This presentation will delve into the groundbreaking use of additive manufacturing technology within the Department of Defence and specifically the Army as a frontline forward deployed solution. As a state-of-the-art solution, Markforged provides defence forces with the ability to swiftly produce critical replacement parts and functional prototypes on-demand, even in remote and challenging environments. This capability is transforming land logistics by optimizing maintenance, reducing downtime, and enhancing operational readiness, all while significantly cutting costs.

Additionally, we will showcase real-world applications and contributions from Australian SMEs that are currently supporting the Australian Department of Defence, highlighting their role in redefining the future of land operations through advanced manufacturing techniques.
