Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

Origin is excited to bring the Air Force the same additive manufacturing (AM) capabilities of our top, innovative commercial customers who demand high-quality, highly-repeatable parts and fast printing and post-processing times in the form of a “shovel-ready� Phase II opportunity. Our work in connecting with the right potential USAF customers included matching commercial needs with similar defense needs. These needs included: the ability to print parts on demand or at volume with quick turnaround times, the capability to produce parts in austere locations, the ability to iterate on a part easily and quickly, and the opportunity to create tools and sustain aging products for lower costs. Origin is pleased to develop a customized Origin system for the USAF for this Phase II project. In addition to the proposed cost to the AFWERX, Origin has an additional commitment of over $2.5 million from private capital to contribute to the success of this project. This private capital falls slightly outside of the consideration for the RAPID award but will assist in the development of synergistic components to this project. The Origin solution will enable the adaptive AM technology that the USAF needs to continue to deliver mission success and air superiority.
