All parts require an appropriate six-digit source, maintenance and recoverability (SMR) code and exist in a digital repository for information sharing and tracking. The DoD has high interest to make more 3D printed parts, primarily due to the supply chain issues that have become a major bottleneck,” Bredael said.

Part production is often hampered by a single operation — often a single critical feature that, for whatever reason, creates a bottleneck that dramatically alters the profitability of a job. Secondly, the drills had to handle the cutting conditions needed to reliably produce holes fast enough to eliminate the production bottleneck.
