Consortium with YSU gets $495K grant to aid additive manufacturing

YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, announced a $495,910 federal grant for the Consortium for Advanced Hybrid Manufacturing-Integrating Technologies.

The consortium, which was established with the assistance of Youngstown State University and North Carolina State University, will be the first to develop a comprehensive road map for integrating additive and subtractive metal manufacturing technologies in order to accelerate the adoption of the technology.

This combined method is more commonly referred to as “hybrid manufacturing.”

“YSU continues to be a leader in the field of advanced manufacturing, and together with YBI and America Makes they have made Youngstown the focal point of this emerging and transformational technology,” Ryan said in a news release.
