Robocasting Enterprises LLC

Robocasting Enterprises LLC is a small, for-profit advanced manufacturing firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, specializing in 3D-printed ceramic and zeolitic technologies for demanding applications. The company has established itself as a reliable federal contractor and grant recipient through its expertise in additive manufacturing, materials science, and thermal management solutions. Since its registration in SAM.gov in 2007, Robocasting Enterprises has built a substantial federal partnership portfolio, with prime federal contract and grant awards exceeding $4.6 million, primarily with NASA and the Department of Energy, positioning the company as a key innovator in advanced materials development for space exploration and energy applications.

Through its federal contract awards, Robocasting Enterprises has delivered specialized 3D-printed components and advanced materials across multiple project phases. The company has been awarded several Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts from NASA's Shared Services Center, including a Phase I contract valued at $124,992 (May 2021), a Phase II contract valued at $993,966 (April 2022), and a Phase III contract valued at $150,000 (November 2024), all focused on developing robocast zeolitic lattices for reversible carbon dioxide sorbent monoliths and related applications. Additionally, Robocasting Enterprises received a $150,000 Phase I SBIR contract (September 2025) for the development of passive, durable, gravity-independent condensing heat exchangers for pressurized lunar surface systems, demonstrating its ongoing innovation in thermal management for space applications. The company also completed a $50,000 purchase order with NASA's Ames Research Center in 2023 for the delivery of a 3D-printed monolith. All contract awards have utilized the Total Small Business set-aside designation, reflecting the company's small business status, with work performed at its Albuquerque facility.

Through federal grant awards, Robocasting Enterprises has participated in both prime and sub-award capacities to advance additive manufacturing technologies and materials science. The company held a prime cooperative agreement with the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (July 2021 to June 2025) for reducing the cost of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) fabrication via continuous fiber additive manufacturing and advanced polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) processes. Additionally, Robocasting Enterprises received a $10,000 project grant from NASA's Shared Services Center (May 2021) for research on robocast zeolitic lattices for reversible CO2 sorbent monoliths. As a sub-award recipient, the company has participated in federally funded research through North Carolina State University (November 2023) focused on radiation-assisted drying techniques for robocast ceramic heat exchangers to improve production yields and commercialization viability, and through the University of Alabama (October 2024) supporting National Science Foundation Partnerships for Innovation research on advanced crucible technology for wafer-scale 2D metals growth. The company has also contributed to sub-award research coordinated through university partners on silicon carbide (SiC) 3D printing optimization for aero-engine recuperators (May 2022), demonstrating its role in advancing high-temperature thermal management technologies.
