Layered Structures – Innovative Tube/Pipe Manufacturing Process
High Performance Tubular Structures (HPTS) is an emerging technology being developed by Techreo in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. HPTS will provide breakthrough performance advantages in a wide range of metal tubular structures, including pipes transporting [...]
At the frontier of in-space production: Harnessing microgravity for manufacturing
Since the dawn of human space exploration, there have been dreams of manufacturing products in space of such quality and novelty that they improve life on Earth. And over the past 50 years, microgravity research [...]
Investigation of Fidelity of Micro Molded Features Using Microinjection Molding Process
This paper investigates the influence of selected processing parameters of microinjection molding on the replication fidelity of micro molded features. Parameters were altered in order to find to what extent the microfeatures can be stretched [...]
Investigation of Bulk Metallic Glass Tooling Lifetime for Microinjection Molding
The lifetime of a commercially available zirconium based bulk metallic glass (BMG) for microinjection molding (μIM) was investigated in this research. The primary objective was to understand the effect of the molding conditions on the [...]
Vibration Assisted Injection Molding: An Innovative Energy Efficient Processing Technique for Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA) with Enhanced Properties
This work is focused on the development of time and energy efficient injection molding processing strategies to fabricate semi-crystalline plastic components with enhanced properties. A Vibration Assisted Injection Molding (VAIM) process was devised for this [...]
Experimental and Analytical Analysis for Advanced Hot Runner Based Injection Molding
A novel technology “Rheodrop” was developed to advance the process of hot runner based injection molding. The technology applies controllable shear rate to the polymer melt during and between injection molding cycles. The application method [...]
Post-Process Superfinishing Of Additively Manufactured Components For Next-Gen Space Application: A Primer On The Implementation Of Metal Additive Manufacturing, Its Promises And Challenges, And The Need For Novel Superfinishing Technology
Growing adoption of Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies promises revolutionary beneficial changes in manufacturing, however, in many industries, particularly industries such as Aerospace (with complex qualifying standards), challenges in the form of various defects/flaws (both [...]
