USS Theodore Roosevelt, Marine Corps Incorporate 3D Printing Technology
During RIMPAC 2026, the USS Theodore Roosevelt became the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to deploy a containerized hybrid-metal 3D printing system at sea. Developed through the Naval Postgraduate School's Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) and facilitated by FLEETWERX, the capability enables critical metal components to be manufactured and repaired onboard, reducing lead times and increasing operational readiness. The effort is part of the Department of Defense's largest-ever demonstration of advanced manufacturing, integrating 3D printing and autonomous delivery technologies across the exercise. Learn more.
