America Makes, a US public-private partnership focused on additive manufacturing, and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) have announced two project calls worth a combined $25.6 million. The funding is split between the $12.4 million Maturation Initiative for Additive Metals Interchangeability (MIAMI) and the $13.2 million INtegrated System for In-situ Testing & Evaluation (INSITE). Both programs focus on metal additive manufacturing for defense applications, with MIAMI centered on material substitution and INSITE aimed at integrating in-situ monitoring with post-build inspection.
MIAMI is funded through the Office of the Under Secretary of War, Acquisition and Sustainment, Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program. The effort is intended to validate whether metallic additive manufacturing materials can replace traditional alloys in Department of War weapon system components.
