Domestic Near Net Shape Manufacturing to Enable a Clean and Competitive Economy

The intent of this FOA topic is to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative manufacturing technologies to increase the competitiveness of the domestic Near Net Shape (NNS) manufacturing base and strengthen the clean energy manufacturing supply chains. The technical and economic viability of the proposed manufacturing technologies will be established by producing a full-scale component as part of the requirements. The component must be relevant to a clean energy manufacturing application and have a minimum weight of 10 tons (20,000 lbs.). Project teams are expected to represent multiple segments of the value/supply chain.
