The 1st Marine Logistics Group is transforming sustainment via expeditionary fabrication labs that produce critical parts at the point of need. By reverse-engineering an ACV dust cover seal, Marines reduced costs from 4,100 dollars per assembly to just 12 cents, saving 615,000 dollars. Beyond hardware, the lab 3D prints custom medical casts for rapid delivery via MV-22 Osprey. This shift to distributed manufacturing eliminates supply chain delays and secures combat readiness in dispersed environments. 🛠️📦⚓ #AdditiveManufacturing #Logistics #3DPrinting #USMC #TechInnovation
