Additive Manufacturing (Page 3)

The Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC), operated by EWI, is pleased to announce its 2024 research portfolio, which includes two new projects and two continuations: High-strength Aluminum Testing and Characterization of Commercially Available Materials (continued) – This project will continue to evaluate previously provided builds to examine the effect of HIPing on fatigue and elevated temperature mechanical properties, porosity...

Interested in using directed energy deposition (DED) in your operation to build fine component features or execute repairs? Laser DED can be quite expensive. However, EWI has recently developed a DED process based on gas metal arc welding (GMAW) that is significantly more cost efficient. The project is described in Reciprocating Wire Feed Gas Metal...

This past September, EWI was awarded a $17 million, 3-year contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop convergent manufacturing (CM) platforms for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sustainment. The project is now being managed under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Technical development work is already taking place at EWI’s labs...
