Research pertaining to additively manufacturing titanium alloys and metal-polymer composites for customized designs Certain projects under development at LANL require customized components that need to withstand highly corrosive solutions that contain highly abrasive particles. LANL also has the need for integrating shielding into certain systems to reduce worker dose. LANL would like UTEP to explore the possibility of printing certain components out of refractory alloys (Ti, W, Nb, V), and possibly printing in metal and polymer layers. Certain components could be as big as ~18-24\" H x 5-6\" W/D.
