Manufacturing Consulting

The Advanced Manufacturing Sciences Institute (AMSI) at Metropolitan State University of Denver provides expert manufacturing consulting and advanced lab capabilities to help organizations modernize operations, improve quality, and bring products to market efficiently. We combine hands-on engineering expertise with advanced manufacturing technologies to support product development from concept to production.

Industry 4.0 Digital Transformation

AMSI helps manufacturers adopt smart, connected technologies to improve visibility, efficiency, and decision-making. Our Industry 4.0 consulting focuses on digital workflows, data-driven manufacturing, automation readiness, and process integration. We guide organizations through practical digital transformation strategies that improve productivity while aligning with existing operations and workforce capabilities.

Lean Six Sigma and Process Optimization

We apply Lean Six Sigma principles to eliminate waste, reduce variation, and improve overall process performance. AMSI supports continuous improvement initiatives through process analysis, value stream mapping, root cause analysis, and performance metrics. Our approach delivers measurable improvements in quality, throughput, cost reduction, and operational consistency.

Design for Manufacturing

Effective products start with manufacturable designs. AMSI provides Design for Manufacturing (DFM) expertise to ensure products are optimized for cost, quality, and scalability. We support product and prototype design using CAD tools such as SolidWorks and Fusion 360, helping clients reduce complexity, improve tolerances, and streamline production before costly issues arise.

Precision Measurement, Test and Engineering

Accurate measurement and validation are critical to quality manufacturing. AMSI offers precision measurement, inspection, and test engineering services to ensure products meet specifications and performance requirements. Our capabilities include GD&T interpretation, custom gage design, precision measurement, and quality testing, supporting both prototype validation and production readiness.

Integrated Lab Capabilities

AMSI’s consulting services are supported by advanced in-house manufacturing and testing capabilities, including CNC Machining and Additive Manufacturing, Reverse Engineering and 3D Scanning, Measurement, Inspection, and Testing, and Prototype Build and Assembly. This integrated model allows AMSI to move seamlessly from analysis and design to hands-on validation and production support.
