Ethyl, a mechanical engineering graduate student, is composing a research paper for her Metrology for Precision Manufacturing class. As she writes about abrasive jet finishing, she struggles to find manufacturing technology papers on ambiguous terms like material removal, surface integrity, and polishing tools. Fortunately, she has downloaded AMT’s app that sits inside Microsoft Word.

Designed to streamline research efforts for graduate students, the AMT Research add-in allows the user to explore articles from research bodies such as NIST, NASA, CIRP, and NSF — all from the comfort of a Word document. The data that AMT receives on the back end provides insight on trends in academia. This insight helps AMT provide member companies with updates on new developments and priorities in the academic side of manufacturing technology. 

Academics can download the add-in for free by visiting the Microsoft AppSource store (http://bit.ly/AMTResearch). After downloading, the user can type in or right click terms and gain direct access to cutting-edge research. Papers include industrial additive manufacturing, CNC machining, materials science, industrial cybersecurity, and more. The add-in is powered by AMT’s research aggregate Tech Trends.

Stay tuned for more great things for academia!
