Additive Manufacturing Part Qualification

Completed
Objective To develop and deploy test methods and protocols, standard test artifacts, exemplar data, data processing tools, and automation tools that create robust post-process measurements and non-destructive testing to enable qualification of AM parts by manufacturers. What is the Problem? To

Data Integration and Management for Additive Manufacturing

Completed
Objective Data plays the most critical role in linking AM lifecycle and value chain activities and streamlining the AM development process. While the AM data from a single build is essential for establishing part traceability, when methodically collected, the full processing history of thousands of

Digital Thread for Manufacturing

Ongoing
Purpose and Goals This project will provide research advances in product-definition standardization, conformance testing, and cybersecurity of data assets. Digital thread standards capabilities and infrastructure - Smart connected manufacturing requires the effective communication of the product

Material Qualification

Ongoing
Objective To develop, utilize, and analyze methods of characterizing the precursor materials in additive manufacturing in both virgin and recycled states with the goal of advancing measurement science to benefit the AM community. The components of principal interest will include the rheological

Precursor Material Qualification

Completed
To develop, utilize, and analyze methods of characterizing the precursor materials in additive manufacturing in both virgin and recycled states with the goal of advancing measurement science to benefit the AM community. The components of principal interest will include the rheological, size

Product Definitions for Smart Manufacturing

Completed
The Product Definitions for Smart Manufacturing project will deliver methods, protocols, and tools for developing, conformance testing, increasing user-awareness, and industrial adoption of product definition standards necessary for the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises. Smart

Qualification for AM Feedstocks, Machines and Processes

Completed
Objective - To develop, utilize, and analyze test methods and protocols for characterizing the feedstocks, machines, and processes in metal-based additive manufacturing to enable optimum usage and to reduce the cost and time needed for qualification. What is the Technical Idea? Qualification of AM

Systems Analysis Integration

Ongoing
Purpose & Goal The purpose of the SAI Project is to reduce redundant and inconsistent information about systems and their analysis across the multiple engineering disciplines involved. Redundant and inconsistent information exists between: Systems and analysis models: discipline-specific analysis
