Recently, EWI led the development of the first comprehensive U.S. Advanced Joining and Forming Technology Roadmap under a program funded by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) program. The goal of this two-year effort was to develop a prioritized list of research and development topics aimed at increasing the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.
The roadmap provides a national perspective on the technical and economic needs of the materials-joining and metal-forming industries and incorporates input from over 400 companies across every major manufacturing segment in the U.S.
A new EWI report, Developing a U.S. Roadmap for Advanced Joining and Forming Technologies, provides an overview of the methods used to create the roadmap, outlines key findings, and discusses EWI’s plans for addressing key technology growth areas through the creation of our “Grand Challenges” technical teams.
