MOBILE, Ala. - Austal USA representatives joined Navy and elected leaders to celebrate the opening of the Navy’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) in Danville, Va., on Oct. 5. The AM CoE will promote growth and resiliency of the Navy’s submarine industrial base through establishment and expansion of dedicated additive manufacturing and non-destructive testing (NDT) capabilities and other supporting technologies. Recognizing the need to increase manufacturing capacity within the industrial base, the Navy established the AM CoE to design a “build-to-print” capability aimed at long lead time parts, build production reserves and deliver Virginia and Columbia-class submarines. Austal USA will lead a consortium of experts, providing program management and oversight. Consortium partners are Phillips, Industrial Inspection and Analysis, IALR, FasTech, Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing, University of Virginia and The Spectrum Group.
