  1. Advanced Manufacturing OfficeU.S. Department of Energy Meeting of the Interagency Network of Enterprise Assistance Providers (INEAP) June 27, 2012 Dr. Leo Christodoulou Program Manager, AMO

  2. Strategy • Identify timely, high-impact, foundational clean energy technologies with the potential to transform energy use and accelerate their introduction into the US economy • Invest in competitively-selected, cost-shared Projectsto support innovative manufacturing processesand next-generation materials manufacturing for clean energy and energy efficiency industry • Innovative Manufacturing Initiative: 672 small (<500 employees) companies of 859 total industry-led teams • Establish Manufacturing Demonstration (User) Facilities to reduce barriers to exploration of new ideas • Engage with industry and other stakeholders to create a robust and scalable Technology Deployment program for existing technologies • Measurement and Verification • Information Sharing • Training

  3. Virtual, model-driven library: e.g. foundries, chemicals Advanced Manufacturing Technologies: e.g. Additive Manufacturing Legacy Manufacturing Technologies: e.g. melding, joining, welding Design Capabilities Characterization e.g. testing and validation, prognosis, shared quality control technologies Manufacturing Demonstration Facilities (MDFs) Two pathways through the MDF INPUT: New Processes, techniques, tools, capabilities and other production enabling innovations and technologies • OUTPUT: Business case for manufacturing new materials or products: • Production rate • Processes established • Partners Identified • Risks identified • Cost estimates based on production data • The case for commercialization INPUT: Innovations and ideas for the creating new materials or products Manufacturing Demonstration Facility Process control / metrology OUTPUT: Equipment sales, control systems, robotics, services and other production enabling products Innovative material or product to market Existing Supply Chains

  4. Program goal is to reduce the cost of carbon fiber composites by improved manufacturing techniques such as MAP, which if scaled successfully could reduce carbonization cost by about half compared to conventional methodology. Program goal is to accelerate the manufacturing capability of a multitude of AM technologies utilizing various materials from metals to polymers to composites. MDF Example: Oak Ridge National Laboratory Additive Manufacturing Carbon Fiber Exit end of Microwave Assisted Plasma (MAP) process, jointly developed by ORNL and Dow POM laser processing AM equipment Arcam electron beam processing AM equipment

  5. Closing Remarks We are Partners. How can work together to help businesses and entrepreneurs succeed?
