Additive Manufacturing

Abstract

This program element supports cost associated with the research and development of Marine Corps Systems Command policy, acquisition process modifications, and prototyping to support the USMC Additive Manufacturing (AM) Initiative under the direction of DC I&L. The USMC Additive Manufacturing Initiative is an initiative intended to give Marine units access to additive manufacturing techniques to allow them the opportunity to exercise innovation in the resolution of issues affecting unit combat readiness. This PE will support of the development of procedures to enable the approval and manufacturing of items requested from Marines. This involves the development of Marine Corps Policy, an approval process, engineering analysis and testing, establishment of facilities to produce prototype additive manufactured parts and development of training to support the Marine Corps use of additive manufacturing. This initiative incorporates development of strategic partnerships with other DoN Systems Commands and field activities to develop DoN standards, processes and other associated acquisition activities to support future use of additive manufacturing in DoN acquisition and readiness areas.
