Racing Ahead: CIMP-3D Joins Forces with Students and Industry to Enhance On-Track Performance

Posted on

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.

Additive Manufacturing Unlocks Next-Generation Heat Pipes and Vapor Chambers

Posted on

CIMP-3D researchers have developed and demonstrated innovative AM processing techniques that usher in new opportunities for thermal management.  The work, published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer [1], showcases how AM can be used to produce highly complex, conformal wicking structure in nickel superalloys.  The novel AM processing strategies were used to print thousands of internal micro-pillars directly onto the complex internal wicking structure.

Unleashing Extreme Design with Multi-material Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Posted on

CIMP-3D continues to revolutionize additive manufacturing with the introduction of the Selective Powder Deposition (SPD) module by Aerosint, now integrated into the 3D Systems ProX320 laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) system.  The technology—which can deposit three different powders within a single layer at 300 µm2 resolution—unlocks unprecedented design flexibility and material versatility.  The system was acquired by Dr. Guha Manogharan, Co-Director of CIMP-3D and lead of the Systems for Hybrid-Additive Process Engineering (SHAPE) lab.
