The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to enable the transition of AM throughout the DOD and its industrial base, taking a holistic approach regarding the research of feedstock, advanced materials and processes, automation and controls, post-processing, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) evaluation for the qualification, inspection, and assurance of parts being produced via AM.

In Phase IV, extensive material testing will be performed to validate Solid State Additive Manufacturing (SSAM) for specific rotorcraft applications. New feedstocks will be developed to improve performance. In addition, prototype manufacturing equipment will be installed and tested.

If you feel your organization has the technical capabilities and would like to be considered for this project, please complete the form below and upload your organization’s technical capabilities statement.

Interested Submissions Due by 4/23/24.
