CMI Affiliates

CMI Affiliates pay a membership fee, based on the length of time and the organization size and type, and sign a membership agreement. 

CMI harnesses the scientific and engineering expertise of national laboratories and universities to American know-how in manufacturing. With dozens of partners, we discover the materials, processes, and technologies necessary to address critical material supply chain challenges.

CMI Affiliates are companies and organizations interested in being informed about CMI research outcomes and providing input to CMI on a continuing basis.
