About 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is transforming how critical components are designed, produced, and deployed. By building parts layer by layer from metal powder, AM enables complex geometries, part consolidation, and rapid development — often with reduced lead times, less waste, and improved performance over traditional methods.

At A3D, we use metal AM to deliver high-performance components for propulsion systems, energetic devices, and structural applications — where strength, precision, and reliability are essential.

Used correctly, additive manufacturing is a force multiplier: enabling faster iteration, lighter assemblies, and mission-ready capability. But when misapplied, it can become a risk multiplier — increasing cost, complexity, or failure rates. That’s why we partner closely with customers to assess suitability, select the right approach, and ensure every part we print is fit for purpose.
