Advanced Manufacturing Center
The mission of the AMC program is to link
the traditional University of Maine activities of education and research
with the University's active industrial support and economic development
programs.
The Advanced Manufacturing Center is an engineering support and service center that is dedicated to promoting economic development in Maine, and supporting the research programs at the University of Maine.
The program was started at the University of Maine College of Engineering to provide a high-level technical resource that would be readily accessible to businesses, entrepreneurs, and researchers throughout Maine.
The AMC is centered on a distinctive "design-build" engineering approach to solving manufacturing problems and has experience working on design-build engineering projects in:
- Product development, prototyping, and commercialization
- Improvement of existing products and manufacturing methods
- Research support system design and integration
- Ongoing operational support and training
If you would like to view a few pieces of AMC equipment in action,
the video below documents the metamorphosis that occurs as a solid piece of round stock
makes the transition "From Stock to Shiny" and becomes a collet holder for the spindle of a
milling machine...
