About this technology
Overview
Physics-based computer modeling software makes it possible to build, examine, and test virtual 3D-printed metal parts that meet the exacting standards of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Both spacecraft and commercial customers benefit from the agency expertise and funding provided by the Small Business Technology Transfer program that helped Buffalo, New York-based Sentient Science Corp. create DigitalClone for Additive Manufacturing.
