The Technical Achievement Award for 3D Printing Innovation will be presented to a government or industry representative, or group, in recognition of their profound contributions and diligent work in the field of additive manufacturing, as well as implementation in supporting the Defense Industrial Base. The award was established in 2021 by Defense Strategies Institute, to showcase current/future innovations occurring in the 3D printing space, which will benefit other members of industry, as well as government partners.
This award encourages continued efforts by industry and government toward developing 3D printing solutions that will benefit military operations. The award is presented to demonstrate how important AM technologies are in solving supply chain issues, and how each person, or group, is helping to lead the way in transforming how they are used.
