Research abstract
This Navy SBIR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented laser additive manufacturing system for metal parts with integrated functions of AM & SM and feedforward control, by using a single femtosecond (fs) fiber laser. It provides unique capability in manipulating microstructures to tailor the performance of the parts. It is the enabling technology for manufacturing high strength, high density and high hardness metal components. With our successful history in AM and SM processing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration will be carried out and samples will be delivered at the end of Phase 1. Prototypes with various types of components in compliant with the aerospace system requirement will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
