Abstract

This NASA SBIR Phase II proposal presents an unprecedented laser micro additive manufacturing system for making Stirling heat engine regenerators, by using a pulsed fiber laser and beam shaping technology. It is the enabling technology for manufacturing fine structures with micron precision. With our successful history in AM and SM processing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration has been carried out and samples were delivered to NASA during Phase 1. Prototypes in compliant with the Stirling heat engine system requirement will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
