Initially, that involved 3D printing metal tool components, details and geometries that would otherwise need to be EDM’d. Solution: Using an EOS DMLS printer and MS1 powder, an insert was printed on a stainless build plate, and pre-plumbed to connect extensive conformal cooling channels to the mold’s cooling system.

What does that mean for the qualification of 3D printed parts? In March of 2020, the Department of the Navy published Marine Corps Order 4700.4 is to leverage additive manufacturing to reduce maintenance cycle times, curb supply chain backlogs, and place manufacturing capabilities at or near the point of need.

This approach should improve cycle time from development to production while improving operating efficiencies. These efforts are an extension of the ongoing work we began in late-2020 to streamline our operational footprint, focus our efforts, and better leverage our rich history in additive manufacturing. million to $7.0
