America Makes and NCDMM have announced two project calls totaling 8 million USD to accelerate industrial additive manufacturing for defense. The 6 million USD PADAM 2.0 program focuses on maturing refractory alloy supply chains for high temperature applications. Meanwhile, the 2 million USD AIM 4AM initiative utilizes AI to streamline the qualification process for 17-4PH stainless steel. By tackling material performance and certification costs, these projects pave the way for faster deployment of mission critical components. 🚀🛡️ #AdditiveManufacturing #DefenseTech #3DPrinting #IndustrialAI #SupplyChain
