US Navy已经安装了第一个PhillipsAdditive Hybrid metal 3D printing solutionon board powered by metal 3D printer developerMeltioand哈斯.
由HAAS提供动力的Phillips添加剂混合动力，将Meltio的激光沉积技术与HAAS CNC垂直加工中心相结合，该中心调节了Bataan船上的磨机。海军地面力量大西洋的指挥官布伦丹·麦克莱恩（Brendan McLane）后来说：“将添加剂制造（AM）引入海军作战中支持准备和自给自足。”
How is the US Navy benefitting from this partnership?
This new project is a step closer to illustrating an industrial-scale useful application in the maritime sector, thanks to Meltio’s accessible wire-laser metal 3D printing technology. Meltio has worked with Haas on other hybrid system projects in various sectors and countries. The Hybrid system is capable of both additive and subtractive manufacturing. The US Navy is combining these technologies in this project for the USS Bataan ship.
的Phillips Additive Hybrid system, which incorporates a Meltio wire-laser metal deposition head on aHAAS TM-1computer numerical control mill, was installed as part of a collaborative initiative between both the Commander, the海军表面力大西洋， 和Naval Sea Systems Command(NAVSEA)技术办公室。的HAAS TM-1framework has demonstrated its reliability in afloat environments aboard numerous aircraft carriers. When combined with the Haas TM-1, the Meltio deposition head offers both additive and subtractive manufacturing capabilities within one system, boosting efficiency and lowering waste when compared to conventional machining.
By permanently implementing the first metal 3D printer onboard a ship, the US Navy enhanced efforts to increase self-sufficiency for equipped ships and crews and decrease supply chain timeframes by harnessing additive manufacturing. Engineers will use additive manufacturing to integrate multiple materials to produce components from 3D model data, typically layer upon layer, as compared to subtractive and formative manufacturing methodologies.

Although stainless steel additive manufacturing onboard naval ships is recent, it represents a significant step forward in offering mariners with industrial-level manufacturing functionalities to print individual components for systems that were previously unavailable without purchasing the overall system at a considerably higher cost.
好处Meltio的引擎3D打印are twofold; it increases operational availability while decreasing demand on conventional and Navy-specific supply chains. Moreover, NAVSEA engineers implemented a second 3D printer onboard Bataan to create polymer (plastic) parts. This printer allows the ship’s crew to print any of the 300+ AM Technical Data Packages created by NAVSEA, which describe the necessary design configuration and processes to produce a component and guarantee it functions properly.
Navsea首席工程师后代Adm。JasonLloyd说：“这些打印机有能力帮助海军克服几十年来衡量的服务生命的船舶和系统的过时问题，并直接有助于提高我们的系统和船只的运营可用性。”
国防部门受益于增材制造业
Recently,Fieldmade，衍生Norwegian Defence Research Establishment（FFI），以及英国Mark3d宣布了一个战略联盟Nomad LW便携式3D打印机in the UK. The announcement signifies a major shift in the supply, support, and servicing tactic for the Markforged-based Fieldmade Nomad LW range. Fieldmade CEO Jostein Olsen said, “Fieldmade AS are specialists in a number of primary areas, our products and services cover Digital Inventory Management, Consulting Services, and the Nomad range of in-field additive manufacturing equipment.” Furthermore, theBritish armyemployed in-field additive manufacturing forProject Convergence 22.
以前，澳大利亚大型金属3D印刷公司AML3D， 和BAE Systems英国跨国武器公司，宣布与澳大利亚BAE Systems达成原型协议。预计合同将有所帮助BAE Systems澳大利亚‘s contract to manufacture nine Hunter class frigates by researching the viability and prototyping of parts. The prototype parts will help BAE Systems Australia accomplish its deal with theAustralian Department of Defenceto develop and construct nine Hunter class warships for theRoyal Australian Navy.
