Peter Bonacuse, the Analytical Science Group Lead at NASA. He looks forward to using the system’s enhanced capabilities. Bonacuse will analyze advanced materials like ceramic matrix composites and additively manufactured components.UES developed Robo-Met from AFRL technologies. Robo-Met automates the metallography and serial sectioning process, giving materials investigators unique insights. This materials characterization system sits in the Analytical Science Group. It will offer users at Glenn new and improved technology to map microstructures in 3D.
