cation for the operation of the new additive manufacturing
platform. ASTRO America has already kicked off the project
with an Industry Day featuring both prospective machine
vendors and leading vehicle builders.
Monolithic hulls for combat vehicles have well-established
advantages - especially in survivability and weight savings -
but traditional manufacturing processes are not cost-effective
or adaptable to full production, especially when multiple vehicle
platforms are put into play.
Aaron LaLonde, Additive Manufacturing SME, U.S. ARMY -
DEVCOM GVSC, and the Army TPOC for the Jointless Hull Project,
commented, " Advanced manufacturing methods that are capable
of enabling innovative part designs and concepts have
tremendous value in achieving part, component and, ultimately,
vehicle concepts to provide warfighters and systems with leading
performance advantages. This project will scale the benefits of
metal additive manufacturing to a size range that will allow the
benefits of the technology to be realized on larger system scale
parts and enable next-generation vehicle performance. "
" This is not a research project for either hardware, software
or materials, " said Jason Gorey, ASTRO America's Executive
Director. " This is a direct implementation project where we
scale existing but advanced methodologies to the required
hull-scale size. We will be working with equipment vendors as
well as system integrators to deliver on this project. "
" As a national manufacturing innovation institute, we help
advance technology from concept to use by the warfighter as
quickly as possible, " said Nigel Francis, Chief Executive Officer
and Executive Director, LIFT. " Developing the 'jointless
hull' is also aligned with our mission of driving American
manufacturing into the future by connecting materials to
processes and to the systems involved. "
ASTRO America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that
advances defense R&D to transition meaningful manufacturing
technology into production through federally sponsored
contracting, cooperative research, and other transactions.
LIFT, operated by the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing
Innovation Institute, is a Detroit-based, public-private
partnership between the Department of Defense, industry
and academia, committed to the development and
deployment of advanced manufacturing technologies, and
implementing talent development initiatives to better prepare
the workforce today and in the future. LIFT is funded in part
by the Department of Defense with management through the
Office of Naval Research.
