China3D printingNet June 17th,US NavyThe Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) in Florida purchased a new metal unit for its Additive Manufacturing Laboratory (AML)3D printingmachine.
The added model is EOS M290 3D printingmachine, they will enable the NSWC PCD to rapidly produce parts and prototypes to “ensure operational advantage”.
New South Wales State CouncilNaval Surface Warfare Center Panama City BranchPrincipal Chuck Self said:“Use metal3D printingPrinters have many advantages, including reduced time to complete prints, reproducibility, and the complexity of the parts available for printing.
Operations Center Panama City BranchOur goal is to provide warfighters with efficient and high-quality products, and this printer will allow our engineers and scientists to create powerful and complex products in a shorter time frame. “

Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City BranchA U.S. Navy military base near Panama City, Florida. It conducts naval warfare research, and its disciplines include optics, acoustics, mine warfare, and robotics.
U.S. Navy in3D printinginvested a lot of money.In 2018 alone, the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded $2.6 million to introduce metal additive manufacturing parts; Lockheed Martin awarded a $5.8 million contract with the force; Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) ) estimates its fleet depends on using 1,0003D printingpart.
Recently, Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) established the Advanced Manufacturing Business Unit to provide 24/73D printingSupport, the Navy has been applying the technology to upgrade various ships in its fleet.
According to China3D printingInternet understand,purchased by the Navylatest metal3D printingThe machine is the EOS M290 is a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) system that has been used to manufacture products such as portable track pads and hydraulic components. It has a 250 x 250 x 325 mm build volume, uses a 400 watt fiber laser with excellent beam quality in a nitrogen atmosphere, and can make precise, complex and fully dense parts out of powder metal.
operations centerMechanical engineer Halie Cameron said: “The printer is capable of building highly complex geometries that cannot be manufactured by conventional machining.
By combining parts that are manufactured separately from traditional machining, the printer has the advantage of reducing parts.As functionality grows, metal3D printingopportunity may become irreplaceable. “
