Production Center for Breakthrough Technology
BOSTON--April 4, 2000--UniStates Technology Corporation and the Tufts University College of Engineering announced plans today to install a development facility for Reflexive Materials Technology(TM) (RMT(TM)) in the engineering laboratories on the Tufts campus in Medford, Massachusetts. RMT is a breakthrough technology developed by UniStates that permits the production of a wide range of materials, products, and structures that are lighter yet stronger and less costly to produce. RMT is expected to have a major impact on the aerospace, automotive, electronics, construction, and other basic industries.The RMT Development Facility at Tufts will have the capacity to generate limited quantities of diverse commercial RMT products, fabricated primarily from metals and plastics, for industry and government testing and evaluation. The Tufts facility will be complemented by a full-scale commercial manufacturing facility that UniStates plans to establish nearby to manufacture larger volumes of commercial RMT products for industry and government field testing in various applications and markets. The RMT Manufacturing Facility will use conventional manufacturing technology.
UniStates will invite potential industry and government users from around the world to identify their most critical product applications for RMT. UniStates and Tufts engineers will work with them at the RMT Production Center to design, manufacture, and test RMT-engineered products to meet their specifications for these critical applications. UniStates and Tufts engineers also will work with them to design and engineer manufacturing systems and facilities for commercial scale production of these RMT-engineered products, using RMT2000(TM) CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM software.
Dr. Charalabos C. Doumanidis, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tufts, designed the RMT production facilities. Dr. Doumanidis is taking a yearlong sabbatical, beginning in May, to install the facilities, which he will continue to manage. Professor Doumanidis holds his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A complete description of the RMT Production Center and a full explanation of RMT in layman's language, is available on the UniStates Website at http://unistates.com/rmt.
