| Abstract Scope |
Since the 2019 TMS science and technology accelerator study on Metamorphic Manufacturing (MM), there have been many related efforts that can help accelerate the development and adoption of this potentially revolutionary manufacturing technology. After providing some brief background on the 2019 TMS MM accelerator study, this talk will briefly describe a few of these efforts to which TMS is connected, and discuss how they are related to MM. These activities include: (1) this TMS Specialty Congress 2024 event on Digital & Robotic Forming, (2) a new TMS accelerator study undertaken on behalf of the Office of Naval Research on A Revolution in Digital Manufacturing: Integration of Manufacturing Machines, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Forming Technologies, and (3) a relatively new National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) on Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution (HAMMER), which is led by The Ohio State University. |
