Description: LM Group Holdings Inc. (LMGH) partnering with Fabrisonic LLC is proposing a program to investigate manufacturing of amorphous metal alloy laminate composites and cladding of metallic surfaces by using ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), a solid-state 3D metal printing technology.

Benefits: For NASA, the potential applications are: engine components (blades, disc, hubs, inlet guide vanes and cases), hypersonic vehicles (scramjet inlet flap) Bearings Impellers Fuel nozzles Gears Struts, Springs Hydraulics systems.

Metal 3D printing has been widely adopted by several high-value industries, e.g., aerospace and medical. Many of these industries also utilize BMGs in niche applications to leverage BMG properties, e.g., coatings, thin high deformation components, etc.
