DMG MORI Federal Services Selected for U.S. JAMA IV Program

2026-06-06

DMG MORI’s Federal Services (DMFS) has been selected for the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) JAMA IV pilot parts program, marking its first project focused on additive manufacturing part production. DLA designed JAMA IV as a qualification framework rather than a fixed-scope contract; DMFS secured a position on a competitive contract vehicle, with specific tasks awarded through subsequent bidding. DMFS will use the LASERTEC 30 SLM US system, a powder bed fusion machine designed, manufactured, and put into production in Davis, California. DMFS claims to be one of the few manufacturers capable of scaling selective laser melting systems. Production will take place at the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Center in Chicago (a $40.5 million investment), with JAMA IV being the center’s first execution contract. As the qualified supplier base for many legacy military parts declines, additive manufacturing enables on-demand production from digital files; DLA is expanding its additive manufacturing supplier network through multiple rounds of the JAMA program.

DMG MORI联邦服务公司入选美国JAMA IV项目

德国机床巨头DMG MORI旗下的联邦服务公司（DMFS）已入选美国国防后勤局（DLA）的JAMA IV试点零件计划，这是该公司首个聚焦增材制造零件生产的项目。 DLA将JAMA IV设计为资格认证框架而非固定范围合同，DMFS获得的是竞争性合同载具上的一个位置，供应商需通过后续竞标获得具体任务。 DMFS将使用LASERTEC 30 SLM US系统执行，这是一台粉末床熔融设备，在美国加州戴维斯设计、制造并投入生产。DMFS表示它是少数能够规模化生产选区激光熔化系统的制造商之一。生产将在芝加哥的先进制造与创新中心（投资4050万美元）进行，JAMA IV将是该中心的首个执行合同。许多老旧军事零件的合格供应商基数正在萎缩，增材制造可从数字文件按需生产零件，DLA正通过多轮JAMA计划扩大其增材制造供应商网络。

Titomic Secures U.S. Defense Component Order from EOS Defense Systems, Delivered Within One Week

Titomic's U.S. subsidiary has received an order from EOS Defense Systems USA to supply critical components for its U.S. defense production program, with delivery completed within one week. The order value was not disclosed. The order involves the rapid re-manufacturing of critical components using cold spray additive manufacturing. Cold spray is a solid-state deposition process used to fabricate and repair metal parts without melting the material. Rapid re-manufacturing and short-lead-time delivery of defense spare parts are typical applications of cold spray technology. This order validates the practical value of cold spray in the defense supply chain. Value for powder buyers: ① Demand for metal powders used in cold spray (aluminum, copper, titanium and their alloys) is linked to the defense repair market—relevant grades and particle sizes should be monitored. ② Domestic cold spray equipment and powder suppliers may find opportunities in the military repair sector. ③ As the order value was not disclosed, ongoing monitoring is needed to determine whether sustained orders will follow, which would clarify the scale of powder demand.

TRUMPF Acquires Cutlite Penta to Expand Laser Tube Cutting Product Line

TRUMPF has announced the acquisition of Italian laser cutting equipment manufacturer Cutlite Penta to expand its laser tube cutting product line. The acquisition amount was not disclosed. Cutlite Penta specializes in customized large-format, high-power laser cutting and ultra-long tube cutting equipment, with 34 years of industry experience. The company will retain its independent brand, manufacturing, and sales operations after the acquisition. TRUMPF, a manufacturer of lasers and laser processing equipment, also supplies lasers for metal additive manufacturing systems. The acquisition will broaden TRUMPF's product coverage in the laser processing market. As a core supplier of lasers for metal AM equipment, the company's expanded scale is expected to enhance supply stability and cost control of laser sources. Value for powder buyers: (1) Laser costs account for a significant portion of metal AM equipment expenses, and changes in the upstream supply landscape indirectly affect equipment pricing, which in turn impacts printing service costs. (2) The direct impact on the powder side is limited, making this primarily a supply chain dynamic. (3) It is worth monitoring TRUMPF's future investment in its additive manufacturing business line, as laser technology iterations could drive improvements in equipment process capabilities.

America Makes Announces 2026 Ambassadors and Outstanding Collaboration Award

America Makes has announced its nine ambassadors for 2026 and awarded the 2026 Outstanding Collaboration Award to Brett Conner, Chief Manufacturing Officer of SME. The organization also elected a new executive committee during the same period. The nine ambassadors, drawn from government, industry, and academia, represent sectors including defense, aerospace, energy, and equipment research, and will contribute to the promotion of additive manufacturing technologies and industry collaboration. America Makes is the U.S. national innovation institute for additive manufacturing, headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio. America Makes' membership and ambassador network serve as a key channel for U.S. additive manufacturing policy, standards, and program funding. Its annual project selections reflect the direction of U.S. industry resource investment. Value for powder buyers: ① Monitor America Makes' annual projects and challenge themes (e.g., collaborations with the U.S. Department of Defense's OIB), as these directions often drive demand for specific materials and processes. ② Companies doing business in the U.S. can leverage the ambassador network to gain insight into technology promotion priorities. ③ Evolutions in the U.S. standards system may impact powder certification requirements for exported products, so ongoing tracking is essential.
