America Makes has launched a $1.7 million project, JAQS-SQ, to train and qualify additive manufacturing (AM) suppliers for defense purposes. The initiative aims to address challenges hindering wider adoption of AM in defense, such as the lack of strong training programs and slow qualification processes. By supporting up to five awards, JAQS-SQ seeks to expedite the entry of non-traditional suppliers into the defense market. The project, in collaboration with the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining, is part of a broader effort to strengthen the U.S. defense supply chain by improving AM qualification and adoption at scale. Interested applicants must join America Makes by September 18 and submit proposals by October 2, with awards expected to be announced on November 10.
