- Dyndrite has been chosen by America Makes and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) to advance AI-driven qualification of additive manufacturing materials through the AIM-4AM project.
- The AIM-4AM project is a $2 million initiative aimed at creating an AI-driven framework to identify and quantify risks in the material allowables approach for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF).
- Dyndrite will lead a team comprising Mimo Technik and RTX to develop machine learning-driven methodologies to assess qualification risks for LPBF-produced 17-4PH H1025 stainless steel.
- The primary goal is to reduce the time, cost, and testing burden typically associated with traditional additive manufacturing qualification and certification workflows.
- The project intends to achieve its goals by employing process control, data pedigree, statistical confidence, and validation testing grounded in machine learning.
- The partnership aims to develop statistically informed reduced-testing protocols and production-oriented approaches that meet material qualification requirements.
- The project aligns with broader Department of Defense and industry priorities to quicken the industrialization of additive manufacturing, supported by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Manufacturing Technology Office.
