- This contract award to Touchstone Research Laboratory, Ltd., a small business entity, is part of the SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) program Phase I under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $124,999 firm-fixed-price contract aims to develop a hybrid material form that combines a metal matrix composite (MMC) prepreg tape with an ultrasonic additive manufacturing process. This approach is intended to result in enhanced lightweight, cost-effective metallic...
Actuated Medical, Inc. (AMI), a woman-owned small business, was awarded a $124,983 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) composite feedstock material with improved deposition and strength properties for use in additive manufacturing (AM) of precision space parts. AMI will partner with Pennsylvania State University professors to formulate the PEEK composite, modify carbon microfibers, and incorporate focused laser heating to enhance bonding during the 3D printing process. This research aims to address the gap between current 3D printing material properties and those required for critical space systems, building on recent advances in AM materials like polyetherimide/polycarbonate demonstrated on the International Space Station. The contract is a firm-fixed-price purchase order set aside for small businesses.
