Service: Material Stock Logistic Command of the Dutch Army, 3D Printing roadmap

Responsible organisation: Material Stock Logistic Command of the Dutch Army (Governmental)

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as "3D printing," is a technology that has advanced considerably in recent years. The Dutch Ministry of Defense has been experimenting with the technology for some time. Their ambition is to embed AM into their operations in a streamlined manner. In order to do so, the army's Material Stock Logistic Command (MatLogCo) has recently presented a roadmap for implementation. A new AM Center will be created within this command division to foster capacity and knowledge building, aiming to cover the institution's needs in the field of AM.
