The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) is an Ann Arbor, MI based not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation established in 1986 to bring innovations out of the exploratory phase and into commercial implementation. Through the development of collaborative partnerships to address strategic issues, NCMS accomplishes this goal more quickly, at lower cost, and with fewer risks than going it alone.
NCMS leverages the resources and infrastructure of each participant to arrive at solutions that improve the competitive standing of our manufacturing base. In addition, NCMS elevates the national
...awareness and importance of the manufacturing sector to the overall health of the economy and the nation’s standard of living. It was the first and is still the only cross-sector consortium that is addressing the competitiveness of the nation’s manufacturers.
NCMS works closely with federal agencies, leading OEM’s, entrepreneurial technology companies, and SME’s in all industrial sectors. Both industry and government agencies reach out to NCMS and our cross-industry network of members to ensure that their new technology efforts are focused on real-world applications with inherent and immediate viability. We serve as a “trusted third party” for these groups in order to accomplish their research and development goals.
Recognized for collaboration, product development, and sustainability, NCMS offers the cutting edge programs and approaches that will drive the success and innovation of manufacturing and technological research and development well into the 21st Century.
