Center for Additive Manufacture of Advanced Ceramics

In July 2021, UNC Charlotte was awarded a $1,250,000 grant by The University of North Carolina System Research Opportunities Initiative (ROI)* program to establish a Center for Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Ceramics (CAMAC). Based at UNC Charlotte, CAMAC brings together UNC System researchers, industry and government laboratories with the goal of driving innovation within the ceramics additive manufacturing (AM) process chain. The scope of the CAMAC includes three main AM pillars; 1) materials for ceramic AM, 2) advancing processing capabilities, and 3) enhancing post processing. Both existing and new resources will be utilized to enhance ceramic AM research infrastructure and to build a strong vibrant ceramic AM community.
