I want to thank you on behalf of Barnes Aerospace for the laser cladding studies performed at CCAT. The studies provided Barnes Aerospace with enough evidence to invest in Laser Cladding equipment. Additionally, we very much appreciate your guidance, suggestions and comments during our equipment assessment meeting you participated in at one of our Connecticut divisions. I am quite certain we would have gone down a less rewarding path without your guidance.

Allan Dygon, Director of Engineering, Barnes Aerospace

Produced two excellent parts for us, using the ProJet 5500X which is a unique capability only accessible thanks to CCAT. The fact that CCAT can work with student SolidWorks files which are not always the highest quality is greatly appreciated.

Allan Penda, Adjunct Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Hartford

I greatly appreciate the quality support given to University of Hartford student projects and look forward to working in the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 projects. Already have a project that will need CCAT's expertise in 3D printing using the ProJet 5500X.

Allan Penda, Adjunct Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

The Technical Assessment highlighted opportunities for improvement that will help my company be more competitive and grow.

The turnaround was great. I couldn't be happier with my parts and the service they provided! Special thanks to the CCAT team for working so hard to ensure my project moved along as quickly as possible.

Erik Herold, Lead Mechanical Engineer, Dynamo Micropower

Not only do they have access to the latest technology and manufacturing processes but also have the technical staff to help figure out what it is you actually need.

Erik Herold, Lead Mechanical Engineer, Dynamo Micropower

It's thanks to the initial grant funding and the encouragement of the CCAT staff that we were able to push through the early challenges and deliver our award-winning GPS Pro to market. The resources available to us as part of the CCAT Incubator Program have enabled us to move out of the basement and into a real office.

John Cunningham, CEO & president of Bad Elf

CCAT has helped to address critical workforce development issues through the Advanced Manufacturing Employer Partnership (AMEP) . They have designed programs to assist manufacturers in the hiring of lower skilled job seekers and have implemented a wage subsidy program to mitigate employer costs associated with on-the-job training. This type of program is critical to building the manufacturing talent pipeline for our industry’s future.

Mark DiLorenzo, President, Phoenix Manufacturing

The Technical Assessment process CCAT conducted has allowed our organization to clearly identify the key points that will allow us to run more lean and efficient by highlighting improvement areas in our process.

Michael C. Malota, CFO, Windmade Products, LLC

CCAT made it possible to translate a complex part design with detailed features into a complete and toleranced part design drawing. CCAT then developed the multi-pass and multi-sided manufacturing process, and machined the part within tolerance. I found the people at CCAT to be knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The CCAT AMC team took a preliminary idea from a starting CAD file to a fully documented project and delivered a fabricated part that works. A really great job."
