FSU InSPIRE

It's official! ASTRO America has acquired two state-of-the-art metal additive manufacturing?systems housed at Maritech Machine Shop. The systems will enable advanced research, development, and manufacturing in support of ASTRO and InSPIRE initiatives, focused on high-value aerospace and defense systems. Ina true win/win, this new capability?will also enable?Maritech,?a leading precision machine and fabrication shop, to explore and implement metal additive manufacturing at little-to-no risk.?
