Results for "Laboratory for Freeform Fabrication"

The Laboratory for Freeform Fabrication seeks to develop and disseminate processes that enable exceptional improvement in the manufacture and maintenance of geometrically and functionally complex objects. These objects can have spatially varying materials and microstructures oversize ranges from the nano- to the macro scale. This is achieved by precise application of energy and materials in space and time. Measures of improvements are the introduction of novel products and higher quality existing products more quickly and economically, with positive impact on the environment.
