11th Annual Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase

The Military Additive Manufacturing Summit & Technology Showcase (MILAM) is the premier annual defense and aerospace 3D printing conference in the United States. Hosted by the Defense Strategies Institute (DSI), this three-day summit convenes senior military commanders, defense acquisition executives, advanced manufacturing engineers, and industrial prime contractors at the Tampa Convention Center.

The summit focuses on operationalizing additive manufacturing across the Joint Force, accelerating point-of-need fabrication at the tactical edge, securing the defense industrial base, and scaling qualified metal and composite 3D printing for aerospace, ground, and naval sustainment.

Attendees gain direct exposure to next-generation laser powder bed fusion, cold spray technology, directed energy deposition (DED), and deployable containerized printing units built for forward-operating environments.
