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.

Phase V will focus on solid state additive manufacturing (SSAM), broadly in the areas of material development, process development, and equipment development for additively building new parts as well as performing structural repairs of critical components. The goal will be to develop, test, and evaluate new feedstock powders to improve quality, consistency, and availability as well as reduce cost.
