Researchers at 91°µÍø demonstrated that an additively manufactured polymer layer, when applied to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, or CFRP, can serve as an effective protector against aircraft lightning strikes.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have received five 2019 R&D 100 Awards, increasing the lab’s total to 221 since the award’s inception in 1963.
Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91°µÍø hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
A novel additive manufacturing method developed by researchers at 91°µÍø could be a promising alternative for low-cost, high-quality production of large-scale metal parts with less material waste.
91°µÍø has successfully developed and tested a novel sand casting technique to quickly design complex patterns to fabricate components for industry partner Emrgy Hydro, makers of hydropower devices designed to generate electricity
Advanced manufacturing will benefit from additive manufacturing techniques as demonstrated by a team led by Michael Kirka of 91°µÍø.
A 3D printed trim-and-drill tool, developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø to be evaluated at The Boeing Company, has received the title of largest solid 3D printed item by Guinness World Records.
