This is a Small Business Innovation Research (STTR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Mound Laser & Photonics Center, Inc., a for-profit limited liability company. The contract, valued at $129,975.00, seeks to develop a fast predictive model for selective laser melting (SLM) processes and integrate it with an SLM chamber equipped with in-process sensors. This closed-loop system will enable rapid and flexible SLM process development,...
This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $129,946.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Mound Laser & Photonics Center, Inc., a small business. The contract is part of NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and focuses on developing real-time monitoring capabilities for additive manufacturing (AM) processes. The key innovation is the use of a line-laser profilometer to perform 3D, in-situ, sub-micron profilometry on each...
This is a $123,687 Phase I STTR contract awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Advratech, LLC, a small business, for an empirical optimization framework for additive manufacturing (AM) processes. The project aims to leverage in-situ sensor data and process parameters to construct a "physics-capturing" empirical model that can be used to quantify AM process uncertainty, analyze sensitivities, and optimize each layer of selective laser melting (SLM) builds in real-time. The...
