The MIT Center for Additive and Digital Advanced Production Technologies (ADAPT) aims to accelerate the implementation of AM and to invent its future. As such, ADAPT convenes its members and MIT experts with a mission to: perform visionary research, continually and critically assess the status of AM technology, develop model-based decision tools and open strategic frameworks, build a vibrant academic-industry network including MIT students, and accelerate critical AM education initiatives for professional audiences. Taken together, these activities enable ADAPT’s members to implement process, product, and business model innovation and to leverage AM in tandem with the rapidly changing digital manufacturing infrastructure that includes robotics, advanced materials, and computational intelligence.
