The DOD has a need for surgery and procedural training models, which have a high degree of realism and functionality with synthetic skin, muscle, vessels, adipose, and connective tissue. The 3D printing of synthetic tissues enables such models to be fabricated customized to particular situations (i.e. unique anatomy, bone fracture, or condition) and with lower cost than conventional methods. Inco ...

This project aims to make Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing a practical tool for supply chain management for the Defense Logistics Agency.The key step is developing process standardization to make LBPF quality vendor independent. This project will seek to demonstrate the use of a promising high speed melt pool monitoring device as a practical means to establish such process sta ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens ...

Universal Technology Corporation (UTC) has teamed with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Stratonics, and Macy Consulting to demonstrate not only the transitionability into commercial systems, but also to develop the data analytics and monitoring and control requirements to extract the full value fromseveral sensors, including the Stratonics ThermaViz, acoustic and profilometry se ...

Xerion Advanced Battery Corp (XABC) proposes Advanced Battery Manufacturing Techniques for High Performance, Low Cost Lithium Ion Batteries. XABC has developed a 3D battery electrode called StructurePore that allows for rapid ion and electron transport, enabling 5 minute charge times at 280Wh/kg on a positive + negative electrode basis. StructurePore batteries utilize a novel manufacturing metho ...

Forging process is widely used in the manufacture of critical mission sensitive components that require high strength and better consistent performance in service conditions. Process modeling for forging processes has been very successful in the last three decades. Modeling forging process serves us a virtual tryout tool and it offers lot more details about the forging process and parts than an e ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design advanced medical moulage that accurately simulates the progression of an injury or pathology by morphing through a series of clinical states to enable learners to confirm the progression of the wound and to determine whether iatrogenic errors or pathologies occurred duing treatment. The physical morphing moulage may be applied to medical m ...

This proposal offers the development of an advanced lightweight transparent armor that combines lightweight glass, Gemini spaced armor technology, advanced Quintium polymer and a proprietary thermoset interlayer (TAS1411) to reduce weight by more than 30% of the current state of the art. Ballistic testing will be completed at both elevated and low temperatures. Environmental testing will demonst ...
