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...
