How Surface Engineering Fills in the Gaps that AM Leaves Behind

Scratching the Surface: How Surface Engineering Fills in the Gaps that AM Leaves Behind

By : Justin Michaud ,

Prior to 3D printing’s arrival on the manufacturing scene, the US military supply chain was often met with lengthy and arduous timelines for critical asset production. This not only stalled the manufacture and repair of essential equipment within the military supply chain, but it also impeded military readiness, and with high price tags to boot.

When the military began implementing 3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, it was finally able to produce and install parts on demand, shortening the length of time it takes to repair and deploy machinery, as well as increasing preparedness and readiness in the field. But even game-changing innovations can come with their own sets of challenges.
