The primary research...
- 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 Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), is supporting a research project that explores a novel approach to creating stronger, more heat- and stress-resistant metals for extreme environments. The $249,614 award to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is investigating in-situ gas-phase alloying during directed energy...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project focused on developing intelligent scan sequence generation to reduce local overheating, distortion, and residual stress in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing. The $250,000 award, spanning January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Pittsburgh to mathematically, numerically, and experimentally...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,050 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to advance additive manufacturing of metal components. The grant supports research on a novel multi-nozzle molten metal jetting process that aims to reduce costs, increase production speeds, and leverage recycled feedstock materials for industrial-grade metal additive manufacturing. Key goals are to enable metal...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $463,417 CAREER grant to the University of Nebraska (UNL) under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to establish a scalable manufacturing approach for incorporating diverse solid particle additives into room temperature liquid metals. This work will lead to the creation of a novel class of multiphase conductive pastes with customizable physical, rheological, and chemical properties. The enhanced properties will increase the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $1,100,000 to Southern University and A&M College (SUBR) to acquire an advanced laser powder bed fusion 3D printer for multi-material additive manufacturing research and education. The project aims to enhance engineering research and workforce development, particularly among underrepresented groups, through hands-on experience with this cutting-edge additive...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $475,399 to Auburn University to conduct fundamental research on laser nanoparticle powder-bed fusion, an additive nanomanufacturing process. The research aims to develop layer-by-layer fabrication of micro- and nano-scale functional structures and devices with tunable chemical compositions, interface interactions, and physical architectures. This work has potential...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports fundamental research on "digital alloying" - a manufacturing process that uses metal precursor inks and additive manufacturing to fabricate metal alloy parts with controlled composition and microstructure. The $200,000 award to New Mexico State University (NMSU) aims to develop an understanding of how the digital printing of multi-metal precursor inks affects the properties and performance of the resulting metal alloy parts. This approach can substantially reduce the cost of metal additive manufacturing compared to expensive laser-based 3D printing. The research focuses on the chemical reactions and thermal processes involved in forming the desired metal alloy structures from the printed ink mixtures. The project also provides training opportunities for female and underrepresented minority students in engineering. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
