Completed TRL 4 (started at 2, targeting 4)
The objective of this project is to address the 3-D printing skill needs and enhanced innovative culture needs identified above as well as support the small, mobile test stand project with 3-D modelled ideas of thrust takeout structures for possible consideration.
Project Benefits include 1) an outreach pilot effort engaging students to learn 3-D printing skills and engineering principles; and 2) an in reach effort providing training in 3-D printing through our HIVE collaborative, innovative workspace which has 3-D printers.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
