3D Systems has been awarded an additional $9 million under the U.S. Air Force-funded Large-Format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology Demonstrator program, GEN-II DMP-1000. The extension runs two more years and, in the company’s framing, covers the phase that completes the technology demonstration outright. Total project funding now stands at $27.4 million.
Work continues at 3D Systems’ San Diego, California and Rock Hill facilities, the two sites that have carried the program since 2023, with the effort focused on demonstrating large-scale, high-temperature, flight-relevant metal 3D printing. Completion is expected by September 27, 2027.
