About the Event:
Dr. Habib Dagher will provide an overview of the 55,000 ft2 GEM Factory of the Future currently under construction at UMaine. The facility will usher in a new era for smart manufacturing research and training. It will be used to scale-up the production of 3D printed homes and boats, and train the workforce to operate such new factories. The facility will develop convergent manufacturing methods that bring together multiple manufacturing processes, digital twins, sensors, and AI to produce “born certified” systems.
