Auburn University is teaming with federal aviation authorities to improve commercial air travel by raising the reliability of 3D-printed metal aircraft components through two grants totaling $7.3 million.
The researchers at Auburn’s National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) are also working with the U.S. Army to elevate combat readiness by advancing the adoption and implementation of additive technologies in Army operations.
NCAME is assisting both the Army and the Federal Aviation Administration by closing gaps in additive manufacturing standards, which will ensure consistency in the durability and performance of 3D-printed products and parts.
