Research institutions collaborate with Local Motors for big area additive manufacturing of composite materials

TheInstitute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation(IACMI)在田纳西州诺克斯维尔,宣布了一个大型添加剂制造(BAAM)项目雷电竞充值Oak Ridge National Laboratory和3D印刷汽车公司Local Motors.

该项目是开发可用于车辆的3D打印组件的复合材料。目的是“挑战现有的设计并定义新组件以满足寿命和碰撞性能要求。”

Cars with a composite make-up

Composite material development between the three collaborators will take place at the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, leading the way for subsequent facilities around the US that can“produce cars with a substantial advanced composite make-up”.

当地汽车总经理Gregory Haye评论,

The integration of design within the materials selection and manufacture process optimizes vehicle production by reducing cycle time. The partnership with IACMI-The Composites Institute and its vast group of partners provides access to unique research and development capabilities, ultimately resulting in a more efficient manufacture process for our organization.

Composite materials in BAAM

As previously reported on 3D Printing Industry Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the partners in this project, are conducting studies into大面积添加剂制造(BAAM)的颗粒化原料的性能。雷电竞充值

In composite materials studies, we have also seen research from the likes of俄罗斯的Skolkovo科学技术研究所(Skoltech),用于3D印刷碳纤维零件- 一种在汽车中常用的材料。劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室(LLNL)也开发了an aerospace grade carbon fiber composite material suitable for 3D printing.
