The U.S. Army has opened a new Additive Makerspace at Picatinny Arsenal with over 50 printers, expanding its additive manufacturing capacity for rapid prototyping and distributed production.
The U.S. Army has inaugurated a new Additive Makerspace at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, in a continued expansion of U.S. Army additive manufacturing capabilities. The facility, which opened on March 19, provides engineers at the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Centre with access to more than 50 3D printers for rapid prototyping and component production.
The makerspace is designed to bring production capabilities closer to the point of need, reducing reliance on traditional supply chains and accelerating the pace of development within the military’s engineering infrastructure.
