Under the terms of the MOU, the university intends to host a 1,200-square-foot office facility that will provide SMMs with collaborative access to software, hardware and training associated with digital manufacturing and modeling, simulation and visualization technology.
The facility is scheduled to open in LTU’s General Services Building at 21301 Civic Center Drive in Southfield during the first quarter of 2014.
