Research abstract
Fabricating complex shapes with large and small features with conventional machining and forming techniques can be difficult, expensive, or even impossible. Currently no production equipment can cut, form, and weld thin films into complex shapes in an efficient and cost sensitive manner. Creare, with its partner plan on developing a system to laser cut, form, and weld thin metal films into complex 3D shapes. In Phase I, we will develop key modeling and technology for subsections of our system. We will then fabricate and evaluate prototype designs. In Phase II, we will assemble and test a fully integrated system and fabricate working and tested prototypes for the Army to evaluate.
