VELO3D METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR DEFENSE APPLICATIONS
Increase Battlefield Superiority
Use metal AM to develop cutting edge new technologies for the future warfighter and extend the life of existing assets and respond to today’s reduction in readiness.
Capitalize on large format capabilities with 600 mm (23.6 in) by 1000 mm (39.4 in) build volumes and eight one-kilowatt lasers with seamless overlay.
Achieve Operational Agility
Create a scalable manufacturing supply chain for US production and innovation at global time/ business bases.
Leverage a digital inventory of qualified parts with a secure, digital print file that can be used at Velo3D facilities or in-theater to print parts to original specifications.
Mitigate Lead Time
Reduce the casting queue and get the parts you need quickly to increase readiness by producing high-quality parts with aerospace-grade materials.
Print consolidated assemblies that cut down on labor-intensive, difficult piece part operations to streamline the supply chain.
US-Based Provider
Work with Velo3D, a US-based trailblazer in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology who has demonstrated advancements in critical fields like space, advanced materials, and hypersonics.
Velo3D is compliant with Buy American with more than half of components sourced in the US.

FLOW PRINT PREPARATION SOFTWARE
Flow pre-print software simplifies the metal AM workflow with a comprehensive solution to layout your build, customize parameters, simulate thermomechanical behavior of the print, and conduct detailed inspections of print instructions. With direct import of native CAD, Flow also eliminates many of the issues associated with STL conversion. Users can determine the optimal process for applications by transferring existing parameter sets or creating new ones with Flow Developer.
ASSURE QUALITY CONTROL SOFTWARE
Assure provides unprecedented traceability of machine health, part integrity, and build reporting. Working in concert with Sapphire and Flow, Assure, a revolutionary quality control software, enables visibility into every layer of the build through real-time, multisensor, physics-based excursion detection algorithms.
