Projects

Our laboratory is working on a wide variety of fundamental projects and technology transfer projects related to direct

metal AM. The technology transfer projects include a large number of industry collaborators. Our research has also led

to the formation of Tolemaic Systems, LLC, which is a company developing process mapping software for direct metal

AM machine users.
