Additive manufacturing for military & defense
ITAR registered, CMMC Level II self-certified, JCP DD-2345 certified, and DPAS compliant. We support combat aircraft, unmanned platforms, naval surface and subsurface vessels, and ground vehicles with sovereign U.S. supply, controlled access, and documented chain of custody.
American Additive is a U.S.-based contract manufacturer registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (ITAR), self-certified to CMMC Level II for handling Controlled Unclassified Information, and Joint Certification Program (JCP/DD-2345) certified to receive unclassified DoD technical data. Every defense program we support runs on a documented, U.S.-based supply chain with controlled access and a clear chain of custody.
We are on the qualified supplier lists (QSL) of aerospace and defense OEMs and tier-1 primes for production and non-production contracts, registered on SAM.GOV, Section 889 compliant, and Gold Member of America Makes. Every defense part ships under our AS9100D quality system with traceable material lots, build records, and certificates of conformance.
Whether the application is a flight-line repair on an aging tactical aircraft, a Group-3 UAS airframe component, a tactical vehicle operator console, or a forward-deployed printed spare, we engineer it, qualify it, and ship it under the same controlled supply chain.
Built for demanding programs.
Cabin interiors, ECS ducting, avionics covers, and ESD-safe enclosures for fighter, attack, transport, and tanker programs.
Lightweight Group 2–5 UAS airframe components, payload enclosures, and structural brackets in carbon-fiber-filled polymers and DMLS metals.
Tactical vehicle interiors, sensor housings, operator-station components, and mission-equipment integration hardware.
Marinized polymer components for shipboard systems, operator stations, sensor housings, and submarine sustainment.
Re-engineered legacy and obsolete parts for fleets in service well beyond original OEM support: scan, model, qualify, print on demand.
ITAR-controlled workflow with documented chain of custody, controlled-access bays, secure data handling, and U.S.-only personnel on covered programs.
Same-day quote, days-to-ship on grounded-aircraft and line-down parts: priority access for DPAS DX rated orders.
Finished, assembled, painted, and kitted hardware delivered to your line, eliminating customer-side QA and integration steps.
Built on the same AS9100D infrastructure.
