Project Announcement: Optimizing Facilities to Ensure Reliability and Maintainability of Large Metal 3D Printers – Phase II

The U.S. Army is partnering with industry and academia on a multi-phase CTMA initiative to develop an understanding of the facilities requirements and processes necessary to set up and conduct large metal additive and other advanced manufacturing activities. Specifically, this initiative will seek to use a large-scale 3D metal printer to machine 3D metal printed parts up to the size of a military vehicle without removing it from the print chamber.
