M2.01 - 3D Printed Thermal Hard Masking
3D printed thermal barrier for high temp processes
Sponsor: Curtiss-Wright
Student Team: Ian Sporn, Mikhale Johnson, Jared McCash, and Subash Panta
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Austin Talley
Using 3D printing technology to print hard masking for parts to be process in high temperature environments. The goal is to replace the current practice of taping individual parts by hand with an expensive specialty masking tape. These parts are then processed in either high velocity oxygen fuel coating or thermal plasma arcing sprays, which are both highly abrasive and at a high temperature. Replacement of the hand masking will save time, money and labor, while increasing efficiency.
