Anyone around the world can access the facilities at the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI). Whether you're part of the Georgia Tech community or not, you can easily join and gain access by following a few simple steps. Accessing the AMPF External Users External users are researchers who have no affiliation with Georgia Tech. This includes researchers from institutions other than Georgia Tech, government labs, and industry. For inquires, please fill out the AMPF request form. Once we have received and processed your information, you will receive further instructions from our staff. Internal Users Internal users are researchers who are affiliated with Georgia Tech. To get started, users must first join the appropriate facilities equipment group in the GT Shared User Management System (SUMS) and then complete orientation. All prospective users of the AMPF facilities and equipment are required to attend a new user orientation. This training will cover policies, laboratory safety and procedures for tool operation. After attending an orientation and completing the prerequisite training, users will be granted access to AMPF facilities and equipment associated with the training. Please be advised that some of the AMPF equipment requires extensive training and specific safety considerations. The complex machine tools and the metal 3D printers will require certified technician’s assistance. Scheduling time on these tools will be pending the staff’s availability.
