The project call, similar to the institutes previous “Fast Forge” calls, is designed to solicit exciting new project ideas connecting materials, processes and systems, and bring them to completion on a shorter timeline.
Project ideas should align with LIFT’s main technology pillars with focus in areas of:
– Simulation and manufacturing of hybrid materials, such as MMCs or CMCs
– High-throughput characterization for rapid qualification of materials, processes, and/or parts.
– Simulation and manufacturing of functionally graded materials
– Solid-state joining of significantly dissimilar materials (e.g. glass/sapphire to metal, MMCs to CMCs or ceramic to metal)
– Advanced diagnostics for process adjustments and predictive maintenance
