TheFutureofNext-GenComposites

Center to enable cutting-edge research, validation and acceleration of aerospace materials, structures, software and production.

ADVANCEDCOMPOSITESCENTER

The center will have

• demonstrator-capable manufacturing floor (16,000 Sq ft space)

• classroom and presentation space, • research and grad-student space, • fully-equipped conference room, • Shared industry user offices• Technicians and Admin offices• Startdate:Fall2020

Leverages PNW strengths

> University and Industry Collaborations: (e.g., BARC: machine learning, materials, and process control efforts for composites processing)

> AMTAS Center: evaluation, certification (with links to NIAR + WSU, Florida International U., Edmonds Community College, U. of Utah)

> Faculty Expertise in composites: Existing efforts: AMTAS, BARC, New hires in ME, MSE, AA

> New funding: Money from state clean-energy funds for AFP system
