The agreement will see GVSC and the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command(TACOM) adopt the firm’s software to identify parts that could be 3D printed to maintain the M113 armored personnel carrier.
3D printing software developer 3YOURMIND has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC).
Worth $100 million, this five-year contract was signed last year. Through the agreement, NIAR is conducting R&D into advanced manufacturing methods for the U.S. Army’s ground transportation fleet. In addition to digital twin development, the project will see the NIAR qualify metal 3D printing processes including laser powder bed fusion (LPBD) and directed energy deposition (DED)
