The Modular Pilot Scale Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing Facility at Georgia Tech is a state-of-the-art research and development space within the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI). This facility is designed to support the scale-up of manufacturing innovations, making it accessible to academic, government, and industry partners worldwide.

Equipped with advanced roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing technologies, the facility transforms flexible substrate materials, such as paper, metal foils, and plastics, into complex, transportable rolls by coating them with various fluids like inks and solutions. These materials are then dried or cured to achieve the desired properties.

Key capabilities of the facility include:

• Flexible Electronics: Developing and scaling up the production of flexible electronic devices.
• Clean Water Technologies: Innovating and manufacturing advanced filtration and purification systems.
• Solar Cells and Batteries: Enhancing the production processes for renewable energy solutions.
• Material Coating and Deposition: Applying precise coatings to substrates for various industrial applications.

This facility serves as a testbed for proving advanced manufacturing techniques beyond lab-scale studies, facilitating the transition from basic research to commercialization. It plays a crucial role in advancing research, reducing costs, and increasing accessibility to cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. To learn more, please contact gtmi@gatech.edu.
