Abstract:
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been described as ‘the next industrial revolution’. Initiatives like America Makes, the flagship of the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) institutes, and the installation of a 3D printer on the International Space Station, illuminate the significant momentum that AM has gained. The processing technology which enables 3D printing also allows the production of multifunctional structures through strategic compositional grading. In this talk we will discuss current and future AM processing of materials including the science and application of gradient alloys for NASA and commercial use.

Bio:
Peter is one of the founding members of a grass-roots, cross-organizational group of material scientists and engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory working to advance materials and processes like additive manufacturing, gradient alloys and functionally graded materials, and bulk metallic glasses. When he’s not writing proposals he supports a number of flight and R&D projects as a technologist in the Advanced Electronics Packaging Engineering group. Peter holds a BSc. in Materials Engineering from CalPoly, SLO and a MSc. and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Irvine. As a graduate student he developed microstructural engineering strategies used to create superplastic ceramic materials. Prior to his graduate studies he provided manufacturing support for Printronix and the Dental and Automotive Divisions of 3M as both a quality and process engineer.
