Glenn Daehn Leads Study on Metamorphic Manufacturing
A new study focused on Metamorphic Manufacturing made its debut as some of the greatest champions of material science converged at TMS 2019 in San Antonio.
Dr. Glenn Daehn, Mars G. Fontana Professor of Metallurgical Engineering with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, was the study team lead. The study, entitled Metamorphic Manufacturing: Shaping the Future of On-Demand Components, was a collaborative study of a new manufacturing technology conducted by TMS on behalf of the U.S. Office of Naval Research and the Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow (LIFT) manufacturing institute. Another Ohio State materials expert, Ed Herderick, PhD, was also a member of the study team. Dr. Herderick is the Director of Additive Manufacturing for Ohio State's Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME).

Study Released on a Revolutionary New Manufacturing Technology
Study Released on Metamorphic Manufacturing as the Next Potential Revolution in Digital Manufacturing
Metamorphic Manufacturing follows computer numerical control (CNC) machining and additive manufacturing as potentially the next wave of digital manufacturing, by combining the incremental deformation of a metalsmith with the precision and control of intelligent machines and robotic systems.
The goal of Metamorphic Manufacturing: Shaping the Future of On-Demand Components, is to help jump-start this potentially disruptive technology. The study was conducted by TMS on behalf of the U.S. Office of Naval Research and the Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow (LIFT) manufacturing institute. It convened a team of internationally recognized experts to identify key challenges and needs and make specific recommendations for addressing them, in order to help enable full development and widespread adoption of this technology.
The study [was] formally released at the TMS 2019 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in San Antonio, Texas where its authors [were] available for questions and conversation on their thought provoking new study.
