Additive at Scale

09/20/2024

If you’re an early stage company looking for and design, , and scale-up with plastic , reach out to us.

Additive at Scale’s turnkey processes are designed for technology development and tailored by innovation.

We break down tech dev into three simple phases. Here is an example of a “Phase 1: Proof of Concept” where one of our rapidly designed and prototyped 25 units for testing and feedback.

Reach out to learn more about Phase 2: MVP and Phase 3: Scale-up Manufacturing.

Final day In Michigan for : Thank you CRUX Defense for the opportunities to demonstrate and for inspiring collaboration between industry and .

Additive at Scale mobilized it’s capability to where we got to meet with team members from Firestorm and Skypad (https://lnkd.in/gufJkRVq).

Firestorm also leverages for their modular, open-architecture unmanned aerial systems. Specifically, HP’s MultiJet Fusion process. Two common threads:

1) It’s all about supporting the ’s needs and coming together to solve challenges.

2)Additive manufacturing is a key 🔑 enabler that allows technologies to quickly production given the network of printers around the world. 🌎

Chris with brought a (huge hit 😎) that acts as a Mobile Optical System command center which aims to provide and users with custom data visualization for . The product creates a seamless training to operational environment that allows rapid technology adoption. The product can also be streamed live with low latency, allowing multiple users to engage with the .

Day 7 of Northern Strike at the Quarry:

Two and one badass exercise. DVs arrive in helicopters 🚁 and travel up to the top of the Quarry for a brief. First drone (call sign Crux 1) takes off from the beach simulating an indo-pacific environment carrying two sensor payloads: one provided by John Gibson with Air Force Research Laboratory and the other a wearable by Ascent Integrated Tech. After a few miles of flight Crux 1 lands and the payloads recovered. The wearable tech is put onto one of the DVs and data from the other is retrieved.

The convoy carrying the DV’s travel back down the hill and are suddenly ambushed. During this instnave, changes in heart rate and blood pressure were being monitored and a button was hit on the wrist band signaling exact location. Soon after, a soldier radios for medical payload delivery via drone to the designated location 📍. “Crux 2,” another drone takes off from the beach. While in route the drone loses camera feed and calls in for a crash landing to deliver the bag of blood and ketamine. The pilot lands within 30’ of the target, the payload survived, and then retrieved for treatment of the wounded DV.

The medical brought the wounded personnel back to base and the mission was a success.

Day 4-6 of Northern Strike:
Mobilize capability to Michigan National Guard Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center to demonstrate designed for to produce and fly aircrafts.

Some advantages noted that align with the USAF’s Agile Combat Employment doctrine, which advocates operating across a network of remote dispersed locations:

✅Mobile factory setup time was 1 hour
✅Additive process parameters were established on the edge for lightweight foaming material.
✅Successful printing during rain showers, wind, and varying temperatures.
✅Lights out manufacturing for over 72 hours with only 1 build failure.
✅Design modifications were made on the fly to better install carbon fiber struts and decrease assembly time.

Modules like this and others we are working on enable the war fighter and can be rapidly unloaded, moved, and deployed to contingency locations such as small airfields and to the edge of a battle area. This is how supports

Day 1-3 of Northern Strike:
Axle Box Innovations and CRUX Defense facilitates the deployment of two technologies, a ground robot to assist in logistics and a integrated advanced rapid manufacturing solution (ARMS), into a maintenance hangar at Oscoda-Wurthsmith Airport to begin drone frames in preparation for Northern Strike 24-2.

Printing low volume end-use parts out of BASF PC/ABS FR material for these cells designed by the Texas A&M Racing | Formula SAE E-team.

“This filament is a V-0 blend of Polycarbonate and ABS – two of the most used thermoplastics for & applications. The combination of these two materials results in a premium material with a mix of the excellent mechanical properties of PC and the comparably low printing temperature of ABS. Combined with a halogen free flame retardant, parts printed with Ultrafuse® PC/ABS FR Black feature great and , higher resistance than ABS and can fulfill the requirements of the UL94 V-0 standard.”

Autonomously Track Down Wildfires is bringing together incredible innovators from , L5VEL, Skyfire, W.S. Darley, Blueforce Development, Emergent, and our Wildfire Advisory Council. 

Wildfire is a 4-year, $11 million competition incentivizing the innovation of firefighting technologies that will end destructive wildfires so that humanity and beneficial wildfire can safely co-exist. The prize aims to transform current wildfire management approaches through the development of new technologies that can rapidly and accurately detect, characterize, and respond to wildfires before they become destructive.
