We are proud to be part of the coalition behind NEO-SMART, a regional effort awarded up to $160M annually by the @NSF to advance manufacturing innovation, strengthen workforce, and create new opportunities across Northeast Ohio.
📣Just announced! @OhioState professor Glenn @Daehn, in concert with @NSF HAMMER, will help the team's mission to understand how materials apply to next-generation #quantum technologies by focusing on the codesign of products and #manufacturing processes.

Cast it. Test it. Win it. Cast in Steel showcases the next generation of metal casters turning design, teamwork, and steel into something extraordinary. Watch the premiere July 9 at 8 p.m. Eastern on YouTube: youtube.com/@CastinSteel #CastInSteel
When Jacob's team lacked forging resources, they built their own machine to get the job done. This mindset is in direct alignment with our existence - finding new manufacturing pathways based on the agility of artisans and reproducibility of machines.

Winnie Opoku was curious about theory of manufacturing & engineering. During her pursuit to earn her PhD, she immersed herself in education, industry and workforce development systems, which led her to work for @NSF HAMMER-ERC. Dr. Opoku is a superstar.
