This is a Small Business Set-Aside contract awarded by NASA to CFD Research Corporation, a small business, for the development of multiple high-fidelity modeling tools for metal additive manufacturing process development. The $749,991 Firm Fixed Price contract is a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) award that builds upon prior Phase I work demonstrating efficient simulations and feasibility of advanced modeling approaches for selective laser melting (SLM) processes. Under this Phase II effort, the modeling tools will be extended to improve computational efficiency and scalability to aerospace component dimensions, enhance the fidelity to better predict distortion, residual stress, microstructure, and defects, and leverage additional process data to validate the resulting codes. This work aims to address gaps in process modeling and material property prediction that contribute to slow and costly process development, qualification, and certification for additive manufacturing technologies.
