Vision
Our vision is to deliver a Digital Twin (DT) platform comprising a powerful set of integrated computational models and simulation tools that can be used with confidence by NASA researchers and practitioners for Q&C of MAM processes and products. This DT will promote a holistic, cradle-to-grave model-based approach for unraveling complex subtleties in the materials-processes-structure-property performance and life (MPSPPL) linkages in the metals additive manufacturing (MAM) domain.

Mission
The goal of the IMQCAM is to develop an end-to-end model or digital twin of the LPBF process, connecting feedstock, 3D printing conditions, and post-print microstructural state to part response and location-specific properties, as well as fatigue life that is crucial to the aerospace community.
