VT_CIbM Center for Innovation-based Manufacturing at Virginia Tech

The CIbM is a multi-disciplinary center formed to solve current manufacturing issues and help the university commercialize new technologies. The innovation based manufacturing goal is to boost the commercialization potential of basic research that is currently constrained by the lack of adequate processes and systems and provide new tools to improve current processes. In order to achieve this goal

, new pedagogical research in innovation principles related specifically to manufacturing is needed. The proposed center will focus on the development of new innovation methodologies and their application to challenging manufacturability problems across multiple areas such as renewable energies, micro- and nano-manufacturing, medical devices, etc. CIbM is actively working on the definition of the manufacturing of the future and the future of manufacturing.
