Supported by the National Science Foundation<\/a> (NSF), this research will be improving upon 3D printer assisted technology. 3D printing holds the potential to reinvent the manufacturing industry, however the materials currently available do not meet the industry requirements.<\/p>\n In order to further the adoption of 3D printing<\/a> in manufacturing industries, scientists and engineers will be discovering and testing the composition, processing, microstructure, performance, and structural integrity of materials that can be used in advanced 3D printing.<\/p>\n Michael Khonsari, from the LSU Department of Mechanical Engineering<\/a> and the project director for the newly established Louisiana Materials Design Alliance, said: “This game-changing work is at the frontiers of science, engineering, and education. We are committed to connecting our research discoveries to industry, so they can have real-world impacts.”<\/p>\n The Louisiana Materials Design Alliance enables the collaboration of scientists and engineers from five Louisiana universities\u2014Louisiana Tech<\/a>, University of Louisiana Lafayette<\/a>, Southern University A&M<\/a>, Tulane University<\/a> and LSU.<\/p>\n “This is a great win for Louisiana and the economy that will provide a much-needed boost to the manufacturing industry in our state and across the US We are thankful for the National Science Foundation’s support of the research expertise at LSU and throughout Louisiana,” said LSU Interim President Tom Galligan.<\/p>\n “This project is a superb example of synergistic, inter-related research and educational activities that support a larger national scientific priority area,” said Ann Stapleton, NSF Established Program to Stimulate Collaborative Research Director.<\/p>\nTesting 3D printer materials<\/h3>\n
