The Steel Manufacturing Simulation and Visualization Consortium (SMSVC) is a new and sustainable industry-led consortium which will be launched by the Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS) at Purdue University Northwest supported by more than 15 companies and other organizations.
This consortium is the result of a project to establish the nation-wide consortium and to develop a technology roadmap to benefit the American steel industry.
The project is funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMTech) Planning Grant.
WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR
COMPANIES SUPPORTING THE PROJECT
NIST PROJECT
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
-
Establish a new and sustainable industry-led steel manufacturing consortium that will focus on supporting the development of simulation and visualization technologies to address major technological issues and related barriers that inhibit the growth of advanced manufacturing in the steel industry.
-
Develop a technology roadmap to identify and prioritize relevant research projects that will advance steel manufacturing competitiveness across the steel manufacturing value chain.
THE CONSORTIUM IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR CHARTER MEMBER ENROLLMENT
Interested parties should contact Doreen M. Gonzalez-Gaboyan at steelconsortium@pnw.edu or call +1-219-989-2765. You can find examples of successful simulation and visualization projects online at http://centers.pnw.edu/civs.
