Hierarchical Materials

Ongoing
The STG develops the methods and metrology that will lead to the understanding of the structure-property relationships of hierarchical composites in real medical PPE or protective applications, which heretofore has been lacking. This work establishes in situ monitoring of advanced manufacturing

AM Machine and Process Control Methods for Additive Manufacturing

Completed
Objective Develop algorithms, methods and standard protocols for Additive Manufacturing (AM) process control, and implement it with software and hardware tools for open control of AM systems to enable more flexible process optimization by manufacturers. What is the Technical Idea? Additively

Data Driven Decision Support for Additive Manufacturing

Completed
Objective To develop and deploy the metrics, models, and best practices for using product definition, advanced analytics, and machine learning methods in additive manufacturing design and process planning to reduce lead times and support first-part-correct goals. Technical Idea Future advancements

Data Integration and Management for Additive Manufacturing

Completed
Objective Data plays the most critical role in linking AM lifecycle and value chain activities and streamlining the AM development process. While the AM data from a single build is essential for establishing part traceability, when methodically collected, the full processing history of thousands of
