Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory (AML)
The Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory features an array of equipment to support materials development and printed sensors. This lab supports existing programs at INL and the universities and opens new areas in printed and flexible electronics as well as trusted Artificial Intelligence for advanced manufacturing. Among the equipment:
- Electrohydrodynamic super inkjet printer, an aerosol jet printer and a suite of instruments to synthesis power feedstocks for ink development
- A dynamic mechanical analyzer, creep tester, dilatometer and materials microscope can also support analysis of mechanical properties and microstructure in printed materials
- Complementary equipment at Boise State University supports advanced manufacturing of nuclear instrumentation as part of DOE’s Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation Program
Advanced manufacturing is a national science priority with emphasis on partnerships among industry, academia and national labs. To help U.S. manufacturing maintain a competitive edge, INL researchers are developing new processes and technologies to reduce the life-cycle energy consumption of manufactured goods and ensure critical material supplies.
