The Composites Manufacturing Technology Center (CMTC), a Navy ManTech Center of Excellence, facilitated a large-scale composite additive manufacturing project that resulted in time and cost savings that may drive significant benefits to organizations performing low volume or custom composite part fabrication and repair.
Thermwood was a key development partner in a Navy ManTech-funded program issued to Boeing Research and Technology to produce a large-scale composite AM cure tool. The ManTech program was managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI) for the Office of Naval Research (ORN) with funding provided from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Aircraft Equipment Reliability & Maintainability Improvement Program (AERMIP).
Advanced Technology International has been awarded a potential five-year, $99 million contract to help the U.S. Navy run a center that focuses on developing and transitioning technologies needed to manufacture composite-based naval platforms.
The ManTech Composites Manufacturing Center develops improved manufacturing processes for composite-based components.
Veelo Technologies has been selected by the Navy’s Composites Manufacturing Technology Center (CMTC) and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics to reduce costs on the F-35 Lightning II aircraft program.
