Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center

The Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center (formerly RCBI) encourages job creation, economic development, innovation and entrepreneurship by supporting manufacturing companies of all sizes. We offer leading-edge equipment use and specialized training for everyone from sole proprietors to Fortune 500 companies.

Simply put, our goal is to use our Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers across West Virginia to provide the resources that individuals and companies need to create, sustain, and expand their businesses. In addition to providing leased use of high-tech equipment, workforce development programs, Quality Management Implementation, and customized workforce training, the center assists companies in electronic networking and procurement – particularly with federal contracts.

The technologies available at the Advanced Manufacturing Center are among the best in the world, providing companies across the Mid-Atlantic region services that would not otherwise be readily available to them. In particular, we offer Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology with 3D Printers through its Design Works labs and is a national Center of Excellence for composite materials providing support to NASA engineers as well as first-tier Department of Defense suppliers in West Virginia. These activities help ensure that the center fulfills its mission of developing a quality, just-in-time supplier base for the Department of Defense as well as other agencies and the commercial sector.

We offer solutions to industry and individuals and serve more than 300 companies and train 800-plus individuals per year…with plans to continue to scale to help manufacturers grow.
