Stratasys‘ contract manufacturing arm Stratasys Direct has been selected to participate in the U.S. Department of War‘s JAMA IV Pilot Parts Program, a multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the validation and deployment of 3D printed components across military platforms. Stratasys already holds Program of Record status with both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). Real-World Impact Across Active Military Platforms Stratasys technology is already delivering measurable results on the ground. The U.S. Air Force integrates the company’s systems across its C-17 fleet to produce microvanes, aerodynamic components estimated to save approximately $14 million in annual fuel costs. Reduced lead times for 3D printed replacement parts further demonstrate that the te
