Author(s)
Zahraha Brunner
Manufacturing USA® is a network of public-private partnerships united to secure U.S. global leadership in advanced manufacturing through large scale collaboration on technology, supply chain, and workforce development. The network includes the U.S

Circular Economy in a High-Tech World

October 18, 2022
Author(s)
Kelsea Schumacher, Martin L. Green
The proliferation of electronics, batteries, and solar panels in recent decades has resulted in a substantial generation of end-of-life (EoL) "high-tech" products. Currently, these products follow a largely linear – extract, make, use, dispose – model, but

Feasibility of using depth cameras for evaluating human - exoskeleton interaction

October 14, 2022
Author(s)
Soocheol Yoon, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Ann Virts, Roger V. Bostelman, Milli Shah
With increased use of exoskeletons in a variety of fields such as industry, military, and health care, there is a need for measurement standards to understand the effects of exoskeletons on human motion. Optical tracking systems are the current gold

Research and Application of Machine Learning for Additive Manufacturing

October 1, 2022
Author(s)
Paul Witherell, Yan Lu, Ying Liu, David W. Rosen, Timothy Simpson, Charlie Wang
Additive manufacturing (AM) is poised to bring a revolution due to its unique production paradigm. It offers the prospect of mass customization, flexible production, on-demand and decentralized manufacturing. However, a number of challenges stem from not

Ball Screw Health Monitoring with Inertial Sensors

September 30, 2022
Author(s)
Vibhor Pandhare, Marcella Miller, Gregory W. Vogl, Jay Lee
In industrial applications, the mechanical wear on ball screw components can lead to a loss of positioning accuracy that reduces the operational reliability and reproducibility of production systems. Existing monitoring solutions are impractical for real

New Standards Working Group on Semantic Maps and More to Come!

September 30, 2022
Author(s)
Jaeho Lee, Craig I. Schlenoff
The Robotics and Automation Society's (RAS) standards working groups continue to grow. Our current working groups are pursuing standards and guidelines in the following areas. - Autonomous Robots - Ethically Driven Nudging for Robotic, Intelligent and

Towards the Physical Reliability of 3D-Integrated Systems: Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopic (BDS) Studies of Material Evolution and Reliability in Integrated Systems

September 30, 2022
Author(s)
Papa Amoah, Joseph J. Kopanski, Yaw S. Obeng, Christopher Sunday, Chukwudi Okoro, Lin You, Dmirty Veksler
In this paper, we present an overview of our current research focus in developing non-destructive metrology for monitoring reliability issues in 3D-integrated electronic systems. We introduce a suite of non-destructive metrologies that can serve as early

The Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF) Core Ontology

September 19, 2022
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Milos Drobnjakovic, Farhad Ameri, Chris Will, Barry Smith
The Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF) has been formed to create a suite of interoperable ontologies that would serve as a foundation for data and information interoperability in all areas of manufacturing. To ensure that the ontologies are developed in a

Data organization in laser-based powder bed fusion for metals

September 16, 2022
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Albert T. Jones, Shengyen Li, Mostafa Yakout
Data analytics (DA) and artificial intelligence (AI) have been chosen as the technologies for extracting new knowledge and making better decisions in additive manufacturing (AM) processes. They have been chosen because accurate and complete physics-based

Measuring downstream supply chain losses due to power disturbances

September 16, 2022
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas, Juan Fung
Power outages in the U.S. affect many firms' economic activity and are likely to result in downstream supply chain disruptions. This paper examines the impact of power disturbances in the supply chain for four industries: manufacturing, durable goods

The Strategy for American Leadership in High-Consequence Additive Manufacturing

September 9, 2022
Author(s)
Mark Benedict, Shawn P. Moylan, Souhail Al-Abed, Cindy Ashforth, Y. Kevin Chou, Matthew Di Prima, Alaa Elwany, Michael Gorelik, Astrid Lewis, Todd Luxton, Blake Marshall, William Mullins, Linda Sapochak, Richard Russell, James A. Warren, Douglas Wells
Over the past decade, a consistent theme in enhancing U.S. global competitiveness has been the need for U.S. leadership in critical advanced manufacturing technologies. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing, has been among those critical

Effects of local processing parameters on microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of electron beam powder bed fusion manufactured Ti-6Al-4V

August 27, 2022
Author(s)
Edwin Schwalbach, Jake Benzing, Vikas Sinha, Todd Butler, Adam Pilchak, Kevin Chaput, Norman Schehl, Reji John, Nik Hrabe
Electron beam powder bed fusion scan strategies for parts or part groupings of various sizes and scan line lengths have been found to inadvertently lead to significant variations in crystallographic texture and mechanical properties for Ti–6Al–4V. This
