Fabrication of Novel Transducer Components and Materials through the Use of Additive Manufacturing Technologies

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to explore the ability of additive manufacturing to improve transducer performance via material and design optimization. With the Center for Innovative Materials Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D) and the Sonar Research and Development Division (SRDD) both under the umbrella of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL), the authors were confident that our expertise in additive manufacturing, metal and ceramic processing, and transducer design would yield novel designs and great performance improvements in transducer devices given the opportunity.
