NIST engineers and scientists are developing many of the tools for automated intelligent-processing systems that will soon be the core of all world-class manufacturing operations. These components include intelligent machines; advanced sensors for real-time in-process measurements; software for precision control of machine tools; and information technology for integrating all elements of a product’s life cycle, from planning and design through marketing and customer support.
The Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory provides technical support for industry groups that develop standards for measurements, measurement techniques, hardware, software, and data interfaces. It operates the National Advanced Manufacturing Testbed, a unique national resource for study of advanced infrastructure technologies required to support future manufacturing operations at both the systems and equipment levels. Laboratory researchers also work at the forefront of the emerging field of nanofabrication, developing measurements tools for atomic-scale production technologies of the future.
Laboratory staff members work closely with their industry counterparts, from the planning of research projects to the dissemination of results.
