Abstract: Apparatus and methods for additively manufactured structures with augmented energy absorption properties are presented herein. Three dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing structures may be constructed with spatially dependent features to create crash components. When used in the construction of a transport vehicle, the crash components with spatially dependent additively manufactured features may enhance and augment crash energy absorption. This in turn absorbs and re-distributes more crash energy away from the vehicle's occupant(s), thereby improving the occupants' safety.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and method for manufacturing a structure are disclosed. The structure includes a first portion, a second portion, and a structural joint. The apparatus is configured to receive instructions for printing the structural joint. The instructions are based on a data model of the structural joint. The apparatus is also configured to receive the first portion and the second portion, the first portion having a first conical tip and the second portion having a second conical tip. The apparatus is further configured to receive material. Additionally, the apparatus is configured to print the structural joint based on the instructions. The printing may include spray forming the material to produce the structural joint. The structural joint connects the first portion to the second portion.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and method for manufacturing are disclosed. In an aspect, the apparatus may be a cold-spray nozzle. The cold-spray nozzle may include a variable diameter convergent part. The cold-spray nozzle may also include a variable diameter divergent part. The variable diameter divergent part may form a diffuser. Additionally, The cold-spray nozzle may include a ring portion. The ring portion may couple the variable diameter convergent part and the variable diameter divergent part. Additionally, the ring portion may control the opening to the diffuser.
