In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).

The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification.  The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.

With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.

Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).

We present the design, assembly and demonstration of functionality for a new custom integrated robotics-based automated soil sampling technology as part of a larger vision for future edge computing- and AI- enabled bioenergy field monitoring and management technologies called

Creating a framework (method) for bots (agents) to autonomously, in real time, dynamically divide and execute a complex manufacturing (or any suitable) task in a collaborative, parallel-sequential way without required human interaction.

Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.

A bonded carbon fiber monolith was made using a coal-based pitch precursor without a binder.

In additive printing that utilizes multiple robotic agents to build, each agent, or “arm”, is currently limited to a prescribed path determined by the user.
