 Mission
• Support North Carolina as well as US industry
to get introduced to and adopt additive
manufacturing technologies through basic and
applied research, outreach, and student
education.

7
 Objectives
• Perform (in collaboration with members and
partners) industrially relevant fundamental research
related to development of:
– new materials for additive manufacturing
– automatic finishing technologies required for dimensional
requirements, surface finishes, etc.
– biomedical applications of additive manufacturing including
implant design and production
– electronics and power electronics packaging through additive
manufacturing
– "new" products designed and optimized for additive
manufacturing
– strategic logistics and supply chain models for the additive
manufacturing industry

8
 Objectives (cont.)
• Use pooled funds to stimulate mutually profitable
application of 3-D printing for aerospace, automotive,
medical device, and other emerging application domains.
• Be the focal point for education of students in engineering,
the basic sciences, design, and management.
• Provide training of industry personnel in the areas of
additive manufacturing processes, finishing of additively
produced parts, design for additive manufacture, design
and operation of additive manufacturing supply chains.
• Disseminate knowledge though research symposia,
workshops, and training.

transfer through the skin
•Recovered well and was using his
prosthetic training leg for 4 months
•New carbon fiber foot installed 12 months
ago
•Wearing prosthetic leg for 16 hrs per day
•Walking and running on the beach
•Issue with Skin-Implant interface
Materials in Development
• Copper (pure & alloy)
• Niobium (pure & alloy)
• Aluminum (alloys)
• Inconel (718 & 625)
• Nitinol
• ɣ-TiAl
• Lunar Regolith
• WC in Co
• Amorphous Alloys
 Design for Additive Manufacturing
• Buy-to-fly ratio
• New design rules to take full
advantage of AM
• More design freedom
• Still design limitations but
different

Project is aimed at integrating decisions involving

• 3-D build chamber nesting

 Part selection
 Part build orientation and position
 Support structure requirements
• Raw material availability
• Finishing resource availability
• Order fulfillment

in a make-to-order environment
