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...
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...
This $247,667 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041), will fund collaborative research on laser powder-fed directed energy deposition (LP-DED) additive manufacturing. The University of Michigan will investigate fundamental interactions between high-speed metal particles and molten pools in LP-DED using synchrotron X-ray imaging and computational process modeling....

The National Science Foundation awarded a $478,154 project grant to the University of Michigan through the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support research titled "Fundamental Understanding of Amorphization Mechanism and Intermetallic Prevention in Friction-Based Solid-State Additive Manufacturing of Aluminum-Steel Bimetalic Components." The two-year project beginning January 1, 2022 aims to advance scientific understanding of material properties and manufacturing processes for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $453,682 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct fundamental research on ceramic binder jet additive manufacturing. The project, titled "CAREER: Powder Preparation and Compaction for Ceramic Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing," aims to generate new knowledge about how powder granule characteristics and compaction affect the density of ceramic parts produced through this advanced...
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 applications...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 in funding to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to study powder spreading behavior for additive manufacturing applications. The research aims to design a testbed to better define and measure powder spreadability, a critical but poorly understood metric for additive manufacturing. The project will develop novel measurement methods to determine the 3D topography...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant, awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan, provides $599,491 in funding from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030 to develop scientific principles for waste-free, extrusion-based robotic three-dimensional concrete printing.
