TS-073622 — Titanium alloys such as Ti‑6Al‑4V are highly valued in aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing, but they remain difficult and costly to join and build additively. Conventional fusion welding and powder‑based additive manufacturing can introduce defects, residual stresses, distortion, …

TS-073070 — Manufacturers need a flexible way to improve the quality of local material regions without heavy, fixed tooling or shallow, low‑energy peening. Today’s options often deliver limited depth of improvement, struggle on complex shapes, and can overload robots or require rework. A practical solutio…

TS-073051 — Surgeons routinely hand‑bend standard titanium or stainless‑steel fixation plates to conform to patient anatomy, a manual process that is time‑consuming, inconsistent, and prone to gaps, reversed bends, and unfavorable residual stress. Each of these factors can compromise fixation and outcom…

TS-072941 — Current additive manufacturing (AM) methods for high-performance alloys, such as Inconel 718, face significant challenges: poor control over microstructure, high porosity, and limited resistance to harsh environments (e.g., high temperature, hydrogen attack). These issues lead to premature failure…

TS-070330 — The Need The prohibitive cost of consumer-grade 3D metal printers (e.g. AOMetal’s desktop device starting at $59,000 USD), places them far beyond the reach of most hobbyists, educators, and researchers. Thus, there is a significant need for an affordable, energy-efficient solution that enables…

TS-070308 — The Need Current lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials suffer from poor electronic conductivity and limited lithium-ion diffusion, especially under high-rate charging conditions. These limitations hinder the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) in demanding applications such as elect…

TS-067792 — A software tool for optimizing the manufacturing process for metal alloys.

TS-063919 — An articulating end effector for additive manufacturing that utilizes robot-assisted endoscopic surgery to implant synthetic tissues at local defects through “keyhole” incisions in patients. This innovative technology T2019-145 is part of a portfolio that also includes T2017-363. To learn more about both technologies, please visit https://oied.osu.edu/find-technologies and search using the phrase: Endoscopic additive manufacturing of biomaterials.

TS-061848 — The current manufacturing methods for Lithium-Ion Batteries are limited to around 200 Wh/kg. Power density is a factor of the battery construction and is highly dependent on the electrodes.

TS-054013 — The ultrasonically assisted wire additive manufacturing process and apparatus is a new innovation that uses power ultrasound (UA) for benefits in processing molten metals. The UA energy is directly applied in the local deposition pool, which makes this new hybrid process applicable for building parts with any size and geometry.
