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 VI, a pilot scale feedstock powder production line will be developed. Its focus will be on feedstock powders for solid state additive manufacturing (SSAM) and friction-stir additive manufacturing (FSAM) and scaling up production capability to meet low-rate initial production targets for end use applications that were developed in previous phases.

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.
