The Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI) has opened a new national headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the University of Tennessee’s Research Park at Cherokee Farm. The new facility is co-located with the University of Tennessee’s Fibers and Composites Manufacturing Facility (FCMF), a 44,000 square-foot laboratory that will serve as a hub for advanced composites and manufacturing. IACMI is a US-based organization established in 2015 with a mission to secure US global leadership in advanced manufacturing. The new headquarters will provide a space for public-private partnerships, research, commercialization, and workforce training to strengthen US competitiveness. The facility is equipped with cutting-edge equipment, including a Michelman Sizing line, high-speed Wabash compression presses, and an automated tape placement system. The facility will also serve as a training hub for students, industry professionals, and educators, offering hands-on learning experiences in advanced composites and manufacturing. The goal is to develop a skilled workforce that can meet the growing demand in advanced manufacturing industries.
