标题: Velo3D and Sandia Sign Five-Year Metal Additive Manufacturing Research Agreement [打印本页] 作者: admin 时间: 2026-11-4 20:20 标题: Velo3D and Sandia Sign Five-Year Metal Additive Manufacturing Research Agreement On November 4, 2026, Nanjixiong learned that Velo3D, Nasdaq: VELO, announced on November 3 a five-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, CRADA, with Sandia National Laboratories. Joint metal additive research will target the defense industrial base and energy infrastructure.
The agreement is a framework, with individual projects subject to separate approval. Potential areas include part reliability, manufacturing repeatability across machines and sites, materials development, workforce development, and technology transfer. CEO Arun Jeldi said Sandia's long-standing defense and energy expertise, combined with Velo3D's metal additive capabilities, could help move technology from prototyping to scaled production.
Velo3D identified consistent manufacture of the same part on different machines as a key industry problem. Its Golden Print File approach aims to reproduce equivalent builds on Sapphire systems across sites. The collaboration will validate this direction.
Nanjixiong's Observations
A five-year national-laboratory partnership indicates that repeatability in defense and energy metal additive manufacturing remains a central research challenge.
