Advancing Large-Format Metal Printing for Flight-Critical Components
3D Systems has been awarded a $9 million contract from the US Air Force to advance large-format metal 3D printing for high-temperature, high-speed, flight-relevant applications. The contract extends the Large-Format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology Demonstrator program, which has been underway since 2023. With this award, total project funding increases to $27.4 million, reflecting the Air Force’s continued confidence in 3D Systems’ technology. This development was first reported by GlobeNewswire.
