SPEE3D PARTNERS WITH NEW JERSEY INNOVATION INSTITUTE (NJII) TO BRING COLD SPRAY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY TO STUDENTS AND MILITARY
April 30 2024 - 9:00AM
SPEE3D, a leading metal additive manufacturing company, announced
they are working with New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) to
bring Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) technology to its
facility. The school has acquired the WarpSPEE3D printer, installed
at NJII’s Advanced Manufacturing facility, offering training for
students and the military to quickly print large-scale metal parts
on demand through its Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing
Engineering Training (COMET) initiative.
NJII chose the WarpSPEE3D printer to help address research
manufacturing and industry supply chain needs, emphasizing
workforce development training. The WarpSPEE3D is the world’s first
large-format metal 3D printer to use patented SPEE3D technology,
enabling significantly faster and more scalable production than
traditional manufacturing. It builds parts up to 40 kg – or 88 lbs.
– with a diameter up to 1m by .7m or 40” x 30” in hours versus
days. This rapid speed transforms metal printing from prototyping
into a large-scale, on-demand manufacturing solution.
“NJII’s Advanced Manufacturing facility was established to build
a strong manufacturing workforce by providing hands-on experience
with the latest equipment – including additive manufacturing
technologies,” said Sam Gatley, Director of Operations, NJII COMET
Initiative. “We are evaluating the newest equipment for its
potential capabilities in ideal settings such as NJII and remote
locations where the military has pressing demands. The addition of
the WarpSPEE3D printer will help accelerate these goals.”
NJII was founded in 2014 and combines the vast resources of the
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), strong industry and
government relationships, and proven methods to drive innovation
and deliver transformative products and services. NJII accelerates
technology transfer and fosters innovation that has a positive
economic impact in New Jersey. Within NJII, the Advanced
Manufacturing Facility located at 360 Landing is a
20,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing workforce development
center focused on ensuring the opportunities to improve national
security and readiness presented by advanced manufacturing become
reality.
“SPEE3D has been fortunate to partner with some of the leading
academic institutions worldwide, and we’re excited to partner with
the New Jersey Innovation Institute and their COMET initiative to
bring our Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing technology to both
students and the local military,” said Byron Kennedy, CEO of
SPEE3D. “The partnership will allow them to bolster their
manufacturing needs with the ability to print large-scale parts
quickly that would otherwise not be available.”
