The Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) is funded by the National Science Foundation. Its primary mission is to perform cutting-edge materials research. The center also provides support to industry through the NYSTAR-funded Industrial Partnerships Program. The program promotes technology transfer and economic development by offering to industry low-cost, timely and flexible access to world-leading materials experts (Cornell faculty members) and to state-of-the-art instruments, enabling product development as well as expansion to wider markets.

The ASRC Sensor Center of Advanced Technology (CAT) is a cost-share funding program supported by New York State through its NYSTAR division with the role of partnering with state industry in the development of new advanced technology. The Sensor CAT is located at CUNY’s Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) in West Harlem, Manhattan and is a hub for interdisciplinary research expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation. The CAT program fosters the design and co-funding of a research projects together with state industry, allowing access to ASRC as well as all CUNY campus labs and expertise. Sensor Technology is our new CAT’s theme which is supported in part by the ASRC’s Next-Generation Sensor Lab (NGENS).

At Dive, we help manufacturing/product companies alleviate supply chain, workforce, and labor issues through AM (3D Printing). Our process starts with a business/operation evaluation to see where AM could be implemented and what an ROI would look like based on specific solutions. We then use our design/engineering backgrounds to update or refine the processes/products to be 3D Printed (based on the type of printing). With a solution in place, we help to seamlessly integrate the new machines or aid in production to keep operations and cash flow running smoothly.
