FLEETWERX is collaborating with industry partners and the US military to develop innovative solutions for sustaining Navy forces. With a focus on 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality, the initiative addresses the challenges of traditional supply chains, especially in potential conflict scenarios. Recent tests demonstrated how mobile, field-ready machines can fabricate essential parts anywhere, reducing dependency on complex logistics. For instance, a mobile nitrogen generator minimizes the need for transporting argon gas, thus efficiently supporting steel printing operations in diverse environments.
In early May, FLEETWERX and its partners conducted an event testing how field-ready machines that can make or fix parts anywhere perform under real-world stress.
Stainless steel is a vital material for building and repairing vessels. Having it readily available is key, but the logistics are less than ideal.
