AmeriCOM-American Center for Optics Manufacturing

AmeriCOM is partnering with industry, academia, nonprofits, and government to strengthen America’s precision optics manufacturing base and grow the optics workforce to secure our advanced manufacturing future.

At our research COM-Lab, and in collaboration with partners, we are developing advanced optics manufacturing technologies from research into sustainable manufacturing operations. Learn more at americom.org.

Across the nation, AmeriCOM is establishing training centers to expand the pipeline of skilled optics technicians entering the workforce. To raise awareness about the important role of optics technicians, we developed a national outreach program anchored by this dynamic website: TheFutureIsOptics.com.
