Scaling Additive Manufacturing Without Sacrificing Trust
Additive manufacturing (AM) has the power to transform defense sustainment—but only if every printed part can be trusted. As AM expands across depots, ships, and expeditionary environments, risks like file tampering, counterfeit parts, and incomplete lineage grow alongside it. Without a secure digital thread, speed and flexibility quickly become liabilities instead of advantages.
Our Ebook, Additive Manufacturing at Scale, breaks down how SIMBA Chain enables secure, auditable AM workflows for the Department of War. From design file integrity and unique part identity to non-repudiable maintenance records and qualification-ready provenance, the paper outlines how a defense-grade trust layer makes distributed, point-of-need production both scalable and certifiable.
