The National Science Foundation awarded a $526,334 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh through the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support research titled "CAREER: UNRAVELING FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISMS GOVERNING GRAIN REFINEMENT IN COMPLEX CONCENTRATED ALLOYS MADE BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TOWARDS STRONG AND DUCTILE STRUCTURES." The five-year award, effective April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2026, will fund research investigating fundamental mechanisms governing...
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 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 $550,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research into a mold-free, additive manufacturing process called "Growth Printing" for rapidly producing high-performance polymer parts. The project at the University of Illinois aims to develop a self-propagating polymerization front triggered by laser initiation, which can quickly solidify liquid polymer resin to create useful part geometries without the need...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 project grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on optimizing scan sequences for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing. The objective is to mathematically, numerically, and experimentally investigate relationships between optimal scan sequences, temperature distribution, distortion, and residual stress in LPBF, in order to improve the economic viability of the...
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...
This $511,664 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a transformative new vat polymerization process for advanced manufacturing, named "ICLIP". The project, awarded to The Leland Stanford Junior University, seeks to fundamentally change the vat polymerization process by injecting material through the printed part during processing. This approach could result in a two-order-of-magnitude increase in printing...
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 $649,345 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) grant awarded to Carnegie Mellon University supports research to investigate a power field control strategy for prescribing desired thermal histories in powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. The project aims to: (1) understand the effects of power field control on microstructure and porosity, including solidification and solid-state transformations, and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of power field control in...
This $350,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of nanoscale single photon 3D printing technology at Purdue University from January 2023 through December 2024. Funded through NSF's Engineering Directorate under the CFDA 47.041 program for engineering research and education, this award contributes to the Foundation's mission of progressing science and supporting national prosperity and security. Specifically, the project aims to advance nanomanufacturing...
