IACMI members, partners urged
to utilize Automated Tape Placement equipment
IACMI has enabled Automated Tape Placement (ATP) equipment in Knoxville, making it available for IACMI stakeholders and collaborator projects as well as broad workforce development efforts.
ATP is a family of manufacturing techniques, which refer to the precise laying of continuous fiber tapes to manufacture multi-layered composite products for high-performance applications.
Located at LeMond for enhanced industry collaboration, this technology contributes to significant integrated manufacturing capabilities in the East Tennessee region.

Join IACMI's Infrastructure & Construction Working Group
now that Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is law
The new $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is funneling billions to state and local governments to upgrade outdated roads and bridges.
Composites are well known for their lightweight, corrosion resistance, ease-of-installation, durability, and resilience, which make them ideal for construction and infrastructure applications.
However, market penetration relative to steel and concrete is very low.
Now is a great time to join IACMI's Infrastructure & Construction Working Group to keep you informed on how this latest funding is opening up opportunities and learn how members are removing barriers to adoption.

Got a cleantech startup?
IACMI partner NREL launches new Lab-Embedded
Entrepreneurship Program, West Gate
Every day, game-changing technologies are introduced that could more easily transition the world to a clean energy future. However, few entrepreneurs have the resources to develop promising new technologies into successful cleantech startups.
That's why the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) created the Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP).
Funded by EERE's Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), LEEP provides an institutional home for innovative researchers to build their R&D into products and train to be entrepreneurs.
The newest Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program, West Gate, is hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Applications are now open for Cohort 1!
