This $399,161 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Texas at Austin to develop new algorithms and simulations for co-designing the geometry and fabrication plans for direct-ink writing 3D printing. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), this three-year award will transform additive manufacturing design tools by allowing users to specify an object's desired mechanical behavior and automatically...
This $404,595 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program grant, awarded to the University of Delaware on March 1, 2024, supports research to enhance multi-material additive manufacturing (3D printing) through the use of advective assembly techniques. The project aims to develop modular 3D printing nozzles capable of rapidly structuring and depositing multi-material composites at higher resolution and volumetric throughput than conventional methods. This could enable new...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) totaling $344,918 will establish a collaborative research program at Florida International University (FIU) to develop advanced data-driven approaches for additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing of materials with locally tunable electrical and mechanical properties.
The research aims to create new polymer resin formulations for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing that can...
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will enable Iowa State University of Science and Technology to develop new materials and manufacturing methods for 3D printing multi-material objects with varying mechanical properties. The key objectives are to use machine learning to create resins enabling extreme mechanical contrast, develop a multi-material 3D printing process using photoswitches, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program project grant of $505,789, awarded to the University of Houston System, will fund research to advance data analytics and decision-making methods for improving the operational efficiency of cooperative 3D printing (C3DP) technology. The key objectives are to: (1) create a model to predict the positional accuracy of robot 3D printers and identify maintenance needs; (2) develop stochastic optimization models for maintenance planning,...
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 (NSF) awarded a $1,149,379 Project Grant through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop methods and materials for additive manufacturing that enable 3D printing of multi-material objects. The key research objectives are: 1) developing multi-material digital light processing (DLP) resins using machine learning to create patterns with extreme mechanical contrast, 2) creating a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $702,115 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Lowell to establish the Center for Science of Heterogeneous Additive Printing of 3D Materials (SHAP3D) under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund fundamental research and development to enable the manufacturing of complex, multi-functional products through heterogeneous 3D printing technologies that integrate diverse materials across all classes. The research...
