Welcome to the Center for Advanced Manufacturing

At the Center for Advanced Manufacturing, we believe that industrial development is vital to the economic health of our state. Our mission is to bridge basic academic research with specific industrial needs to enhance both the understanding and application of manufacturing issues in Indiana.

We serve as the central point of contact at Purdue University on a wide range of manufacturing issues, linking existing and emerging businesses with researchers on campus. We also help attract new businesses to Indiana, creating more opportunities for Hoosiers. Our faculty members collaborate within and across disciplines, assisting industrial clients and furthering general knowledge in their fields.
