Abstract
Additive manufacturing provides attractive opportunities for a wide range of USAF applications. Reduced tooling is ideal for low volume production of unintended spares with short lead time, and geometric complexity can offer enhanced performance for new designs. However, a number of challenges need to be addressed, including process stability, inspectability, and predictability of performance. This presentation discusses USAF AM opportunities, qualification and certification challenges, and programs in progress to enable implementation.
