This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase II project will complete the development of a support material for Ultrasonic Consolidation (UC) direct metal rapid prototyping and demonstrate the ability to build structures with high aspect ratios or overhanging features. This ability to apply UC to more complex shapes will enable engineers to design important parts more rapidly and less expensively. Basic iinformation developed on the mechanical properties of metals experiencing ultrasonic excitation will also be useful in other industrial processes, such as extrusion and ball milling.The project will use the results from Phase I to identify a user friendly, cost effective, environmentally benign and easily removed support material, and demonstrate that its application can be integrated with the commercial UC platform.

这项小型企业技术转移研究（STTR）II期项目将完成超声巩固的支持材料（UC）直接金属快速原型制作，并证明具有高纵横比或超出特征的结构的能力。 将UC应用于更复杂的形状的能力将使工程师能够更快，更少地设计重要的部分。 在经历超声激发的金属的机械性能上开发的基本信息也将在其他工业过程中（例如挤出和球铣削）中很有用。该项目将使用I期的结果来确定用户友好，具有成本效益，环保且易于删除的支持材料，并证明其应用程序可以与商业UC平台集成。
