More details of the AMPF below:
The Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) is a 20,000 square foot reconfigurable research and development high bay manufacturing facility in Midtown Atlanta supporting industrial, academic, and government stakeholders that also serves as a teaching laboratory. AMPF is a resource and key partner for SBIR/STTR development. Recently, Georgia Tech and the AMPF facility are supporting a statewide initiative that combines artificial intelligence and manufacturing innovations with transformational workforce and outreach programs.
As a flagship component of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI), AMPF is a special place where industry works alongside researchers and students to take early-stage concepts from idea to reality.
Made possible by a $3 million gift from the Delta Air Lines Foundation, this facility was intentionally designed as a flexible space that can house future manufacturing innovation technology roadmaps; collaborative projects of almost all shapes, from additive/hybrid manufacturing to composites, digital manufacturing/Industry 4.0, and industrial robotics. Similarly, the industry applications of these innovations are nearly endless; our industry partners range from aerospace and automotive companies to materials manufacturing companies. With each new project and innovation, AMPF is where the factory of the future is being envisioned and created.
Georgia Tech researchers are amplifying the AMPF mission, through development of industry research and demonstration projects; consortia projects; proof of concept initiatives; co-training with industry personnel on advanced manufacturing technologies and software; hosting symposia, workshops and roundtables; delivering presentations and papers, and participating in trade organizations, and development of new industry standards.
