VEXTEC Wins USAF RSO Phase III Contract

The United States Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (USAF RSO) has signed-on for a yearlong Phase III program with VEXTEC. The Phase III program will deploy VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® computational predictive software to USAF engineering teams at the forefront of metal additive manufacturing (AM) for critical sustainment activities. A successful VEXTEC Phase II AM program with RSO catalyzed Air Force interest in predicting risk of fatigue failure of AM metal parts.

Navy Awards VEXTEC Sole Source Contract for Software & Services

VEXTEC was awarded a sole source contract from the U.S. Navy to expand its Corrosion Cracking Maintenance Prediction Software (CCMPS). CCMPS is used by the Navy to predict the future maintenance needs for aluminum (5000 series) ship structures.

One of the biggest challenges facing widespread adoption of metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) in critical industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices is the issue of Qualification and Certification (Q&C). As AM technology matures and more complex components are built, there is a greater emphasis on developing rapid Q&C methods to be able to unlock the full potential of AM. Computational modeling, such as VEXTEC’s ICME-based VPS-MICRO® Software, can provide valuable information to decision makers when it comes to Q&C considerations in additive manufacturing.

Join VEXTEC on Wednesday November 10 at 2:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm CT for a live webinar to discuss computational modeling to assist the Q&C process for AM. The event is hosted by America Makes as part of their TRX Webinar Series.
