The Institute for Strategic Partnerships, Innovation, Research, and Education (InSPIRE) will serve as crucial hub for the AM Forward collaboration, with ASTRO America hoping the facility will support the development of critical supply chains.
The Fund has been set up to support the White House’s AM Forward initiative, which was created in 2022 with the aim of supporting smaller manufacturers in adopting additive manufacturing technology.
Carpenter Additive highlights the need for high-quality powders and a secure, streamlined supply chain in the delivery of additively manufactured components.
The Canadian 3D printer manufacturer says the funding will enable it to bolster its position in the AM space and expand customer partnerships focused on building ‘future-ready sustainable supply chains.’
The rolling stock engineering provider says the expansion demonstrates ‘significant growth and development’ in an area which includes the use of 3D printing and 3D scanning to address rail supply chain and engineering challenges.
The tool is designed to help users navigate the expansive landscape of 3D printing technologies and materials, and find the best fit for their project needs.
Würth Additive Group has introduced its Digital Inventory Services inventory management product as it bids to enable the secure transmission of intellectual property (IP) to different locations worldwide.
Together, they will open a Centre of Excellence which will function as the 'nerve centre' for Ricoh's Managed 3D print services network, enabling product teams to design, prototype and iterate product designs in-house.
Three and a half years after the onset of Covid-19, people working in supply chain don’t consider what the next major supply chain disruption will be, only when it will be. It is not a source for speculation, but preparation.
The partnership aims to support the MOD’s efforts to build a resilient and sustainable supply chain for the UK, particularly for the sourcing of in-demand materials such as titanium.
