Testaments to Collaboration
“We have a true partnership with NCDMM and a shared focus on advancing the capabilities of additive manufacturing to support the U.S. military. The AMNOW Program, launched in 2019, was pivotal to elevating U.S. Army and Department of Defense readiness through a robust digital additive manufacturing supply chain.”
Joe Paxton, The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Office for Operational Excellence
“At the request of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Manufacturing Technology, NCDMM was directed to provide the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) with a Dust Hazard Assessment to identify and mitigate risks associated with combustible metallic alloy powders used in the cold spray process. This allowed WR-ALC to gain authorization for the integration of cold spray technology at the complex while ensuring safety and compliance.”
Scott Swartz, Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office, Advanced Manufacturing Program Office (AMPO)
“Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) has been an NCDMM partner for 5-years and our collaborative efforts paved the way for a capital purchase for the first in a family of mobile, agile robots designed to adapt to our ever-changing workload. The first iteration of this mobile robot will be used to x-ray the inlets of the F-15. This system will allow WR-ALC to get F-15’s out to the war fighter faster and with higher confidence in the data produced by the system.”
Shane Groves, Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex
“Our 10-year partnership with NCDMM has enabled us to focus on growing our business as a ‘one-stop’ shop. We have in-house capabilities of design, fabrication, machine assembly, and integration to meet the demands of an evolving market. Additionally, through collaboration with other NCDMM contractors, we have been able to reduce our costs and establish the highest quality solutions for our customers.”
Dale Schwoeppe, Schwoeppe Machine & Tool
“Over the last 9 years, we have utilized our deep strategic, technical, and human capital capabilities at Deloitte Consulting to complement the work of NCDMM to strengthen and grow the additive and defense industrial ecosystems. Our collaborative efforts in the AMCPR project provided strategic platforms to ensure national supply chain resiliency and support for warfighter readiness during times of crisis.”
Mark Cotteleer, Deloitte Consulting, LP
“SwRI and NCDMM have partnered to bring innovative science and technology solutions to government and industry. From building frameworks to enable intelligent machine tool tending to transitioning advanced robotics processes to aerospace manufacturing, our collaboration brings ideas to reality.”
Paul Evans, Southwest Research Institute
“UAH has benefitted from the strong network and support of NCDMM since 2016. Our collaboration resulted in the designation of both the Alabama Defense Advanced Manufacturing Community (ADAMC) and the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation and Integration Center (AMIIC), focused on accelerating the adoption of manufacturing technologies and building the Northern Alabama workforce of tomorrow.”
