NOS @ The Table

We are excited that our Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Rhoads, is representing the Next Offset Solutions Team at the Purdue Symposium on Ethics, Technology and the Future of War and Security today.

Next Offset Solutions, Inc. Advances in xTechSearch

Next Offset Solutions, Inc. has been named an awardee in Phase I of the Army Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) and will pitch their technologies to Army and Department of Defense subject matter experts in the coming weeks during Phase II. Our team is eager to continue on this path towards collaboration as a defense partner to tackle Army modernization challenges. More information regarding xTechSearch can be found here.

3D Printing of Highly Viscous Materials

The team at Next Offset Solutions is proud to announce advancements in the area of viscous printing. Learn more here. This video is the product of Purdue University.

Can you send materials like clay through a 3D printer? Purdue University researchers have discovered a way to vibrate the print nozzle using ultrasonic waves, reducing the friction enough to allow extremely viscous materials to be printed with 100 micron precision. This allows the creation of customized solid rocket propellants, pharmaceuticals, biomedical implants, foodstuffs, and more.

Inkjet Printed Nanothermite

The technology and personnel of Next Offset Solutions was highlighted in a recent video describing exciting new technologies in the fields of energetic material and additive manufacturing. Find out more here. This video is the product of Purdue University.

Purdue University hosts world class research in Energetic Materials (explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics) as well as Additive Manufacturing (inkjet printing and 3D printing). Allison Murray's project combines the two. Inert suspensions of aluminum and copper can be simultaneously mixed and deposited through a custom-built inkjet printer, allowing nanothermite to be "printed" with high levels of precision and safety.
