“Especially with the variety of robust, engineering-grade materials available for the Ultimaker S5, the impact that these systems will have on the capabilities of our Warfighters to do their work around the world will be unprecedented.”

“MatterHackers’ commitment to NAVAIR is not to just deliver 3D printers to the field and Warfighters, but to provide continued training and personalized support to ensure that the systems are being used to their full capacity for critical applications.” says Mara Hitner, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for MatterHackers. MatterHackers is well positioned for this competition given its extensive relationships with vendors in the industry, proven ability to coordinate complex logistics, existing GSA contract status and past performance with all branches of the military, including a previous contract award to deliver similar 3D printers and training to I MEF Additive Manufacturing Training Center at Camp Pendleton. Robert Kimble, the Naval Air Systems Command’s (NAVAIR’s) Naval Sustainment Group Director, whose portfolio includes Naval Aviation Additive Manufacturing, said “The IDIQ brings the much needed capability of printing parts at the point-of-need to our Warfighters.” The deployment of the Ultimaker S5 desktop polymer system to the Fleet Readiness Centers, Marine Aviation Logistics Squadrons and their associated Expeditionary Units represents the first of NAVAIR’s three-tiered approach to putting Additive Manufacturing in the hands of the Fleet – the others tiers being deployment of Industrial Polymer and Metal part printing systems. The first Delivery Order to be delivered by the end of 2021, was awarded simultaneously with the IDIQ contract.

Up to 75 Tier 1 Additive Manufacturing Systems can be fielded through 2025. This is the largest military contract ever awarded for desktop 3D printers, and demonstrates the Navy’s commitment to widespread adoption of additive manufacturing. The Tier 1 AMS includes Ultimaker S5 3D printers, industrial-grade filament, supplemental IT and support, maintenance strategy, and on-the-ground training facilitated by longtime MatterHackers partner, Building Momentum. MatterHackers, the largest US-based 3D retailer of desktop 3D printers and materials, was competitively awarded a five-year IDIQ contract (up to $5M) to deliver fully-deployable additive manufacturing systems (AMS) to US Navy and Marine bases across the United States and overseas.
