CIMP-3D is pleased to offer our intensive 3-day hands-on practicum for industry on additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials at Penn State.
CIMP-3D Co-Director Appointed to Help Lead Penn State’s New National Security Institute
Penn State has tapped CIMP-3D Co-Director Allison Beese to serve as Senior Associate Director of its newly established National Security Institute — bringing additive manufacturing expertise to the forefront of the University’s national security research agenda.
Innovating Defense Repairs: Penn State ARL Advances Cold Spray Technology Worldwide
Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) has been at the forefront of developing, advancing, qualifying, and transitioning Cold Spray technology for repair and part fabrication to U.S. defense sponsors for more than a decade. This innovative technology enables rapid, cost-effective repairs and fabrication of critical components, ensuring operational readiness for military assets.
Ultrasound Enhances Inspection of Metal DED AM Parts
Penn State researchers, supported by CIMP-3D, have shown how ultrasound can enhance the inspectability of additively manufactured metal components, earning recognition at the 2025 American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Research Symposium.
Racing Ahead: CIMP-3D Joins Forces with Students and Industry to Enhance On-Track Performance
In a showcase of engineering excellence across the university, student organization Nittany Motorsports has partnered with CIMP-3D and 3D Systems to revolutionize their suspension system with the power of additive manufacturing. Competing annually against 100 other student racing teams at Formula SAE Michigan, Nittany Motorsports found that their previous suspension bell crank design cracked after weeks of abuse. A stiffer and more durable solution was needed to transmit wheel motion to the damper.
