The technology will offer supportless DIW of complex structures using vinyl ester resin, facilitated by multidirectional 6 axis printing.

We have developed a novel extrusion-based 3D printing technique that can achieve a resolution of 0.51 mm layer thickness, and catalyst loading of 44% and 90.5% before and after drying, respectively.

US coastal and island communities have vulnerable energy infrastructure and high energy costs, which are exacerbated by climate change.

Wind turbine blades face a harsh environment in which erosion of the leading edge is a major factor for in-use maintenance. Current industrial practices to address this leading edge erosion are replacement of reinforcing materials upon significant damage infliction.

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.

The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.

A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).

This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.

Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.
