ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITHIN THE ARMY
Abstract
The use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a repair process and source of part production has been around in the Army for at least 20 years. Early applications at the Army’s Anniston Army Depot demonstrated great potential for part reclamation, but the technology ran into obstructions that halted its implementation. Program Management offices, those responsible for each vehicle platform, where hesitant adopting the new technology. Yet, the Army’s research community continued to move forward and explored uses for Additive Manufacturing that could help transform many facets of Army. They envisioned a day where AM would revolutionize how industry and the Department of Defense (DoD) design, develop, and manufacture defense products and weapon systems.
Speakers: N. Joseph Kott III, Supervisory Team Leader for Materials; and Michael Nikodinovski, Mechanical Engineer and AM Technical Lead at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research (TARDEC)
