| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing at NASA’s JPL is part of a larger, rapidly moving evolution of advanced manufacturing, materials, modeling and design. There are many areas in NASA where additive manufacturing can provide substantial benefits. These include integration of multiple spacecraft functions, fabrication of complex shapes, and integration of multiple parts for a single function. Ultimately, advanced manufacturing will enable a complete change in the way we design spacecraft including the integration of multiple functions, real-time multiphysics functional analysis for design trades, topology optimization, 3-D lattices, and built-in test methodologies. These will be facilitated by models at all scales, informed by in-situ data collection. There remain a number of challenges in achieving this vision. Several potential solutions to the challenges could be implemented in the near future. |
