Advancing Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, or AM, is also known as 3D printing. Lockheed Martin is collaborating with Sintavia to expand research of metal additive manufacturing. AM has the capability to improve efficiencies in existing castings and forgings supply chains, and provide parts with a higher level of detail and greater design opportunities.

This enhanced relationship builds on the White House initiative AM Forward, a voluntary compact aimed at strengthening U.S. supply chains by supporting U.S.-based suppliers adoption and deployment of AM.
