Joint Additive Manufacturing Working Group
DoD’s Vision for the Use of Additive Manufacturing
Additive Manufacturing enables a more agile, adaptable and aligned defense supply base to outpace adversarial threats.
The Joint Additive Manufacturing Working Group (JAMWG) is a cross-cutting DoD community focused on communication and coordination among the Services and Defense Agencies to maximize the application of additive manufacturing in support of the warfighter and sustainers. Formalized in July 2017 and led by the OSD ManTech Program, this group consists of leaders from Military Services and Defense Agencies that engage across the Department and other Federal agencies, industry, and academia to reduce barriers to adoption of innovative AM technologies that benefit DoD and the warfighter.

Stakeholder Councils
The JAMWG created several subgroups of subject matter experts each led by a cross-organizational team to work on common areas of interest:
Data and Model Sharing Stakeholder Council
Qualification and Certification Stakeholder Council
Education and Workforce Development Stakeholder Council
Cybersecurity Working Group
Impact and Outcomes

DoD-wide AM Policy
Increased alignment of AM activities and the development of a
DoD wide AM Strategy
Created a robust network of 200+ DoD additive manufacturing experts and users
Connected warfighters to 3D models across DoD through the development and launch of a secure web based system, the
Joint Additive Manufacturing Model Exchange (JAMMEX)
(CAC enabled)
Launched joint R&D projects to create
Advanced Tools for Rapid Qualification
with industry and academic partners
Supported industry standards development in partnership with the
Defense Standardization Program Office
Shared best practices on workforce development and training. JAMWG has partnered with the
Defense Acquisition University’s Additive Manufacturing Community of Practice
to share information and resources
