The Phase 1 IACMI Preliminary Technology Roadmap was presented at the January 2016 Membership Meeting. IACMI is now in Phase 2 of roadmapping and is hosting workshops on March 23-24, 2016 in Knoxville, TN and May 10-11, 2016 in Detroit, Michigan.
These will be professionally facilitated discussions focused on accelerating the development and adoption of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies that lower the cost and energy required to produce advanced polymer composites while increasing their recyclability. The purpose of these two workshops will be to delve into the details of sub-topics that concern IACMI.
Topics for the March Meeting:
Recycling
Design, Prototyping and Validation
Modeling and Simulation
Reinforcements, Resins, Additives and Intermediates
Additional details will follow once your attendance has been confirmed. Please note that to manage the size of the workshop, we are limiting participation to one person per organization. Charter Members may bring 3 employees and Premium Members may bring 2 employees.
Before the workshop, you will receive a detailed program that includes background materials and additional information about the meeting.
If you have questions/comments about the roadmapping process, please contact any of us.
For information about logistics, travel/hotel or related information, please contact Jillian Hill, IACMI (jhill@iacmi.org).
In the meantime, we are seeking your input in the timelines of technical activities and milestones developed in the Phase 1 Preliminary Technology Roadmap which will be available on the IACMI website by February 15, 2016.
The results will be used to guide discussions at the upcoming roadmapping timelines by taking IACMI's technical roadmapping survey.
