This project is developing and field testing Internet-based, multimedia-interfaced, and database-supported laser cladding simulation modules and a supporting remote laboratory. It introduces this technology to a variety of two-year college disciplines, including aviation maintenance and welding. This project builds upon the prior work of the principal investigator at Alion Science and Technology that developed and commercialized the robotic direct-diode laser cladding technology as an emerging high-quality and low-cost process for the remanufacturing industry.The project is harnessing synergistic laser cladding across disciplines and applications that have a significant impact on national defense, energy, and transportation industries. It enables industrial laser operation, safety, and part processing training in an authentic robotically guided laser cell, which otherwise would not be possible in a conventional two-year community college laboratory. The project includes a number of industry partners leading the field of laser cladding equipment and applications. Project results are being disseminated through the Manufacturing Education Resource Center, as well as through faculty professional development workshops and two-year college field tests.

该项目正在开发和现场测试基于互联网、多媒体接口和数据库支持的激光熔覆模拟模块和一个配套的远程实验室。它将这种技术引入到各种两年制大学学科中，包括航空维修和焊接。该项目建立在Alion科技公司首席研究员之前的工作基础上，该研究开发并商业化了机器人直接二极管激光熔覆技术，作为一种新兴的高质量和低成本的再制造工艺。该项目正在利用对国防、能源和运输行业有重大影响的跨学科和应用的协同激光熔覆。它可以在一个真正的机器人引导的激光单元中进行工业激光操作、安全和零件加工培训，否则在传统的两年制社区大学实验室中是不可能的。该项目包括一些在激光熔覆设备和应用领域领先的行业合作伙伴。项目成果正在通过制造业教育资源中心以及教员专业发展讲习班和为期两年的大学实地测试传播。
