UHV Technologies Inc — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: Z3
UHV Technologies Inc — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $124,830. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code Z3 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
<p>The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D printing of ferrous, Cobalt, and<br /> Nickel-based alloys, using UHV’s innovative low temperature 3D printing technology for metals and alloys. This technology is based on electrochemical (co-)deposition of metallic ions at the tips of an array of electrolyte-containing nozzles, which are controlled by CAD files from a computer program. This technology has been successfully applied to 3D printing of Copper for printing very large<br /> area (several meters in size) printed circuit boards and flexible plastics. In the proposed project, the feasibility of applying this technology to alloys will be investigated, in particular iron-based, nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys.</p>
