U.S. Army 3D Print Vehicle Parts

Why the U.S. Army 3D Print Vehicle Parts with Markforged:

A major training base for the U.S. Army provides realistic joint and combined arms training to develop the U.S. Army’s soldiers and leaders for the battlefield. They train soldiers for upcoming deployments, wherever that may be in the world.

One U.S. Army unit has already saved over $244,000 in costs for just one application using their four Markforged printers, and have ensured other critical parts are readily available at the point of need.

By using additive manufacturing technology, the U.S. Army is able to create readiness factors that decrease downtime.
