Funding to improve QA in additive manufacturing of turbine components

摘要

The U.S. Departmentof Energy, through its University Turbine Systems Research program,has awarded researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’sSwanson School of Engineering with $802,400 to find an effectivequality assurance method for additive manufacturing (alsoknown as 3D printing) of gas turbine components.The three-year project has received additional support fromthe University of Pittsburgh ($200,600), resulting in a total grantof $1,003,000.
