UMaine debuts new center for 3D metal printing, WABI reports
WABI (Channel 5) reported a new center at the University of Maine is focusing on 3D printing of metal objects. The Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals (CAMM) is based in the Advanced Manufacturing Center. UMaine hopes CAMM will help the state stay up to speed with the rest of the Northeast in additive metal manufacturing, the report states. “We really want to help businesses understand the technology, learn about it, do workforce development, train students so then they go to work for Maine companies, and really help increase the capacity to be able to do this type of work here in the state of Maine,” said John Belding, director of AMC. CAMM recently won the “Innovator of the Year” award at the Manufacturers of Maine’s annual summit, according to WABI.
