: Implementing portable AM systems that can operate directly in the field or on ships, rather than just in fixed factories.
The summit focuses on "operationalizing" additive manufacturing (AM) to enhance national security and defense readiness. Key themes include:
: Utilizing 3D printing to create parts on-demand, reducing dependence on traditional logistics and aging supply lines.
The 2026 Summit took place from , at the Tampa Convention Center in Florida. Core Objectives
