Additive manufacturing (AM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is an innovative process where objects are created one layer at a time.
Key Points:
- Additive manufacturing (AM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is an innovative process where objects are created one layer at a time.
- Northrop Grumman has been at the forefront of adopting this compelling design and build method.
- From 3D printing rocket motors to using advanced materials to produce aircraft parts, the company uses AM across the enterprise .
- Advancements in additive manufacturing are enabling the rapid development of next-generation materials and hardware with reduced life-cycle costs and cycle times to give our warfighters the tactical advantage against emerging threats in complex combat environments, says Larry Ferranto, vice president, maritime/land systems and sensors operations, Northrop Grumman.
