Colibrium Additive, a GE Aerospace company, has embedded two full-time engineers into everyday operations at Purdue Applied Research Institute’s (PARI) Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center.

This arrangement, which leverages Colibrium Additive’s technical expertise with PARI’s innovative research portfolio, aims to provide a new framework for university-industry collaboration.

David Bretz, PARI’s senior project manager for this effort, said this on-site support from Colibrium Additive (formerly GE Additive) helps researchers to more efficiently produce novel hypersonic technologies that transition to the defense industry.
