TheFutureofNext-GenComposites
Center to enable cutting-edge research, validation and acceleration of aerospace materials, structures, software and production.
ADVANCEDCOMPOSITESCENTER
The center will have
• demonstrator-capable manufacturing floor (16,000 Sq ft space)
• classroom and presentation space, • research and grad-student space, • fully-equipped conference room, • Shared industry user offices• Technicians and Admin offices• Startdate:Fall2020
Leverages PNW strengths
> University and Industry Collaborations: (e.g., BARC: machine learning, materials, and process control efforts for composites processing)
> AMTAS Center: evaluation, certification (with links to NIAR + WSU, Florida International U., Edmonds Community College, U. of Utah)
> Faculty Expertise in composites: Existing efforts: AMTAS, BARC, New hires in ME, MSE, AA
> New funding: Money from state clean-energy funds for AFP system
