3YOURMIND and Phillips Corp. Federal Division have introduced a partnership with Marine Corps System Command’s Superior Manufacturing Operations Cell (AMOC), to ‘enrich’ its digital additive manufacturing capabilities. In keeping with a press launch, 3YOURMIND and Phillips Corp. work intently with AMOC and are ‘wanting ahead’ to constructing onto the combination of 3YOURMIND’s half identification software program with Marine Corps System Command’s Digital Manufacturing Knowledge Vault (DMDV).
The DMDV is a centralised digital repository for the Marine Corps to host information and design options, which AMOC says is crucial for it to scale up its current 3D printing operations. Integrating 3YOURMIND’s half identification software program with DMDV will improve warfighter efforts to approve spare components and parts for subject use in accordance with the businesses.
The trouble is a component of a bigger mission by the Division of Protection (DOD) to reshore provide chains, create distributed manufacturing networks, and maintain legacy tools utilizing additive manufacturing applied sciences.
The two.5 million USD AMOC award follows the completion of a first-year contract with 3YOURMIND and Phillips Corp. Federal Division. In its first 12 months, the initiative accomplished a number of key operational milestones in accordance with the businesses, together with the validation of 3YOURMIND’s half identification capabilities by screening over 10,000 components and demonstrating connectivity to different software program methods utilised by the DMDV.
3YOURMIND says the custom-developed algorithm for the undertaking focuses on 12 key impression elements, which point out the printability and created worth of 3D printing per element.

In 12 months two, the initiative will increase on these milestones and additional configure 3YOURMIND software program with proprietary and third celebration methods equivalent to PTC Windchill utilized by DMDV. AMOC says it’ll additionally onboard capabilities to carry out 2D drawing evaluation to rapidly bulk analyse technical information packages for ‘compelling’ 3D printing use instances.
Previous to this award, 3YOURMIND and Phillips Corp. Federal Division’s current partnership with the Naval Info Warfare Heart (NIWC) Pacific noticed the businesses supply ‘technical experience’ that they are saying allows distributed manufacturing. Because of this partnership, AMOC additionally beneficial properties entry to 3YOURMIND’s order and manufacturing administration software program capabilities.
“Though additive manufacturing is well-known for cutting-edge improvements, I’m inspired by our work with AMOC and Phillips Corp. to allow the Marine Corps. to make use of additive to deal with extra widespread know-how and spare components gaps,” stated William Cuervo, Vice President of Gross sales, North America at 3YOURMIND. “I’m very excited for the chance for 3YOURMIND and Phillips Corp.
