Velo3D has entered a CRADA with the US Army DEVCOM GVSC to qualify metal 3D printed parts for combat vehicles.

Originally reported by VoxelMatters

Velo3D has entered a CRADA with the US Army DEVCOM GVSC to qualify metal 3D printed parts for combat vehicles. This agreement, paired with a recent 32.6 million dollar defense contract, targets the 12-to-18-month lead times typical of traditional castings. By leveraging domestic LPBF technology, the Army addresses NDAA FY2026 requirements for secure, non-adversarial supply chains. This collaboration represents a systemic move toward on-demand, surge-ready defense manufacturing. 🛡️⚙️ #Velo3D #USArmy #AM #Defense
