Building a desktop LPBF system for printing AlSi10Mg cryogenic heat exchangers. Every design decision is traced from first-principles physics through process parameters to verified hardware.
A desktop selective laser melting (SLM) machine capable of printing near-full-density AlSi10Mg parts. The target application is topology-optimized cryogenic heat exchangers for aerospace propulsion systems.
The project follows a phase-gated development process. Each subsystem must pass quantified acceptance criteria before the next phase begins. The knowledge graph behind the login tracks every requirement, design decision, and verification test.
