Additive manufacturing capability could generate future efficiencies and cost-savings
Jefferson Stewart, engineer with Technology Innovations at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., looks through a microscope at one of the parts recently fabricated using additive manufacturing. Stewart and other members of the Technology Innovations Branch have been looking at additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing of metals, as a way to make hardware needed for Arnold Engineering Development Complex operations.
