$1 Million Cash Prize to Solve DoD Puzzle

A new 3D printing challenge is giving metal additive manufacturing experts the chance to win a $1 million contract to develop a large-format ultra-high-strength steel alloy process for the Department of Defense.

That is why DoD is seeking innovative partners to resolves several of these issues. If you belong to a U.S.-based company or university and are interested in this opportunity, learn more here:
