Advanced Machines, Monitoring, and Control for AM

Ongoing
Objective To develop, integrate, and implement real-time feedback and other cutting-edge process control techniques using advanced monitoring tools such as high-speed imaging and diffraction for single and multi-laser AM systems. Technical Idea The current methods for AM control predominantly rely...

Augmented Intelligence for Manufacturing Systems (AIMS)

Ongoing
Objective To overcome existing measurement challenges via augmented intelligence, the fusion of integrated metrology, physics-based models, and artificial intelligence, to enable monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics of manufacturing systems and their processes. Technical Idea One research...

Bioprocess Modeling for Expansion of Cell Culture

Ongoing
One of the most critical steps in bioprocessing is the controlled expansion of frozen cell cultures to generate sufficient cell quantities for manufacturing cell-based products or assay systems. This project focuses on building a scalable model for cell expansion processes that can support the...

Electronic Material Characterization

Ongoing
Manufacturing optimized devices that incorporate newly-emerging materials requires predictable performance throughout device lifetimes. Unexpected degradation in device performance, sometimes leading to failure, is often traceable to poor material reliability. Reliability is rooted in the stability...

Fundamental Measurements for Metal Additive Manufacturing

Ongoing
Objective To develop and deploy test methods and protocols, standard test artifacts, exemplar data, data processing tools, automation tools, and advanced characterization methods that address the complexity of AM, create robust measurements, and instill confidence in the metrology used in the...

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Management and Metrology (IAIMM)

Ongoing
IAIMM has identified IAI systems for decision making, planning, and control in manufacturing as a prime candidate for better Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) centered on both use and evaluation. The specific use case of multi-stage manufacturing presents a broad scope of application to...

Monitoring, Diagnostics and Prognostics for Manufacturing Operations

Completed
Objective - Develop and deploy measurement science to promote the implementation, verification, and validation of advanced monitoring, diagnostic, and prognostic technologies to minimize unplanned downtime and optimize planned downtime in manufacturing operations. What is the technical idea...

Reliability of Mechanical Systems in Buildings

Ongoing
Objective To develop AI-assisted Fault-Detection and Diagnostic tools for reliability and operating cost savings of residential air conditioners (ACs), heat pumps (HPs), and mechanical systems of large commercial buildings. Technical Idea NIST will develop and demonstrate cloud-based FDD methods for...

Trustworthy Systems, Components, and Data for Smart Manufacturing Program

Completed
OBJECTIVE: To develop and deploy advances in measurement science, standards, and test methods that enable key dimensions of trust, including performance, reliability, and security, for smart manufacturing systems, components, and data. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Manufacturing continually evolves as...
