This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ultramet, a for-profit manufacturer of advanced materials solutions. Under this $890,000.00 Firm Fixed Price contract, Ultramet is developing a 3D laser-directed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) additive manufacturing system to build free-form refractory metal components for liquid rocket propulsion systems. The system will be able to deposit successive layers of materials such as rhenium, tungsten, tantalum, and niobium to create complex internal features and reduce part count. This builds on the successful demonstration of the 2D layering process in the Phase I effort. The goal of this Phase II contract is to mature the system and technology to enable the automated fabrication of small 3D refractory metal components.
