This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant, awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan, supports a $496,138 collaborative research effort to develop an approach for optimally determining laser scan sequences in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing. The goal is to create knowledge that enables 3D printing of complex metallic parts with fewer failed or defective prints, thereby improving the economic viability of LPBF. The...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $135,113 Project Grant to the University of Michigan under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research to develop an additive manufacturing process using selective laser melting for thermoelectric waste heat recovery materials and devices. Key activities include establishing a correlation between laser processing variables and thermoelectric material characteristics to provide a net-shape and scalable additive...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $183,970 project grant to the University of Michigan under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct collaborative research on modulating powder bed cohesion to reduce defects in binder jetting 3D printing. The research aims to test the hypothesis that pre-wetting powder will suppress powder scattering and reduce pore formation during the binder jetting process by accelerating binder absorption and increasing powder bed cohesion. The University of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $408,853 Project Grant to the Regents Of The University Of Michigan - Office Of Research And Sponsored Projects Division (doing business as University Of Michigan) to support research that contributes new knowledge related to fluid deposition manufacturing processes. The award supports efforts to develop computationally efficient high-viscosity flow modeling, a closed-loop optimal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project focused on developing intelligent scan sequence generation to reduce local overheating, distortion, and residual stress in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing. The $250,000 award, spanning January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Pittsburgh to mathematically, numerically, and experimentally...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to address challenges in high deposition rate metal additive manufacturing. The $570,160 award to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley aims to investigate and control the metallurgical transformation of deposited material by simultaneously employing multiple thermal energy sources, such as laser, induction heating, and ultrasonic vibration. The key research tasks include...
This $598,650 five-year National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, supports fundamental research by The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) aimed at understanding the processing-structure-property relationships in metallic parts manufactured using a co-axial wire feed-powder feed laser directed energy deposition (DED) process. The research objectives are to: (1) compare deposit formations in the co-axial wire-powder DED process to singular wire...
The University of Michigan was awarded a three-year $650,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will support research exploring in situ nanoparticle synthesis and redistribution during solidification of metal matrix nanocomposites. Specifically, the University of Michigan will conduct experiments and analysis to better understand how nanoparticles...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research investigating the reuse and recycling of feedstock in the laser directed energy deposition metal additive manufacturing process. The total funding amount is $659,153 over a 5-year period, with the award starting on May 1, 2025 and ending on April 30, 2030.
