3D Systems, Rock Hill, S.C., announces that it has been awarded a $15 million contract by the Combat Capabilities Development Command of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to build the world\u2019s largest, fastest, most precise metal 3D printer. The printer\u2019s build envelope is planned to be 1000 x 1000 x 600 mm, with the ability to build minimum wall thickness of 100 \u00b5m and layer thickness of 30 \u00b5m. This is a significant increase over current large-scale metal 3D printers, which have a build envelope of 500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The goal is to revolutionize key supply chains associated with long-range munitions, next-generation combat vehicles, helicopters, and air and missile defense capabilities. 3D Systems and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) were awarded funding to create this revolutionary printer and will partner with ARL and the Advanced Manufacturing, Materials, and Processes (AMMP) Program to advance the leadership and innovation of the world\u2019s strongest military.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Implementation Plan, the Army has been using additive manufacturing (AM) for two decades to refurbish worn parts and create custom tools. Once developed, the Army will leverage its manufacturing experience by placing the new large-scale systems in its depots and labs. Subsequently, 3D Systems and its partners plan to make the new 3D printer technology available to leading aerospace and defense suppliers for development of future Army platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to bringing a new metal AM solution to the Army, 3D Systems will also evaluate the feasibility of integrating the new technologies and processes into its existing portfolio of 3D printer technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n
