Additive Manufacturing Research

Abstract

This effort Investigates new additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities that enable production of lightweight materials for protection, lethality, and maneuverability that cannot be produced through traditional manufacturing methods. Efforts include the design and development of new feedstock materials engineered specifically for low-volume additive processes to produce net-shape materials with desired properties and functionalities; integrated process models and real-time monitoring for closed-loop control and production of lightweight materials with optimal architectures, property gradients, and interfaces; and design optimization capabilities that connect materials and manufacturing to access the full design space enabled by additive manufacturing.
