.... A prototype system was developed to explore what was needed to automate simulation of the rotary draw bending of aluminum profiles, and subsequently, analyze the simulated production outcome with respect to wrinkling and developed length. 11 02 2011 19 10 2011 27 12 2011 27 12 2011...

... the use of autoclaves. Two composite manufacturing approaches were demonstrated: vacuum-bag compaction with oven cure and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding with oven cure. For this project, a 2.8-m diameter fairing was developed for the Minotaur IV launch system. The prototype fairing...

.... At the same time, during the development phase of new or improved nanotechnology-enabled products, it is beneficial to produce rapidly polymer prototypes to test the functionality of components with nanoscale features. Thus, the technologies currently available for nanostructuring replication masters do...
