This is a $750,000.00 Firm Fixed Price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Applied Optimization, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business. The objective of the research is to use probability theory to combine physics-based models for additive manufacturing processes like selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) in order to predict and mitigate defects, achieve consistency of fused track size, maintain flatness of top layers, and control material microstructure. The work is intended to reduce the effort required for process parameter development and part qualification for specialty materials of interest to NASA. Applied Optimization has previously collaborated with subcontractors like 3D Systems, Southwest Research Institute, and the University of Dayton Research Institute on similar federal contract and grant work supporting advanced manufacturing and space applications.
