System and method for part porosity monitoring of additively manufactured components using machining
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.
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.

The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification. The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
Digital twins (DTs) have emerged as essential tools for monitoring, predicting, and optimizing physical systems by using real-time data.
Simulation cloning is a technique in which dynamically cloned simulations’ state spaces differ from their parent simulation due to intervening events.
This invention introduces a continuous composite forming process that produces large parts with variable cross-sections and shapes, exceeding the size of the forming machine itself.
