Additive Manufacturing a potential opportunity for Argonne?

. Two existing LDRD projects – Metal “printing” (laser anneal) at APS – Polymer printing with SIS step . Should we add theory/modeling? . Have all three teams talk… . Visited Chicago 3D printing company Sciaky / talked to Fraunhofer . LUX reports on 3 D printing / LUX Research to interview modeling company

PROGRAM OVERVIEW ANDREAS ROELOFS

7/20/2016 CRI – INCUBATOR AT ARGONNE

. Developing energy technologies, greener manufacturing processes or advanced materials requires: – Patient capital – Access to diverse expertise, complex tools and facilities – Sufficient development time

Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) and Argonne National Laboratory created a new innovation accelerator program for technology entrepreneurs called Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI).

11 A HIGH-TECH ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO SCALE

. First time entrepreneurs to be embedded in a national laboratory in the Midwest. . Gives innovators financial and technical support to mature energy and science products to the proof-of-concept level where they can launch into the marketplace and access conventional sources of financial support to scale.
