LIFT Off Webinar: Advancing Ceramics and Composites for U.S. Manufacturing

A C2MAX Discussion: Ceramics and Composites Manufacturing Acceleration Xchange

Scaling domestic production of ceramics and composites for defense applications requires progress on cost, production capacity, supply chains, and quality control. Join LIFT for a discussion of these manufacturing challenges, the opportunities presented by emerging technologies and automation, and where industry collaboration could make the greatest impact. Attendees will be invited to share their perspectives on priority needs across the defense industrial base and help identify opportunities for future collaboration.

Attendees will:

• Identify cost and production challenges affecting the scale-up of ceramic and composite manufacturing.

• Discuss supply-chain gaps and opportunities to strengthen domestic capabilities.

• Explore quality-control needs, including production consistency and repeatability.

• Examine emerging technologies and automation that could improve manufacturing performance.

• Provide input on the most pressing gaps and opportunities for joint action
