COSM

Our mission is to become a world leading developer and commercial supplier of Electron Beam Wire Feed Additive Manufacturing systems for a wide range of aerospace and commercial industrial applications. We will leverage over 350 man-years of cumulative R&D and engineering experience of successful high vacuum, charged particle beam systems development, primarily in the semiconductor industry. The research innovation funded by a recent NASA grant will, with further development funded by outside sources, lead to a scalable electron beam direct wire feed system for additive manufacturing (AM) with a suite of in-situ metrology capabilities. Along with the fundamental NASA knowledge base into this new and emerging market, this technology will be poised for adoption by several major, key markets. We anticipate that the primary near term market for the electron beam wire feed additive manufacturing systems will be specific commercial applications which can benefit from the ability to:

... “write” parts and shapes not possible with current manufacturing processes ... reduce energy footprint in manufacturing ... lower part cost ... reduce time to market
