AFRL partners with America Makes to refine Air Force aircraft part replacement
A StrataSys 400mc professional 3D printer prints a soda bottle demonstration piece at AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate. The device uses a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology, also called Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). A thermoplastic filament is pushed and melted through an extruder, to be deposited layer after layer to create a 3D printed part. The device is a similar class of equipment that some on the project team will use. (U.S. Air Force photo/Dennis Butcher)
AFRL partners with America Makes to refine Air Force aircraft part replacement
Industry, academic, and government partners join together to kick-off the project, 'Maturation of Advanced Manufacturing for Low Cost sustainment,' April 27, 2016. This Public-Private Partnership model provides unique opportunities to leverage current member investments and to better align the internal research and development activities of industrial, academic, and government partners to a national additive technology roadmap.

Wright-Patterson AFB to sponsor FIRST® LEGO® League Ohio Championship
Left to right, Samson Scheie, 12, Brendan Marx, 12 Samuel Snowden, 9, and Joeseph Yoeder, 11, [cq] test out their robot before competing in a First Lego League tournament at DoD's Starbase building near the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, Jul 22, 2016. The Air Force STEM outreach offices work with the First Lego League, which teaches young students how to build and program robots made of Legos, to not only support STEM education, but also to make young technical minds aware of opportunities to pursue science in the U.S. Air Force.

Exome Sequencing
John Trombley, a biomedical lab technician at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, works on exome sequencing to observe gene expression under hypoxic conditions for Air Force personnel. Gene expression can dramatically change to cope with environmental stressors. Efforts are underway to determine what genes are either up or down regulated under hypoxic conditions experienced by flight personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo/Richard Eldridge)
AFRL Damage Registration Sensor improves high-performance engine exhaust inspections
