Additive Manufacturing
for Military & Defence

Enhance operational readiness, flexibility and efficiency, while reducing lead times and strengthening the supply chain.

Print parts and components on-demand, where they are needed, even in remote or austere environments where rapid access to critical components is essential.

With reverse engineering and additive manufacturing, reproduce, repair or redesign legacy parts and equipment. 

Create tailor-made solutions like equipment or tools, and ensure they fit individual needs and operational scenarios. 

Quickly develop and test new equipment, gear and accessories, speeding up the product development process and resulting in improved performance and functionality. 

Additive manufacturing allows for lightweight designs and the optimization of parts, leading to improved fuel efficiency and overall performance. 

Additive manufacturing allows for lightweight designs and the optimization of parts, leading to improved fuel efficiency and overall performance. 

Produce spare parts on-demand, reducing the need for large inventories and ensuring equipment availability during deployments. Support field repairs to reduce downtime and increase mission readiness. 

Cost-effectively produce small batches of items like specialized equipment or components with minimal setup and tooling costs. 

Advanced materials and unrestricted design freedom enhances stealth capabilities to reduce the visual, thermal, and electromagnetic signatures of military equipment. 

Maintain uptime on military equipment in the field by deploying additive manufacturing technology to the battlefield. 

Leverage 3D printing capabilities in humanitarian and disaster relief operations to produce essential supplies, medical devices, and shelters in response to emergencies in remote locations. 

Use 3D printing to retrofit and upgrade existing equipment, extending its service life and incorporating new technologies without the need for complete replacements. 

Explore new ideas, materials and applications that can advanced military and defense technology and capabilities. 

By reducing the need for traditional manufacturing processes and inventory, especially for low-volume or highly specialized parts, 3D printing can be a more cost-effective solution. 

Military personnel are relocated often and onboarding new people is a time consuming and costly operation. Additive manufacturing technologies and platforms with robust training material get new people up to speed quickly and efficiently. 

Design & Simulation Software
for Military & Defence

Streamline design processes, enhance operational readiness, and maintain a competitive edge. 

SOLIDWORKS for military and defence industry

Create complex models and detailed engineering drawings for military equipment, vehicles, structures and components. 

Test the performance and behaviour of equipment under different conditions to ensure reliability and safety. 

Optimize your designs for efficiency, performance, and weight reduction to enhance mobility and reduce fuel consumption. 

Seamlessly collaborate between different departments and agencies involved in your projects, including other software commonly used in the defense industry. 

Explore innovative designs and produce specialized components on demand, wherever they’re needed. 

Leverage product data management (PDM) solutions to manage the entire lifecycle of military equipment, including version control, revision history, and document management.

Create rapid prototypes of parts and equipment for testing and validation to speed up the development process, reduce time to market, and enhance operational readiness. 

Maintain and repair legacy military equipment with reverse engineering where you scan the part, access the CAD file, and then adjust as needed. 

Ensure adherence to strict regulations and industry standards with built-in compliance verification, ensuring that designs meet safety and performance requirements. 

Robust security features protect sensitive data and intellectual properly. 

Equip your personnel with valuable design and engineering skills leveraging the industry-standard software platform, SOLIDWORKS. 

3D Scanning/Metrology
for Military & Defence

Enhance operational efficiency, maintenance practices, and decision-making processes. 

3d scanning for milatary and defence

Capture precise and detailed measurements of physical objects like equipment, vehicles and structures to use for reverse engineering, quality control, inspection and documentation.

With 3D models of real-world objects you can test and validate equipment modifications, upgrades, and new designs before physically implementing them.

Capture accurate data of worn-out or damaged components to recreate exact replicas, extending the life of critical equipment and reducing downtime.

When traditional suppliers may be unavailable, costly, or have long lead times, use 3D scanning to recreate obsolete or hard-to-find components, ensuring equipment availability in critical situations.

Provide detailed inspection and analysis to identify defects, deviations and potential improvements in equipment and components.

By improving maintenance, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes, and optimizing production processes, 3D scanning and metrology can contribute to cost savings in the defense industry.  

Help identify vulnerabilities in military infrastructure and equipment that could be exploited. Use this information to develop countermeasures and enhance security protocols.  

Create realistic training simulations and virtual environments for military personnel to aid in training for various scenarios and help soldiers become familiar with equipment and settings before actual deployment.

Enable precise measurements that lead to tailored solutions for protective gear or vehicle modifications, in order to enhance performance and safety.
