Summary: The purpose of this project is to replicate the Army Research Labs modified Lulzbot platform for printing ceramics, redesign the extrusion auger for a more controlled and refined combination of various ceramic slurries, and develop a simulation to replicate effects of geometric auger modification on mixedness for next generation armor applications. Auger designs will be tested for mixedness of printed product as well as waste product between composition shifts.
