Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) on a project chosen to receive funding through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Technology Commercialization Fund (TFC) project solicitation. The 2021 TFC project selections represent 12 DOE National Labs across the nation and are supported by partners in 25 states and four countries.
The collaboration between ORNL and ZEISS, ‘Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Enable Reliable Non-Destructive Characterization of Additively Manufactured (AM) Parts Using X-ray CT,’ is led by Dr. Amir Koushyar Ziabari, an R&D staff scientist at ORNL. ZEISS and ORNL currently have a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to develop and commercialize a comprehensive powder-to-part characterization methodology for additive manufacturing using the unique ZEISS 3D ManuFACT Solution — a holistic, integrated inspection workflow.
