Department of Defense can rely to fulfill
the Warfighter’s requirement
MIBP SPOTLIGHT
MIBP’s Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program will stand up two manufacturing innovation institutes that play a critical role in the Obama Administration’s national manufacturing agenda. The President outlined in his February State of the Union address his vision for a one-time $1 billion investment to create a network of 15 manufacturing innovation institutes across the country, called the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI). Each institute will serve as a regional hub designed to bridge the gap between research and product development, bringing together companies, universities and community colleges, and Federal agencies to co-invest in technology areas that encourage investment and production in the U.S.
The two new recently announced Institutes to be competitively awarded are Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation (DMDI), and Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation (LM3I). These will build off the initial success of the pilot institute headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio, called the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII)
