- This $155,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) supports fundamental research at Iowa State University to understand how nanoparticle self-assembly can be integrated into laser/powder-based additive manufacturing (AM) of multimodal metallic materials. The overall goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing nanoparticle self-assembly behavior, microstructure evolution, and property enhancements in AM of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to study a mold-free manufacturing process for producing commonly used polymer parts. The research aims to develop a fast and cost-effective "growth printing" technique that uses a self-propagating polymerization front, inspired by natural plant growth, to instantaneously solidify liquid resin without the need for expensive metal molds. This additive...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,614 to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to explore a novel approach for creating stronger, more heat- and stress-resistant metals for extreme environments. The research project is developing an innovative technique that forms durable ceramic particles within molten metal during 3D printing, using a directed energy deposition process that injects reactive...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $567,121 Project Grant to Michigan State University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant funds fundamental research to develop a new metal additive manufacturing process using light projection of mixtures of photopolymer and metal powder. Rather than point-by-point printing, the proposed process would use digital light projection to cure an entire layer of photopolymer mixed with metal powder. This could enable high-speed...
