Abstract: Composite honeycomb that may be contoured to form composite honeycomb structures, which have tight radii of curvatures and/or compound curvatures, and which are suitable for use in high temperature environments. The method for making the composite honeycomb involves using high temperature prepreg to make a flexible composite honeycomb that is formed into a composite honeycomb precursor. A high temperature coating resin is applied to the composite honeycomb precursor to form the high temperature composite honeycomb.

Abstract: A powder composition suitable for use in selective laser sintering for printing an object. The powder composition includes a first fraction having a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) powder having a plurality of particles. The powder composition includes a second fraction having a plurality of siloxane particles that is dry blended with the PEKK powder prior to selective laser sintering of the powder. In some embodiments, the powder composition includes a third fraction of carbon fiber. The powder composition when used in selective laser sintering results in parts with more consistent results and improves process economics.

Abstract: A system for inspecting a part while said part is produced by additive manufacturing, includes an additive manufacturing apparatus having a build tray, the apparatus being configured to fabricate the part layer-by-layer on the tray; an automated tool holder carrying a tool configured to deposit, add or weld layer-upon-layer of material; the tool holder and tray are configured to move relative to one another along a defined path; and an inspection device attached to the tool holder and configured to scan a layer of material in situ. The tool holder alternately arranges the tool and inspection device in a working position so that the tool holder fixes the tool in the working position for depositing, adding, or welding the layer of material and thereafter the tool holder switches said tool with the inspection device into the working position for scanning and detecting defects in the layer of material.

Abstract: Light weight fibrous veils are incorporated into the uncured composite face sheets of a honeycomb sandwich structure in order to reduce the lateral crushing of the honeycomb (core crush) that occurs during curing of the uncured structure in an autoclave or vacuum bag system. The light weight fibrous veils act as friction-promoting layers to reduce the relative movement of the uncured face sheets that leads to core crush during the curing process.

Abstract: Acoustic structures in which acoustic septa are located in the angled cells of a honeycomb for reducing the noise generated from a source. The honeycomb used to form the acoustic structure has cell walls that extend at an angle relative to the honeycomb edges such that the depth of the honeycomb cells is greater than the honeycomb core thickness The acoustic septa are formed by inserting planar acoustic inserts into the angled honeycomb cells to form septum caps which are friction-locked within the angled cells and then permanently bonded in place.

Abstract: Acoustic structures in which acoustic septa are located in the cells of a honeycomb for reducing the noise generated from a source The honeycomb used to form the acoustic structure has walls that contain convex and concave contours which make the honeycomb flexible. The acoustic septa are formed by inserting planar acoustic inserts into the honeycomb cells to form a septum cap which is friction-locked within the cell and then permanently bonded in place. The planar acoustic septum is configured to match the unique shape of the cell contours to provide desired friction-locking when inserted into the cells and desired acoustic properties after being permanently bonded in place.
