Welcome to Project DIAMOnD: Distributed, Independent, Agile Manufacturing on Demand. We're not just building the future—we're shaping it. The most significant effort of its kind, Automation Alley, with funding support from Oakland County, Michigan, created Project DIAMOnD to empower manufacturers with state-of-the-art 3D printing. Gain unprecedented access to training and network resources. Join us in creating the world's largest additive manufacturing ecosystem. Secure, scalable and traceable, Project DIAMOnD is taking small- and medium-sized manufacturers to the next level.
Apply NowThe mission of Project DIAMOnD is to make scaled manufacturing—additive-first, IP-focused, and AI-driven—an accessible reality for all by building a decentralized production network to enable small businesses, consumers, communities, governments, academia, defense, and industry partners so that we create sustainable prosperity, resilient supply chains, national security, and new pathways to middle-class opportunity.
We achieve this with a team made up of innovative, mission-driven, forward-thinking, and community-minded leaders aligned with Automation Alley’s vision of wealth, equality, and prosperity through technology—differentiated by our unique governance structure, diverse cross-sector partnerships, and holistic view of advanced technologies and their societal impact.
Project DIAMOnD manufacturers have the capabilities, expertise and support of the entire network to produce a variety of high-quality products. The network enables manufacturers to link together to fulfill larger orders at competitive prices with a diverse and flexible supply chain.
Project DIAMOnD has spurred the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies across Michigan’s manufacturing landscape, in a variety of industries. This has led to the largest open, distributed and decentralized marketplace in the country, with a focus on quality, efficiency, and flexibility.
