Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing of Leading Edges Robotics Requirements

Abstract

This report documents the design requirements for a robotic manufacturing cell capable of fabricating leading edges up to 10 ft in length using the cold spray process. The report also covers the requirements for software to be used in running the system. The design requirements were influenced by the authors' prior experience and subject matter expertise in the area of cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM). The report will be used to define the requirements for a prototype manufacturing cell that is being built as a deliverable to the Army Manufacturing Technology Program. The design principles can be used by the Army and other Department of Defense agencies to define the requirements for other similar CSAM cells.
