Agile Mixing Platform Engineered for Transient Compositional Printing

Executive Summary

We will enable a more agile development cycle for three-dimensional printing of functionally graded materials by using additive manufacturing to rapidly fabricate application-specific mixer and printer platforms. This capability will enable rapid development of multi-material structures, and will be useful for mission-relevant applications such as creating gradient-refractive-index optics with high quality.
