Agile Metals Additive Manufacturing Research I

The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Center for Agile Materials Manufacturing Science (CAMMS) is conducting transformative agile manufacturing research, including additive manufacturing (3D printing) and advanced manufacturing, for developing Army relevant metallics, polymerics, and hybrid materials based AM feedstocks. This research opportunity focuses on establishing and expanding high fidelity pre-build, in-situ, ex-situ, and post-build modular AM digital tools and integrating them under artificial intelligent (AI) based deep machine learning (ML) platforms to increase real time closed loop predictability and manufacturability. The Materials and Manufacturing Sciences Division is seeking an internship candidate with strong academic backgrounds in computer aided design (CAD), metals additive manufacturing, computer programming and scripting languages, and analytical or computational skills to conduct applied research in metals AM Army specific applications. The candidate will scientifically assess the effects of metals AM processing independently and work with ARL personnel to build baselines and build optimized metallic prints. This position is part of the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP), which is designed to increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army.
