June 21, 2023
The 2023 Department of Defense (DoD) Advanced Manufacturing Workshop is set to take place at the Lockheed Martin Center for Leadership Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, July 18-19, 2023. This year’s theme will be “Advanced Manufacturing Crisis Response in a Contested Logistics Environment”.
The workshop is being conducted by the DoD Manufacturing Technology Program and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Materiel Readiness (DASD(MR)) with support from DoD’s Joint Additive Manufacturing Working Group, America Makes, and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences.
The objectives are to identify gaps and opportunities in advanced manufacturing implementation for contingency operations, and to identify gaps or revisions to the Advanced Manufacturing Crisis Response Playbook. The event seeks to present a unique opportunity for industry, DoD leaders and functional stakeholders to collaborate on key issues that pertain to leveraging advanced manufacturing capabilities to support an ongoing crisis.
