Radian Forge is investing 10.5 million dollars in Portsmouth, Virginia, to scale Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for the U.S. Navy. This expansion will create 53 jobs and focuses on replacing high-lead-time maritime forgings with large-scale 3D printed components. The move signifies a systemic shift toward a resilient defense industrial base that prioritizes speed and localized production over traditional supply chains. This facility proves WAAM is now a core pillar for critical sovereign infrastructure and fleet readiness. ⚓🚢 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Maritime #USNavy #WAAM
