From field repairs to high-performance propulsion parts
While the adoption of Additive Manufacturing is still at an early stage in the defense sector, many defense forces are already putting it to work. Applications range from urgent field repairs to high-performance propulsion parts, from custom drone components to maritime infrastructure. These use cases span all operational domains and often reveal how AM not only supports existing platforms, but also enables entirely new capabilities.
On this page, you can browse a catalogue of over 100 applications across different domains.
