The McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) is a major[1] manufacturing research facility affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
The institute opened in 2001,[citation needed] and the director of the institute, Dr. Stephen Veldhuis, is an endowed research chair.[2] The MMRI is known for high-quality services, adaptability, and visual content. As a member of SONAMI (the Southern Ontario Network for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation) along with centers at Niagara College, Mohawk College, and Sheridan College[3] the MMRI is well connected to industry, as well as a TDS site for OCI's SME initiatives.
In 2020, after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic became known, the MMRI collaborated with Hamilton Health Sciences to develop face shields and help with other types of PPE manufacturing.[4][5]
The MMRI is home to multiple laboratories, including their most known, MSL (Machine System Laboratory) and MPAL (Material Property Assessment Laboratory).
