be more confident in your innovations.
Advantages include but are not limited to the following:
Technical Inquiries
You and your entire team can make technical inquiries to EWI’s engineering staff throughout the year. (Each inquiry is capped at 2 hours of staff time). You can place inquiries anytime via [email protected], phone, fax, or through our members-only website.
Design Reviews
EWI members can request an design review at one of our locations for a subject expert consultation. Each four-hour review matches you with two EWI engineers who are qualified to discuss your specific technical design, questions, or issues, and provide confidential recommendations.
Library: Literature Searches
EWI librarians can provide members with a quick overview of publications related to their technology, materials, or process issue. The EWI library has access to more than 30 million abstracts.
Library: Article Retrievals
EWI members can request the articles they wish to receive, and our library will deliver them. There is no charge to member companies for this service.
Members-only Publications
In monthly newsletters, members get exclusive research reports, technical papers, industry news, and insider views. Members are also invited to special events, seminars, and presentations. These advantages aren’t offered in a typical manufacturing engineer society – and we’re offering them to your entire team!
Cyber Risk Assessment
A free Cyber Risk Assessment is available to EWI members through the National Association of Manufacturers Cyber Cover program. This service evaluates your company’s vulnerability and identifies weaknesses that could make you a target for hackers.
Member Central Website
At our secure, members-only website, you can access the EWI Library as well as a contact directory for all our experts. You can also search for technical papers, view members-only content, and submit requests to our research librarians to conduct custom searches. You can also make technical inquiries and use various online tools.
Engineering Site Visit
Take advantage of a full-day, onsite consultation from an EWI technical specialist. Services can include design reviews, process evaluations, manufacturing audits, and technical guidance. We also provide a summary of findings, identified opportunities, and recommended next steps.
EWI Membership: The Quantifiable Difference
