Third Cohort of Innovators Selected to Join Cyclotron Road
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office and Technology-to-Market Program recently announced the third cohort of innovators who will be joining Cyclotron Road in April and early May. Cyclotron Road, through Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, couples entrepreneurs from across the nation with the tools and expertise of Berkeley Lab to help develop cutting-edge new clean energy technologies.
Learn more about the ten innovators selected to join Cyclotron Road’s third cohort.
Advanced Manufacturing Office Program Peer Review and Technical Resources Network Forum – June 13-15
The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), part of the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, will be conducting a Peer Review of its Program from June 13-15, 2017 in the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel in Arlington, VA. Performers in AMO’s Research and Development element will make presentations on their work. Presentations will also be provided on other elements of the Program. Leading technology experts from the industrial and academic sectors have been invited to review AMO's Program and provide their view on its effectiveness and impact.
View the Peer Review agenda and register as soon as possible, but by no later than June 2, 2017.

Digging In: Oak Ridge National Laboratory Creates World's First 3D Printed Excavator
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently created and revealed the world’s first 3D printed excavator, known as Project AME (Additive Manufactured Excavator). The project, which was funded by the Advanced Manufacturing Office, demonstrated the latest advancements in additive manufacturing by using three different 3D printing platforms, materials, and processes.
