Recently, EWI led the development of the first comprehensive U.S. Advanced Joining and Forming Technology Roadmap under a program funded by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) program. The goal of this two-year effort was to develop a prioritized list of research and development topics aimed at increasing the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.
The roadmap provides a national perspective on the technical and economic needs of the materials-joining and metal-forming industries and incorporates input from over 400 companies across every major manufacturing segment in the U.S.

Join us in Detroit to learn more about the roadmap and the challenges facing U.S. manufacturing. For questions, contact Beth at bsharb@ewi.org.
