We are committed to helping companies develop and commercialize their micro products. In addition, we are continually improving, developing and adding new technologies that enable our customer to build their parts quickly and cost-effectively. We fully support the latest Government report related to Advanced Manufacturing that includes the following definition of Advanced Manufacturing:
According to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology Report to the President on Ensuring American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing:
Advanced Manufacturing is “a family of activities that (a) depend on the use and coordination of information, automation, computation, software, sensing, and networking, and/or (b) make use of cutting edge materials and emerging capabilities enabled by the physical and biological sciences, for example nanotechnology, chemistry, and biology. This involves both new ways to manufacture existing products, and especially the manufacture of new products emerging from new advanced technologies.”
In addition, according to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology Report to the President on Capturing Domestic Competitive Advantage in Advanced Manufacturing:
Advanced Manufacturing is not limited to emerging technologies; rather, it is composed of efficient, productive, highly integrated, tightly controlled processes across a spectrum of globally competitive U.S. manufacturers and suppliers. For advanced manufacturing to accelerate and thrive in the United States, it will require the active participation of communities, educators, workers, and businesses, as well as Federal, State, and local governments.
