Boeing and Northrop Grumman Commit to Additive Manufacturing Initiative

The two aerospace companies have joined Additive Manufacturing Forward (AM Forward), an effort to help US suppliers increase their use of additive manufacturing.

We’re seeing a number of efforts in the aerospace industry to increase the use of additive manufacturing. The programs range from the White House program, AM Forward, to defense programs designed to increase the use of AM. The idea is to utilize the benefits of AM to improve US manufacturing.

AM Forward is an effort from the White House to increase the use of advanced manufacturing processes. “A priority of this Administration is to lower the cost of the goods and services that families rely on, and one of the best ways to do that is to make more things in America, with more secure and more resilient supply chains,” said Sue Helper, senior advisor for industrial strategy at the White House, in a statement. “AM Forward focuses on additive manufacturing to help us achieve these goals.”
