Purpose of the NEO AM Cluster

The purpose of the NEO AM Cluster, which began as a study called the Asset Map of Additive Manufacturing Opportunities in Northeast Ohio (Asset Map), is to create a clear vision for the integration of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) supply chain in northeast Ohio. A primary component of this vision is the ability to capitalize on the technology advancements being generated by America Makes, the national accelerator for AM and 3D printing (3DP).

Vision

By 2023, Northeast Ohio will be recognized as a leader in:

• Design and engineering for additive manufacturing
• Using additive manufacturing for productivity enhancements
• AM entrepreneurial investment and growth
• AM materials innovation
• Attraction of significant investment related to the core activities of America Makes​

Objectives

In late 2015, the project team began the process of road mapping the regional commercialization landscape to identify AM opportunities that include:

• Maximizing ongoing AM research and development
• Generating new industry applications of AM
• Stimulating regional entrepreneurial activity
• Driving business and economic growth throughout the northeast Ohio AM supply chain​​
