Description
The overall goal of this SBIR Phase II Reachback project is to develop an enabling technology for shipboard additive manufacturing. NAVSEA has been installing advanced manufacturing equipment, including 3d printers, onboard ships in support of shipboard operations and to evaluate performance of the equipment in shipboard environments and in response to Fleet demand. However, the performance of the equipment and quality of fabricated parts is impacted by shipboard vibration and motions which limits shipboard printing applications, especially higher criticality applications. In order to realize the benefits advanced manufacturing at the point of need provides, the Navy needs technology that mitigates shipboard vibration and motions for additive manufacturing equipment. This Reachback program will test a range of 3d printers in a simulated shipboard dynamic environments and then design an active motion compensation platform to mitigate the impact of the dynamical environments.
