Discussing the America Makes Composites (AACAMS) Project with Steven Floyd and Clark Patterson

from Composites Weekly · host Jonathan Taylor

On this episode, we're looking at a project that could say a lot about where advanced manufacturing is headed next. America Makes has awarded UDRI $450,000 for its AACAMS (Affordable and Agile Composite Additive Manufactured Structures) project, focused on pushing forward the integration of additive manufacturing and advanced composites for aerospace and defense. The DOD has prioritized continuous fiber additive manufacturing (CFAM) for its ability to produce strong, lightweight parts by reinforcing polymers with continuous carbon or glass fibers for high-performance applications. Steven Floyd and Clark Patterson join the show to discuss the details of the project.
