Approach: 1. Binder Jetting AM of cellular sand molds for metal casting; 2. Ceramic tile encapsulation; 3. Continuous fiber embedding. Advantages: 1. AM allows for structure topology to be tailored to specific threat types; 2. Multi-material solution enables protection against multiple threat types; 3. Homogenous structure (i.e., no delamination from cellular structure and faces); 4. Scalable technology; able to make large structures at low cost quickly; 5. Large material selection.
