About MILAM
Scaling AM for Readiness, Resilience, & Mission Success
The 11th Annual Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase continues to be the premier event in North America for leaders across military, aerospace, and defense 3D printing. This educational and professional development event helps drive active dialogue surrounding the integration of 3D printing technologies across the Joint Force. MILAM 2027 sits at the intersection of industrial policy and national defense, directly answering the National Security Strategy’s call to supercharge the Defense Industrial Base. Your participation helps shape how the U.S. accelerates the adoption of advanced manufacturing capabilities and translates that progress into real Warfighter lethality, readiness, and resilience.
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!
