The POLYLINE project achieved the first successful implementation of an automated additive manufacturing production line for polymer parts at scale. At the Additive Manufacturing Campus of BMW, the project partners made real 3D printing serial production with high throughput a reality. It is therefore not surprising that after the defined three years of project time, BMW, DyeMansion, EOS and Grenzebach – four partners of the consortium – draw a very positive balance.

![The History of Additive Manufacturing in the U.S. Army with L.J. Holmes | Additive Snack Podcast
Are you curious about how the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) uses additive manufacturing (AM)? The military’s innovative approach has a 30-year roadmap, which was authored by this week’s guest.
In this special episode, host Fabian Alefeld speaks with LJ Holmes. LJ has one of the most diverse jobs in the AM industry. He is the Executive Director of Advanced Manufacturing Research and Engineering at Harrisburg University. His rich background in AM from its historical roots in the DoD to current uses and future applications. LJ describes his AM journey from the Army Research Center to Harrisburg University, how AM has evolved within the defense sector, and some undocumented stories of early use cases and current applications within the DoD.

Key Takeaways:
[1:50] LJ shares his journey to AM and the integration of AM at the Army Research Center and the Department of Defense.
[11:47] Authoring the 30-year Additive Manufacturing Roadmap was the last project LJ completed for the Army Research Center.
[17:15] Harrisburg University of Science and Technology offers students an advanced manufacturing curriculum and STEM-focused education.
[26:35] Additively manufactured components may or may not have been used in military vehicles as early as the 2000s.
[29:41] Additive applications for future civilian and military use.
[42:17] During AMUG 2024, LJ will introduce a 50-foot-tall friction stir hybrid additive machine.

![The Pitfalls and Potential of Implementing AM with Joris Peels & Max Bogue of 3DPOD
The current state of additive manufacturing is paradoxical. Its ability to create remarkable objects stands in contrast to the challenges of establishing a compelling business case for its universal use.
To explore how and when additive will go mainstream, Host Fabian Alefeld welcomes the hosts of the 3DPOD podcast, Joris Peels and Max Bogue. Joris is the executive editor at 3Dprint.com and the VP of Consulting at AM Research. Max Bogue is Chairman and Founder of Wobbleworks and the creator of the innovative 3Doodler, the most popular 3D pen on the market. They discuss the current state of additive, the challenges of implementing AM in organizations, and the sweet spot for growth.

Key Takeaways:
[2:18] Frictionless AM experiences help build a use case for other industries.
[13:53] The sweet spot for growth in additive manufacturing.
[25:05] Saying ‘No’ was the key to the successful execution of Wobbleworks’ 3D pen.
[40:42] Advice for implementing additive manufacturing within an organization.
[52:22] Additive must cross the chasm before general adoption.
[56:20] Blending robotics with AM will drive big growth in the military-industrial complex.
