Ultrasonic consolidation is being investigated for building Stainless Steel structures. In this study, parameter optimization for ultrasonic consolidation of Stainless Steel 316L annealed is assessed by evaluating ...

A research project is underway to integrate an nScrypt Smart PumpTM 100 direct write nozzle with a Solidica FormationTM ultrasonic consolidation machine to rapidly fabricate parts with novel multi-functional features. ...

The increasing interest in engineering designs involving parts with multiple materials, and function specific members has placed more demand for technologies to fabricate such parts. This work discusses results of further ...

The interface between layers in ultrasonically fabricated parts is often poor for desirable material combinations, resulting in relatively low bond strength. This makes these fabrications unsuitable for structural ...
