SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies"
DESCRIPTION:With the constantly changing threat environment\, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts\, as well as rapid prototyping. \nThrough topology optimization\, parts can be designed lighter and/or stronger and more cost-effective. In addition to new technologies being explored such as hybrid manufacturing in which entire metal and plastic devices can be fabricated within the same piece of equipment\, a host of novel feedstocks are being developed such as multi-material thermoplastics and filled resins that further increase the range of properties and applications of the 3D printed parts. In addition to the research performed in Army laboratories\, one of the thrusts of Army additive manufacturing research is the ability to manufacture at the point of need in remote environments. Research at the US Army Research Laboratory Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC-ARL) has shown that agile\, expeditionary manufacturing could be accomplished through the use of materials at or near to the location of our operating bases. These materials could include not only commercial feedstocks\, but also the organic and inorganic materials naturally occurring in the area and recycled materials from the operating bases such as polymers\, metals\, and paper materials. Recently\, most of the ARL AM focus is in materials for energetics including high solids filled composites\, custom alloys and hybrid materials. This seminar will present a brief overview of the organization\, goals and AM programs\, and then discuss in more detail the polymer-related AM efforts.
