The Youngstown Business Incubator is pleased to be selected as the site for the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII). Additive Manufacturing, also known as rapid prototyping or 3D printing, uses software to produce extremely complex parts by “adding” materials. NAMII is part of the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, a federal initiative to make the industry more globally competitive and increase exports.
