AFWERX Direct-to-Phase II SBIR Contract
$1.25M Direct-to-Phase II SBIR contract for Solideon to develop a deployable, single-pallet additive manufacturing cell for expeditionary environments.
Direct-to-Phase II SBIR award to develop Solideon's portable, single-pallet Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) cell — a robotic system that deposits high-strength metal parts directly from wire feedstock without a factory. The cell is designed for rapid deployment to maintenance depots and forward-operating locations so minimally trained personnel can fabricate repair and replacement parts on demand, cutting aircraft downtime, sustainment lead times, and supply-chain dependence.
