- 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 $754,962 Firm Fixed Price STTR Phase II contract awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to Mound Laser & Photonics Center, Inc. (MLPC), a small business. The contract is for in-process monitoring of additive manufacturing (AM) processes, building on prior Phase I work. Under this Phase II effort, MLPC and collaborators at Wright State University (WSU) and the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) will develop a low-cost sensor system to track key quality-indicative...
- 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...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Flightware Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation, to develop a novel in-process inspection (IPI) method called Layer Topographic Mapping (LTM) for laser powder bed forming (LPBF) metal additive manufacturing. The objective is to address low process maturity and part-to-part inconsistencies in LPBF by using a laser profilometer sensor to create high-accuracy 3D...
- This STTR Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to CFD Research Corporation, a small business, to develop modeling and simulation tools for predicting and controlling material microstructure in selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing processes. The $124,996 fixed-price contract aims to establish critical software, modeling methodology, and experimental data analysis required to demonstrate the feasibility of...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $124,954.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to LER Technologies Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation, to conduct a feasibility study on an in-situ inspection unit that can be added to an existing additive manufacturing (AM) tool. The goal is to provide real-time information about part quality and detect flaws during the AM process, enabling immediate feedback and process correction to save...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Metrolaser, Incorporated, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, for $124,932.00. The contract aims to develop a non-destructive evaluation method using acoustic signatures to inspect parts manufactured by additive manufacturing (AM) processes, which can be applied both in space and on Earth. The proposed solution combines laser Doppler vibrometry...
- This federal contract award to Advratech, LLC, a small business, is part of the SBIR Phase I program for the development of a new Additive Manufacturing (AM) process called Selective Laser Ablation and Melting (SLAM). The key innovation is the use of laser micromachining guided by high-resolution surface profilometry as a subtractive method to make in-process corrections to traditional Selective Laser Melting (SLM) builds. This hybrid AM approach is expected to produce complex internal part...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Additive Manufacturing Innovations LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned small business. The $124,823 firm-fixed-price contract is for the development of a multiscale model for material systems with hierarchical microstructure using the Generalized Method of Cells (GMC). This research will support the optimization of...
