About James Farnsworth
In 2021, James Farnsworth led the redesign of the fuel injector manifold for NASA’s Artemis upper-stage engine, cutting mass by 37% while passing 12,000 psi thermal-cycle validation, using topology-optimized lattice structures printed in Inconel 718 on a dual-laser EBAM system. He doesn’t treat build orientation as an afterthought; he treats it as a thermomechanical boundary condition, logging real-time melt-pool emissivity data from in-situ high-speed IR cameras to adjust scan strategies mid-build. His notebooks are filled not with equations alone, but with sketches of failed part geometries annotated with metallurgical root causes: 'delta-T too steep → columnar grain lock-in → hot tearing at lattice node.' He’s testified before the ASTM F42 committee on powder reuse limits for flight-critical titanium alloys, arguing that oxygen uptake isn’t linear, it spikes nonmonotonically after Cycle 4 due to cumulative surface oxide fracturing. His work lives where simulation ends and spatter physics begins.
