LIFT, the Department of Defense-supported national advanced-materials manufacturing innovation institute, has officially opened its state-of-the-art Advanced Metallic Production and Processing (AMPP) Center in Detroit’s historic Corktown district. The facility will work to strengthen the U.S. industrial base by accelerating the design, development and deployment of novel metallic materials, filling a key gap in the nation’s defense-manufacturing base. 

Key capabilities of the AMPP Center

• Low- to medium-volume material production 

•  Accelerated material delivery and availability 

•  Toll processing and contract manufacturing 

•  Domestic production through a nonprofit public-private partnership.

By producing metals across all alloy classes and processing metal powder, wire and rod feedstocks, the AMPP Center will work to accelerate materials development, including the rapid advancement of materials for additive manufacturing.  It also will serve as a hub for collaboration between LIFT’s nearly 400-member network and key industry stakeholders, including OEMs, systems manufacturers, materials producers and developers, application developers and part manufacturers, and academia and startups.
