Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) of High-Modulus Aligned-Fiber
SBC: IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS, INC. Topic: AF21ATCSO1CBAM is superior because it has strong material properties, can be upgraded to new materials easily, and can do this at industry-leading speeds. This last point is what sets CBAM apart from the competition. Because CBAM uses well-developed 2D-printing techniques to do 3D printing, IO can straight-forwardly scale CBAM using these time-tested 2D-printing technologies to reach mass-production speeds ...

Rotor Blade Designs for Quiet Performance
SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C. Topic: AFX20DTCSO1CU Aerospace (CUA) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) are developing a new design methodology for rotor blades, which will offer quieter performance compared to conventional approaches. The applied approach seeks to mitigate the acoustic impact of vortex-induced noise of lifting rotors and propellers, which currently serves as a dominant noise source for these systems. The t ...
