High Frequency and Resolution IR Camera for Advanced Additive Manufacturing Techniques

Abstract

The objective of this Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) proposal is to provide funds for the acquisition of a research system that includes a high-speed and highresolution research grade IR camera. The specific DOD interests supported by this proposal are:1. Hybrid Additive Manufacturing with Ceramics; 2. Polymer Additive Manufacturing (AM)using Laser Assist; 3. Development of an In-Situ Material Synthesis Process for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) via Dry-Metal Alloying, 4. Vibrothermograph y for Additive Manufacturing, and 5. Surrogate Energetic Mixing. The field of AM includes three dimensional (3D) printing of metal and polymer parts using various technologies as defined by ASTM F2792, including, but not limited to, conventional metal welding, powder bed fusion by laser sintering or laser melting, binder jetting, photopolymerization or stereolithography (SLA), material je tting, material extrusion, direct energy deposition, and sheet lamination.
