The U.S. Army has announced that it accelerates the integration of additive manufacturing technologies to provide Soldiers with cutting-edge munitions.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the umbrella term for manufacturing processes that add materials layer by layer to create parts. AM technologies show numerous potentials in terms of rapid prototyping, tooling and direct manufacturing of functional parts and imply revolutionary benefits for the manufacturing industry.
Leaders at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory designated several research programs as essential for future Army force modernization capabilities. As one of the initiatives, integration of additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing, will play a vital role in Army-unique applications.
