Additive Manufacturing for High-Performance Space and Energy Applications
Sadaf Sobhani, Assistant Professor, Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Cornell University,

Future space exploration missions necessitate novel integrations of geometrically complex, high-temperature and corrosion resistant materials in thermal management and propulsion modules, among others. In this talk, I will first discuss the state-of-the-art in ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) and projects exploring its application to space systems. Next, I will discuss a related effort on applying AM towards meeting ambitious sustainable energy targets. In this work, two-photon polymerization AM is applied to electrochemical reactors that convert of CO2 to valuable fuels.
