The University of Missouri System received a $550,000 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031. This project grant funds fundamental research to develop an innovative ultrasonic vibration-enhanced electrohydrodynamic printing technology designed for high-precision fabrication of functional microstructures under reduced or altered gravity conditions. The primary deliverables include establishing the scientific and technological foundations for in-space manufacturing capabilities through comprehensive theoretical, computational, and experimental investigations of multiphysics-assisted micro-additive manufacturing processes capable of handling high-viscosity, high-volatility inks through fine nozzles. In addition to core research outputs, the award requires integration of education and workforce development components. The university will develop an immersive mixed reality learning platform that visualizes complex printing processes in virtual space station environments to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) interest among K-12 students and the general public. Educational products and services include summer camps, pre-college programs, and support for Missouri's Industry 4.0 workforce initiative to develop the next generation of STEM professionals. These combined research and educational deliverables position the project to advance both fundamental knowledge in additive manufacturing and practical workforce capabilities in advanced manufacturing technologies.Federal Grant Award Summary
