NIU EIGERlab, through a partnership with DMDII, will have QuesTek, Product Development & Analysis (PDA), and NIU College of Engineering give a presentation on Computer Modeling for Alloys and Manufacturing Processes.
QuesTek will be covering how we utilize the manufacturing process simulation capability of PDA to the prediction of part-specific microstructure and properties, for optimization of material and process specifications to yield desirable properties in parts. They will also cover case studies of prior and on-going applicable research related to the manufacturing process and part variation simulation.
PDA will be covering Computer Modeling of Various Manufacturing processes including Additive. This will provide an overview of the current state of the art technologies in various manufacturing processes, in particular, various metal casting processes and alloys; and intelligent adaptive fixture for machining of castings with variability from piece to piece. The presentation will cover case studies including on-going research projects funded through DMDII and other Manufacturing USA institutes. Rapid Process Certification and Verification for High-Value-Added and Low-Volume Production. This will be a high-level overview of this program and how it might help SME’s learn about these technologies and ways NIU can potentially help.
NIU College of Engineering will present Process Parameters of Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM). This will be an overview of NIU’s research that is being done in Metal AM in terms of process parameters and how working with NIU EIGERlab we can help develop customized solutions.
