Monique McClain: 3D Printing Energetic Materials

Our goal is to advance the manufacturing science necessary to develop state-of-the-art additively manufactured energetic materials (AMEMs). This includes developing complex, multi-material geometries and implementing in-situ monitoring of the manufacturing process to repeatably create high performance and high quality AMEMs. Our interdisciplinary expertise ranges from formulation development, machine customization, process optimization, in-situ qualification, and characterization of mechanical and combustion properties.
