Phillips and Meltio Test Wire-laser Metal 3D Printing for defense and the navy at RIMPAC 2026 Phillips Corporation is participating in #RIMPAC2026 (Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2026) as part of a distributed advanced manufacturing network led by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE). As part of CAMRE’s experiment, Phillips Federal is deploying a containerized system integrating a Haas Automation, Inc. TM-1P #CNC platform with Meltio Blue wire-laser metal additive manufacturing technology #DED for #defense and other worldwide industries aboard the #USSESSEX (LHD-2). The system will test metal 3D printing and precision machining in one of the most demanding environments a production system can face: an active naval vessel underway at sea. RIMPAC 2026, the world’s largest international maritime exercise, runs from June 24 through July 31 around the Hawaiian Islands, bringing together approximately 25,000 personnel, 40 surface ships, five submarines, and 140 aircraft from 31 nations. Several Asian forces are also taking part, including Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Republic of Korea Navy, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force holds the role of Vice Commander of the Combined Task Force, while the Republic of Korea Navy serves as Combined Forces Maritime Component Commander.
