America Makes has launched the Critical Alloy Powder Pilot (CAPP) to bridge the pilot-scale production gap for high-temperature refractory alloys. By prioritizing 2,000-lb batches and EIGA technology, this initiative aims to collapse material development lead times from years to just months. This systemic intervention solves the production cleanout dilemma for suppliers while securing the domestic defense industrial base. Faster iterations will finally align feedstock availability with next-generation aerospace qualification cycles. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #Metal3DPrinting #SupplyChain #DefenseInnovation
