Announcement demonstrates Lockheed Martin’s
commitment to the White House AM Forward initiative, expanding use
of additive manufacturing and creating resilient supply chains
Lockheed Martin Corporation, (NYSE: LMT), and Sintavia, LLC,
today announced a collaboration to expand research of metal
additive manufacturing (AM) opportunities as an alternative to
castings and forgings. AM, also known as 3D printing, has the
capability to improve efficiencies in existing castings and
forgings supply chains, and provide parts with a higher level of
detail and greater design opportunities.
Sintavia is an AM supplier to Lockheed Martin, supporting
several programs in the manufacture and production of metal
additive parts. The new collaboration will explore additional AM
technology areas, including laser powder bed fusion, electron
beam-directed energy deposition and friction stir AM.
This enhanced relationship builds on the White House initiative
“AM Forward,” announced by President Joe Biden in May, a voluntary
compact aimed at strengthening U.S. supply chains by supporting
U.S.-based suppliers’ adoption and deployment of AM.
“Sintavia and Lockheed Martin are committed to improving the
capability, agility and competitiveness of the defense industrial
supply base,” said Brian Neff, Sintavia’s founder and CEO. “Our
partnership with Lockheed Martin seeks to identify and streamline
manufacturing inefficiencies, specifically in the production of
flight critical structures.”
“Lockheed Martin’s collaboration with Sintavia demonstrates our
dedication to the White House’s AM Forward campaign in reducing
overall operating costs and strengthening our domestic supply
chain, efforts that are in line with our 21st Century Security
vision,” said David Tatro, vice president for Operations Process
Transformation at Lockheed Martin.
