Summary
What This Bill Does
The bill imposes prohibition on DoD operation, procurement, and contracting of additive manufacturing machines from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, establishes dual-use advanced manufacturing hubs co-locating public and private stakeholders with shared infrastructure, and requires doD advanced manufacturing program to qualify and approve 1,000,000 parts using advanced manufacturing by December 2027. It relies on compliance mandates, procurement rules, reporting requirements, and trade restrictions. The main policy areas are Defense and Labor.
Who Benefits and How
Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs) could gain revenue opportunities, Metal additive manufacturing companies could gain revenue opportunities, and Domestic additive manufacturing companies could gain revenue opportunities.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Foreign additive manufacturing companies from covered countries (China, Iran, DPRK, Russia) could lose revenue opportunities, Foreign advanced manufacturing equipment suppliers could face higher barriers, and Department of Defense would take on compliance duties.
Key Provisions
- Imposes prohibition on DoD operation, procurement, and contracting of additive manufacturing machines from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
- Establishes dual-use advanced manufacturing hubs co-locating public and private stakeholders with shared infrastructure.
- Requires doD advanced manufacturing program to qualify and approve 1,000,000 parts using advanced manufacturing by December 2027.
- Requires program to produce replacement parts for military systems with diminishing manufacturing sources using additive manufacturing, including new IP licensing agreements.
- Requires program to additively manufacture commonly used metal parts (titanium, stainless steel, aluminum) across all military departments with assessment of long-lead-time and sole-source parts.
