Collaborate

The AMPrint Center is a highly multi-disciplinary research center that features faculty and staff with expertise spanning process development, materials science, and application development. There are several ways to collaborate with the AMPrint Center.

New York State Companies

The AMPrint Center is partially supported by New York State to help grow the AM industry within the state. If your company has employees in New York State, then significant matching funds and resources may be available to help pay for collaborative research. AMPrint Center faculty and staff will work with you to help determine what resources are available.  

Grant Writing

AMPrint Center faculty and staff have decades of experience both writing grant proposals and serving as proposal reviewers for federal funding agencies.
