从the美国空军’s production ofcost-effective 3D printed cup handlesand3D printed军用飞机厕所座椅，，，，添加剂制造继续提供创新的零件解决方案军事和海军工业。
Lockheed Martin，，，，a Maryland-based aerospace and defense company, hasemphasized its 5Ps Additive Manufacturing Model to demonstrate the potential of additive manufacturing in the lifecycle of a typicalU.S. Department of Defense（DOD）程序。
“We look to insert the right level of additive capabilities at each of our factories to support production and keep our innovation centers focused on development,” said Carolyn Preisendanz, Director of Advanced Manufacturing Technology at Lockheed Martin RMS in anarticleby Robert Ghobrial, Technical Fellow and AM Technology Strategist Lockheed Martin, Training and Logistics Solutions (TLS) division.
3D打印不再是新颖的
According to洛克希德（Logheed）的Ghobrial，在五年前在佛罗里达州建立了洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）的培训和物流工厂之后，有关最终用途应用程序的3D零件插入已增加。
Ghobrial补充说：“我们了解到，3D打印可以成熟成一种广泛接受的制造方法，用于钥匙扣和新颖物品以外的实际零件。”
随着这种增长，3D打印已经从生产小规模的零件原型到高级领域的大型工业组件 - 例如洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin。
The 5Ps Additive Manufacturing Model
洛克希德·马丁（Lockheed Martin）的添加剂制造型号是从提案到标准DOD计划最终用途生产的通信工具。
Proposalis the first area within Lockheed Martin’s Additive Manufacturing Model. By swiftly creating concept models of new military training products, 3D printing can improve client to customer communication.
Prototypecan aid with design validation and proof of concept development. Rapidly producing 3D printed prototypes allow engineers to investigate more innovative designs, which can potentially lead to enhanced product features and improved training capacities.
采购利用3D打印技术降低了供应链风险，时间和成本。国防部可以探索在战场和船上制造的船上制造中的添加剂设备的实施，而不是外部零件。
Productionsupport涉及利用3D打印来创建组装辅助工具以满足质量和产量目标。工作人员具有开发固定装置，夹具和机器保障措施以实现可重复质量产品的能力。
Productionis the final and most important area of this model. According to Ghobrial, Lockheed Martin’s Training and Solutions (TLS) team produces has placed more than 10,000 parts in end-use production in more than 50 different programs.
“该模型是使整个组织参与AM旅程的绝佳工具。” Ghobrial说。
“我们不再有添加剂工程师推动技术。通常，是我们的内部和外部客户问我们如何计划在他们的项目上实施添加剂以推动业务成果。”
Lockheed Martin plans on continuing its journey into large-scale industrial additive manufacturing. Ghobrial adds:
“The ability to produce monolithic structures will greatly reduce training cost to our warfighters, allowing more trainers to be fielded, enhancing pilot readiness in the fleet worldwide.”
