Phillips Corporation to Supply Hybrid Manufacturing Systems to U.S. Army
Phillips Corporation's Federal Division has contracted with the U.S. Army to deliver containerised hybrid manufacturing systems. These systems will support the Army's Metal Working Machine Shop Set (MWMSS) Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Modification program, enhancing expeditionary and sustainment manufacturing capabilities.
The delivery order is part of a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division's Additive Manufacturing Project Office. The containerised Wire Arc Hybrid Manufacturing (WAHM) units combine additive manufacturing and CNC machining, powered by a Fronius iWave 400i welder, to provide high-deposition WAAM capability for field and depot-level operations.
