Case Studies - Our Projects for Federal

Case Study 1: K-wedge

  • Problem: Damage to tracking rails on C-17 aircraft due to cargo loading impact.
  • Our Solution: Sourcing of local manufacturing for sheet metal fabrication and assembly. Fabrication of 3D printed parts using ULTEM. Assembly of 3D printed parts, COTS, and sheet metal.
  • Results: Form, fit function testing revealed changes to 3D printed part designs. This is a typical example because once the parts are put together, there are new observations that are not readily assessed using only CAD.

Case Study 2: Marines Combat Logistics Battalion, Okinawa

  • Problem: Need capability while on ship to repair items while underway.
  • Our Solution: Marines trained in design thinking and operation of composite 3D printers.
  • Results: Marines hosted five workshops, which led to over 20 projects. Of these 20 projects, four  were directly applied to Navy and Marine Corps equipment.

AM Projects

A tower for storing radio equipment to prevent damage during rough seas.

Heat resistant (1000F) exhaust rain cap for backhoe.

Cable management system adapted to fit with the current rail system of LW Kevlar helmets. The solution prior was zip ties or tape.

Printed replacement plugs. Typically produced using a mill, but the mill was non-operational. Part takes up to 7 months to procure.

Clips. No replacement parts available. Clip was reverse engineered then fabricated using kevlar / carbon fiber reinforced materials.

Cap to prevent water intrusion. Non-corrosive and watertight.

Case Study 3: Chaff and Flare Canister Load Cradle

  • Problem: The canister is difficult to load. Countermeasures are typically stored in munitions trailers, but Yokota doesn’t have any. So, they have been storing and transporting the countermeasures using empty 20mm ammunition cans, which are padded with pieces of foam, cardboard or another nonconductive material, ensuring the countermeasures do not touch each other during transport.
  • Our Solution: 3DPC brought the design from concept to end-use product. Considerations such as the required loads, material (non-conductive / non-capacitive), and manufacturing options. We worked closely with Yokota YokowerX team to ensure all functional requirements were met. We produced the end use part and turned over all specifications and designs to YokowerX.
