The US Army has officially opened an Additive Makerspace at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, to expand its AM and rapid prototyping capacity for engineers at the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Center.
The premises, housed under the Analysis, Materials, and Prototyping Directorate (AMPD) within the Armaments Center’s Munitions Engineering Technical Center (METC), contain more than 50 3D printers that offer a range of printing technologies and material options.
“The space is here for the Picatinny community to work on prototype design and manufacturing,” stated Matthew Clemente, Mechanical Engineer at AMPD. “It serves to add additive manufacturing capacity to the community’s projects.”
