The American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute, Canton, Mich., is focused on the application of innovative lightweight metal production and component manufacturing technologies. “AFS will champion the role of the metalcasting industry as a key metals manufacturing sector in this effort,” said Prucha. AFS and the metalcasting industry also will be involved in other hubs of the national manufacturing innovation network. See page 86 for more information.
