Additional Context
Nikon AM Synergy has gotten a DLA contract under the JAMA IV IDIQ Pilot Parts Program. The contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is a step forward for Nikon in helping the US government produce more parts at scale with additive manufacturing. The DLA is one of the most important parts of the US military, managing any and all logistics, warehousing, delivery, and a lot of procurement of goods needed by the military. From recycling used bullet casings to buying fuel, the 26,000-strong agency is the one sourcing the uniforms, meals, and water for all US soldiers everywhere.
The work will be carried out at Nikon’s AM Technology Center in Long Beach, California, which focuses on naval, defense, aviation, and space applications.
Being part of this system, therefore, is not a science
