  Citing cost as the barrier to implementing the technology on a more widespread basis, Precision's vice president of engineering, Thomas Willis, said the company hopes to find ways to make the production more affordable.
  
  "Utilizing high-volume manufacturing technology concepts is the proven route to competitive costs," Willis said in a release.

  Thomas J. Willis, a Miamisburg businessman who is a private partner in the project, plans to use the machine for high-volume production of a component membrane used in one type of fuel cell.
  ...
  The center, using a $719,200 grant from the state's Third Frontier fuel cell program, organized and led the project that involved Willis' Precision Energy and Technology firm; Faraday Technology Inc., of Clayton; and Case Western Reserve University.The U.S. Department of Energy provided a $100,000 grant toward the $1.3 million project, which included private investment.
  
  The machine was developed in an area Willis leases from the University of Dayton Research Institute at the National Composite Center.
  
  It could make those proton exchange membrane fuel cells more affordable by more efficiently and rapidly producing the membrane exchange assemblies that generate electricity and are stacked in the fuel cells to increase their power output, Willis said.
  
  The exchange assemblies are supplied with hydrogen and oxygen.The membranes that the machine bonds together allow protons to pass through in the process that generates electricity, and gives off water vapor.
  
  At a membrane manufacturing symposium the Edison Materials Center sponsored last August, Willis said he was surprised when a Toyota official who learned of the machine's development expressed interest in buying one.Selling them isn't the first priority, he said."My real interest here is to move it into production before anything else," Willis said.
