Warehouse injuries and accidents are occurring much too frequently and resulting in devastating consequences and implications for the involved facility. Although the recent emergence of low-cost and unobtrusive sensor technologies have flooded nearly every market to improve health and safety, the warehousing and manufacturing markets have remained largely unpenetrated. Aptima plans to fill this ga ...

Technology Solutions Experts, Inc. (TSE) is proposing to develop the Property Reuse and Disposition Tool, a mobile app that will significantly expedite and facilitate the way in which the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) catalogs excess property for its reuse.The DLA's current process of cataloging excess property is cumbersome and tedious--with the advent and proliferation of mobile technologies, t ...

DLA Disposition Services is responsible for the disposal of excess DOD personal property, foreign excess personal property, scrap, hazardous waste, and property requiring demilitarization. DLA Disposition Services also offers reutilization and public sales to military, federal, state and local agencies, non-profit agencies, and US taxpayers through a marketplace. In the current process, the user d ...

Tetramer Technologies, LLC, an advanced materials R&D company in South Carolina, will develop a novel security pigment and ink to be used in the production of tamper-evident and anti-counterfeit labelling and packaging. Current security inks often require extensive training or expensive equipment to be validated. Tetramer will model the desired novel pigment properties, synthesize pigments with th ...

Additive manufacturing of integrally cored ceramic molds promises substantial cost savings and much shorter development cycles for the cooled blades and vanes of the high pressure turbine section of aircraft engines. AM directly prints the ceramic mold and core as a monolithic body, thereby eliminating the major steps of ceramic core and wax pattern fabrication. Based on a cost analysis conducte ...

CAMX Power is proposing field demonstration of a new, ultra-high sensitivity cell screening technology that would reduce a 14-28 day cell monitoring operation in present lithium-ion manufacturing practice to about ten minutes, with cost savings, safety and logistics benefits. EaglePicher and Inventus Power, key suppliers of batteries to the US Military, have each agreed to serve as our collaborat ...

This project aims to create a commercially viable 3D printed prosthetic product line which is superior, cost effective and more efficiently utilizes clinician time. Phase 1 demonstrated the feasibility of a process that uses a low-cost 3D scanner to capture limb shapes, converts the scan data into a computer model file of the 3D printable socket, and prints a strong, durable socket that can be mou ...

Triton Systems propose to integrate 3-D printing into the capabilities of the DLA medical supply chain. This proposed innovation includes development of our medical 3-D printing technology and the demonstration of its capability to print of a variety of life-saving suplies in the DLA medical supply chain such as medical equipment, human tissue, and medicine. Medical 3D printing will enable the DLA ...

Orthotics and Prosthetic (O&P) clinics serve as the primary facilities at which 1.9 million U.S. amputees receive care. The design and fabrication of custom prosthetic devices is an integral part of how these O&P facilities provide patient care. Current prosthetic fabrication methods are costly and labor intensive, relying heavily on traditional manual manufacturing techniques. 3D-scanning and pri ...

The goal of this project is to provide the capability of producing medical devices and parts through 3D printing in a process that is safe, repeatable and easy to use.Additionally, we will fully address the challenge of 3D printing sterilized medical equipment.
