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

Metrology for Real-Time Monitoring of Additive Manufacturing

Completed

Objective To develop and disseminate metrology methods, tools, data, and standards applied to in-situ monitoring of AM processes, such that manufacturers and their customers can accurately and precisely determine the quality of the fabrication process and resulting parts. What is the Technical Idea

Data Driven Decision Support for Additive Manufacturing

Completed

Objective To develop and deploy the metrics, models, and best practices for using product definition, advanced analytics, and machine learning methods in additive manufacturing design and process planning to reduce lead times and support first-part-correct goals. Technical Idea Future advancements

Consistency Analysis and Uncertainty in ‘omic Data

Ongoing

‘Omics is increasingly moving out of the laboratory and towards use in industrial and commercial applications. For instance, in biomanufacturing, there is a need for quality control when developing biotherapeutics, which will almost certainly require a machine-learning classifier to separate
