About this opportunity
Automated Arc Melting is a breakthrough system from scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory that removes the hands-on work from making new metal alloys. By combining an industrial robot with a proven metal-melting platform, this technology automatically measures, moves and melts materials without constant human involvement. The result is faster production, more consistent quality and safer operation compared to traditional, manual methods. Because the process runs the same way every time, it also generates clean, reliable data that can be used to speed up discovery with artificial intelligence. This system helps research labs and manufacturers move from slow, one-off experiments to scalable, automated materials development � unlocking faster innovation and smarter manufacturing. How I...
