With 3-D battery architectures, one
exploits the third dimension, height, to increase the
amount of
electrode material
within a given
footprint area. Moreover, by using 3-D electrode
designs which minimize the ionic path length
between electrodes, there is the prospect of
achieving high energy and power density within the
small footprint area. In this presentation, the
development of two different 3-D battery systems,
zinc-air and lithium-ion, will be reviewed. These
batteries exhibit high areal energy densities at
reasonable power levels and provide considerable
insight concerning the challenges facing 3-D battery
technology.

2016 Manufacturing Problem Prevention Program
The 2016 Manufacturing Problem Prevention Program (MP3), which will take place Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016,
at The Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California. This year's meeting will highlight recent progress
and lessons learned in the areas of materials for space structures, with an emphasis on assuring quality of
materials made by additive manufacturing (AM), otherwise known as 3-D printing. Last year's meeting had
presentations by government and contractors describing parts that they were already making by AM or
planned to make in the near future. If these materials are to be used in the future satellites and launch
vehicles, it is imperative that the community quickly develops best-practice manufacturing procedures.
Briefings will be presented by representatives from The Aerospace Corporation, SMC, Air Force contractors,
NASA, AFRL, JPL, UDRI, and materials suppliers. Please extend this invitation to members of your
organization who would be interested in attending. We look forward to seeing you Nov 1.
Sincerely,
The Aerospace Corporation
