Abstract

Innovations in CAD tools and processes will enable additive manufacturing to continue to mature as a revolutionary process. Ursa Major Technologies utilizes additive manufacturing extensively in its line of rocket propulsion products and uses conventional CAD tools and processes. However, some parts require non-conventional design information. Examples of additive part and process flows will be presented to highlight challenges and opportunities for future CAD innovation. BIOGRAPHYDavid Gregory is the Chief Technology Officer for Ursa Major Technologies, a Colorado-based manufacturer of turnkey propulsion solutions for a wide range of vehicles sized for servicing the micro-and nano-satellite launch community. He oversees technical and engineering processes for Ursa Major's Oxidizer Rich Staged Combustion engine family in a fastpaced R&D environment.

A Systems Approach to Establishing an Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Institute

“…An agile organization is characterized by the ability to move quickly and easily, with grace, and implies responsiveness. Agility and responsiveness provide the capability to quickly move from customer wants and needs to actionable system requirements used to develop innovative solutions [18]. In the agile and responsive organization, the flow of information and product are not impaired or constricted throughout the realization process.…”
