Statement of Work: Toward AI-driven additive manufacturing for metal-ceramic composite structures
The project scope is to investigate the compatibility of various ceramic and metal powder composite feedstock development, implement AI algorithms for in-situ monitoring and parameter optimization of binder jet 3D printing to achieve reliable and robust metal/ceramic and/or ceramic/ceramic composite components, and create a generative design framework for heterogeneous composite structures incorporating metals and ceramic-based materials to achieve specific mechanical properties. Funded is the effort and travel by the faculty advisor at University of California Berkeley in support of the work of their students and the related collaborative research and development effort.
