Exponential Growth of Requirements
The Army's 3D printing efforts are driven in part by the exponential growth of requirements coming from units in Europe. As the service expands its operations in Europe, it has encountered a significant increase in requests for 3D printed parts.
To address this growth, the Army has been working to develop a more robust 3D printing capability, which will enable it to produce parts more quickly and efficiently. This includes the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing and advanced manufacturing techniques to improve the production of forgings and castings.
