Research abstract
This SBIR Proposal addresses the need for Additive Manufacturing (AM) for Transducer Development. Our approach is to use electron beam melting for processing alloys and building up layers to obtain the transducer parts. Our choice of transducer parts and materials for our targeted designs should allow a cost savings in transducer parts and fabrication as well as the possibility of improved performance. A program is presented for analysis, design improvements and results during a Phase I effort.
