OHIO MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE
OHIO MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE Ohio Manufacturing Institute (OMI) connects The Ohio State University’s technical expertise and resources to manufacturers to improve their design and manufacturing characteristics. OMI assists in providing quick and cost-effective mechanisms for applied engineering, development, testing, and manufacturing process support utilizing faculty, student, and researcher expertise.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
TRAINING AND SEMINARS
OMI serves as a “virtual R&D” resource for local manufacturers seeking technical support and advanced technology solutions to current and next-generation manufacturing issues.
OMI hosts technical training and seminars focused on the needs of Ohio manufacturers: • High-speed Forming • Solid Modeling Using CATIA v6 • Lightweight Vehicle Structures • Bulk Metallic Glass Forming, Including Thermoplastics
OMI facilitates access to Ohio State research facilities, faculty, and students, and has rapidly executable, nononsense contract agreements that make technical resources quickly available for manufacturing problem solving, or new technology assessment and development.
TECHNICAL FOCUS AREAS Ohio State is focused on multiple technologies within the broad scope of manufacturing. Technical strengths include: • Welding and Joining • Forming, Molding, and Machining • Additive Manufacturing • Process and Component Design
STUDENT SOLUTIONS OMI facilitates a unique co-located internship program in which students work for a company on a specific project and remain under the mentorship of university faculty. Students retain access to labs, equipment and other university resources for the duration of the internship.
