Why NNMI, Why America Makes?
The foundation is laid – in March 2012, the formation of a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) was proposed and America Makes (National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute) was launched in August as the initial Institute of Manufacturing Innovation (IMI).
The vision is simple – leverage our nation’s brilliant technical minds in all corners of government, industry and academia to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies in the U.S. manufacturing sector and increase domestic manufacturing competitiveness.
The goal is bold – create truly collaborative environments to bring technology advancements from the lab to the factory floor, create jobs, produce more competitive products, and ultimately reaffirm our place in the global market.

How We Approach InnovationProject Funding – We competitively award projects to members using public and private funds, addressing prioritized topics on our member-driven technology roadmap.
Our Vast Network – We act as a connector and facilitator between all of our members. Everyone has a seat at the table to contribute and collaborate with us and one another.
Workforce Readiness – Training and educational outreach is a priority for the institute. Every Public/private funded project requires an educational outreach component. Technology Transition – We make it real. Every public/private funded project requires a pilot transition component.

Our approach to IP
CONSERVE INTEGRATE TRANSITION
You Own Your IP – You will own both pre-existing IP and any you develop through consortium effort.
We Provide Protection – We have a membership agreement in place that is designed to protect your interests by ensuring that all participants play by the same set of rules.
Increase Chances of IP Adoption – We facilitate IP transition through our project-based approach and expansive network that represents multiple industries, markets, and stakeholders.
All Consortium Developed IP is owned
by the inventing organizations–
We help to conserve, integrate, and transition.
