Concurrent Technologies Corp. has received a $5.2 million contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a 3D printer intended to support the production of metal components for defense use.
The North American subsidiary of Germany-based additive manufacturing equipment builder SLM Solutions will serve as a subcontractor on the project, CTC said Thursday.
Under the contract, the two companies will aim to provide AFRL a machine with an extended 1.5-meter build envelope on the Z-axis.
“The technical work we are performing for this project includes elements of CTC’s full-service portfolio of AM capabilities including design, testing, post processing, machining, and qualification,” said Ed Sheehan president and CEO of CTC.
