3D Systems Taking Part in Two Projects for CCDC Army Research Laboratory
ROCK HILL, SC—3D Systems is involved in two projects for the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Army Research Laboratory. The first is the creation of the world’s largest powder-metal 3D printer. The other focuses on topical optimization of additive manufacturing to improve the Army's 3D-printed products.
3D Systems was awarded a $15 million contract in the third quarter of 2019 for the metal 3D printer project. Since then, the company's engineering and applications experts have developed a nine-laser metal 3D printer that measures 1 meter by 1 meter by 600 millimeters, making it the largest of its kind in the industry.
