ABOUT MILAM

The 10th Annual Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase is the largest military, aerospace, and defense 3D printing event in North America. This educational and professional development event directly supports current DoD/Federal Government priorities and initiatives regarding the integration of 3D printing technologies across the Joint Force. It reinforces the SECDEF’s directive on the need for the military services to extend 3D printing and additive manufacturing to operational units by 2026.

Each iteration, this forum serves as a crucial platform for military, government, international partners and industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and strategize on integrating additive technologies. Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore how additive manufacturing (AM) is shaping the future of defense industrial base, by enhancing battlefield lethality and supply chain resilience. Join us to engage in active dialogue, expand your network, & explore diverse industry products and services, that are driving the future of global AM technologies!
