A Network of Leaders
We bring together global companies, universities, and public agencies to accelerate the future of advanced manufacturing.
Powering Innovation Through Collaboration
Our strength is in our people, our focus is driven by our members.
CCAM’s member-driven model creates a dynamic environment where organizations engage in high-impact research, access advanced technologies, and connect with expert engineers and faculty. For an annual fee, members gain access to state-of-the-art equipment, a collaborative R&D ecosystem, and the opportunity to drive both directed and shared research efforts.
Working together, our members benefit from economies of scale, a secure and IP-friendly environment, and a cross-sector platform where industry, academia, and government jointly develop solutions for complex manufacturing challenges.
Research Members
Our Research Members are global innovators advancing critical manufacturing technologies. They lead individual and collaborative R&D projects across sectors such as aerospace, energy, healthcare, mobility, and automation.
At CCAM, these members leverage cutting-edge facilities and a world-class technical team to accelerate the deployment of next-generation production systems.
Technology Members
Technology Members specialize in tools, platforms and solutions that enable the future of manufacturing.
Through CCAM, they test and demonstrate their technologies in real-world applications, accelerate adoptions, and connect with R&D partners from industry, academia and government.
Academic Members
Our Academic Members are nationally recognized engineering schools that play a foundational role in CCAM’s mission. These institutions contribute advanced research expertise and help develop the next generation of manufacturing leaders through hands-on, interdisciplinary learning.
Together, we align innovation with education to strengthen the advanced manufacturing workforce.
