(NIST: Gaithersburg, MD) -- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office has launched a new industry-facing website, ManufacturingUSA.com. In September 2016, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker announced Manufacturing USA, the new public name for the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation. ManufacturingUSA.com will serve as a key resource—a destination for learning about technology innovations, upcoming events, and industry news coming from the Manufacturing USA institutes.

The site provides a platform to:
• Highlight the impact that the institutes and the Manufacturing USA partners are making on U.S. manufacturing
• Inform potential new members about how to participate and engage in the program
• Highlight the unique offerings of each institute
• Continue to educate the manufacturing industry on the opportunities available through Manufacturing USA

The updated website provides examples of how the Manufacturing USA institutes are working to move promising, early-stage research in their specific technology areas into proven capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers.
