The U.S. Navy has implemented 3D printed ABS visors for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System, reducing procurement lead times from years to weeks. This initiative cuts unit costs by 65% from the legacy $870 price, addressing an annual need for 40 units. By formalizing a technical data package, the Navy is transitioning to a digital inventory model for on-demand production. This shift ensures fleet readiness by bypassing traditional supply chain bottlenecks. ⚓🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #USNavy #DefenseTech #3DPrinting
