The Center offers great value through driving efficiencies into the intricate manufacturing and machining processes required to build such sophisticated products. It works with U.S. government and military contracted suppliers of discrete parts and services to apply those efficiencies effectively.

iMechanica is the site of an open community which uses "the Internet to enhance communication among mechanicians" while creating an online repository for "all knowledge of mechanics." It is hosted by Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. While iMechanica focuses on physics and science, it also serves engineers and mechanics. This is a great resource from one of the great repositories of knowledge in the world.

An online marketplace of ideas and solutions. Visitors are either a "seeker" (a company or entity in search of a solution to a challenge) or a solver (a company, entity or person that offers a solution to a challenge submitted by a seeker). Seekers pay solvers for solutions that work for them. Challenges are listed in 4 categories by matter of complexity—one challenge resembles an online brainstorming session, others require greater levels of detail, sophistication and specificity to "solve."

This is the online component of SolidWorks’ R&D division, and it offers access to utilities, widgets and other developments that haven’t as yet been released to the general public. Contains much interesting manufacturing research and information.

Extensive megalisting of links of interest to engineers.
