Research abstract
This NASA SBIR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented method to do additive manufacturing of integrated heat exchangers for pumped fluid loop with a femtosecond (fs) fiber laser. It is the enabling technology for 3D manufacturing of high thermal conductivity materials. With our successful history in ultrafast laser AM and SM processing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration will be carried out at the end of Phase 1. A prototype will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
