Are you a metal manufacturer in Virginia looking to stay ahead of the curve? ????? Join us for a series of transformative workshops designed to build a common understanding of the benefits and requirements of Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM)! In partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, Virginia Tech, and ASTRO America, the Re-VAMMP program aims to increase the adoption of metal additive manufacturing of Virginia’s defense industrial base, particularly in small and medium size independent machine shops. Department of Defense depots, shipyards, and arsenals as well as its prime contractors rely heavily on independent machine shops with little modern infrastructure to manufacture parts for weapon systems. GENEDGE hopes to help these machine shops function as the backbone of the Defense manufacturing supply-chain.
