When contracted manufacturing partners struggle to overcome pandemic-induced backlogs, raw materials are stuck in ports, and chip shortages halt production lines, the U.S. military turns to 3D printing to get essential parts and components.
is responsible for coordinating the 3D printing initiatives in more than 33 VA facilities nationwide, producing pandemic PPE, custom prothesis, dental tools, and medical models. fulfills orders for additively manufactured parts from throughout the Marine Corps and develops 3D printable solutions that can then be sent to 3D printers in the field. Marines also learned how to 3D print a concrete bunker in just 36 hours that’s big enough to hide a truck-mounted multiple rocket launcher system.
The U.S. Army’s Rock Island Arsenal Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence is just one of the locations housing the military's collection of 3D printing technology. A new additive manufacturing lab for metal parts is set to open at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City later this year.
The ability to bring manufacturing to the frontlines significantly reduces the costs and time of shipping replacement parts from machine tooling hubs overseas. The DoD contracted with metal 3D printer manufacturer ExOne to develop a 40-ft long portable A spare part shortage grounded a B-52 Stratofortress until a 3D-printed battery vent tube put theArmy Research Laboratory
is currently working on a way forward-deployed units can reduce supply chain dependence by using available plastic packaging materials as a feedstock for 3D printers that can then churn out a wide range of parts, tools, and supplies. There’s no shortage of parts and products the U.S. Military needs to ensure are available when and where they’re needed. From 3D-printed spare Humvee door handles to 3D-printed submarine parts, the uses of 3D printing within the military are vast and growing, and perhaps a universal roadmap for building supply chain resilience.
