DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1463997· OSTI ID:1463997

Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) worked with Diversified Tooling Group (DTG) in phase I of this technical collaboration to determine the feasibility of using additive manufacturing to produce automotive tooling using polymer Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) systems and will potentially work with DTG in phase II on metal BAAM systems. The following phase I goals in polymer BAAM were met: a polymer sheet metal check fixture and a polymer foundry casting pattern were completed and shipped to DTG.
