LIFT – Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow (Lightweight Innovations – materials and processes)
Abstract
LIFT develops American manufacturing technology and talent at the intersection of materials research, manufacturing processes, and systems engineering. LIFT’s technology pillars include Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), Computational Engineering, Agile and Smarter Manufacturing, Advanced alloy and Process Development, and Multi-materials Joining. In addition, LIFT is working across the education continuum to prepare the future advanced manufacturing workforce with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to use the technologies emerging from the institute. The goal is to catalyze the development of an advanced lightweight materials, a U.S. supplier base, and a workforce to enable DoD Warfighter systems and benefit commercial applications.
