Institute #6 - Revolutionary Fibers and Textiles Manufacturing Innovation Institute
Abstract
The RFT-MII will address the spectrum of manufacturing challenges associated with revolutionary fibers and textiles, from design to end products. It will support an end-to-end innovation 'ecosystem' in the U.S. for revolutionary fibers and textiles manufacturing and leverage domestic manufacturing facilities to develop and scale-up manufacturing processes. The RFT-MII will provide innovative system demonstrations based on robust design and simulation tools, pilot production facilities, a roster of subject matter experts, suppliers, and workforce development opportunities through targeted training and curriculum programs. This MII will be established in early 2016, with cooperative agreement funds programmed in this budget through FY 2020.
