Sbir phase i: novel holographic 3D optical metrology tool for precision low-volume manufacturing

Diffract Technology Inc. received a $254,901 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 1, 2022 to develop novel holographic 3D optical metrology tools for precision low-volume manufacturing under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The award aims to support the design of innovative holographic measurement devices that can enable more precise quality control for specialized manufacturing processes producing small production runs. The 12-month project period will allow Diffract Technology to advance its metrology technologies and tools to meet emerging needs in the manufacturing sector for reliable, high-precision inspection of complex components produced in limited quantities. The National Science Foundation seeks to strengthen U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness through targeted engineering research and development initiatives such as this SBIR Phase I grant.
