This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $598,148 to the University of California, San Diego for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

The award will support the development of new analytical frameworks to improve control of metal additive manufacturing processes through theoretical and experimental investigations. Specifically, the university aims to create and validate a partial differential equation and ordinary differential equation model-based approach for the design of estimators relying on melt-front measurements alone to estimate temperature profiles. This will enable feedback controllers to robustly regulate melt pool size and cooling rates under varying layer geometry and local thermal properties. The research seeks to advance control-oriented modeling of additive manufacturing processes like selective laser melting. If successful, this work could positively impact the use of metal additive manufacturing in industries such as aerospace and defense.
