Biden tshaj tawm AM Forward Program txhawm rau txhawb nqa kev tsim khoom ntxiv

Tag kis no Thawj Tswj Hwm Biden tab tom tshaj tawm qhov Additive Manufacturing Forward (AM Forward), kev sib koom tes ntawm ntau lub tuam txhab loj US thawj cov cuab yeej siv (OEMs) thiab qee qhov ntawm lawv cov lag luam me thiab nruab nrab (SME) cov chaw muag khoom los pab txhawb lawv txoj kev siv cov cuab yeej tsim khoom ntxiv. thiab txhim kho lawv cov peev xwm. Cov OEMs suav nrog GE, Lockheed, Raytheon, Siemens Zog, Honeywell, thiab Northrup Grumman, txhua tus ntawm lawv nyob ntawm lawv cov khoom siv los nqis peev hauv cov thev naus laus zis tshiab kom lawv tus kheej tuaj yeem nyob sib tw.

Additive manufacturing (AM), feem ntau hu ua 3D luam ntawv, yog tiag tiag suite ntawm technologies uas tau siv ua ke los tsim cov khoom ncaj qha los ntawm cov qauv digital. Nws tuaj yeem siv rau ntau yam khoom siv, nrog rau cov yas thiab hlau. Cov lus cog tseg tiag tiag ntawm cov thev naus laus zis yog tias nws tshem tawm qee qhov kev txwv uas cov neeg tsim khoom feem ntau ntsib tom qab ntawd lawv siv cov txheej txheem ntau lawm xws li machining, casting, lossis lwm yam txheej txheem. Nws yog qhov ua tau los ua qhov chaw nrog faus qhov lossis cov kab nkhaus, yam uas yuav ua tsis tau nrog cov pa machining.

AM tau dhau los ntawm lub voj voog hype, tab sis dhau kaum xyoo dhau los txoj kev loj heev tau tsim nyob rau hauv kev tsim cov khoom hlau. Cov OEMs loj xws li GE Aviation tau txais txiaj ntsig tiag tiag, siv nws los tsim cov roj nozzles rau nws lub tshuab LEAP ( ya ntawm Boeing 737 MAX thiab Airbus A320 cov tsev neeg) thiab cov hniav tsis tshua muaj siab. Qee lub tuam txhab tau txais AM rau kev tsim cov castings, tab sis ntau SMEs tau qeeb los txais yuav nws. Feem ntau qhov no yog vim qhov tsis paub tseeb ntawm cov neeg siv khoom xav tau. Kev nqis peev hauv 3D tshuab luam ntawv tshiab thiab khoos phis tawj qauv kho vajtse thiab software feem ntau txhais tau hais tias kev them nuj nqis thiab kev pheej hmoo nyiaj txiag. Yog tias tsis muaj kev lees paub ntawm kev thov rau cov khoom lag luam uas yuav ua kom zoo dua ntawm cov thev naus laus zis no, nws yog ntau dua li SMEs tuaj yeem ua rau plab. Cov tuam txhab no tseem tsis tas yuav muaj kev txawj ntse hauv lawv cov neeg ua haujlwm los nruab thiab siv AM cov cuab yeej. Yog li feem ntau cov tuam txhab tsis muaj lub peev xwm lossis lub peev xwm los tsim cov khoom ntxiv, thiab yog li lawv cov neeg siv khoom OEM muaj teeb meem ntau dua los yog tsim nyog AM tsim cov khoom hauv lawv tus kheej tsim.

Qhov no yog qhov uas AM Forward tuaj rau hauv. Cov Thawj Coj tau piav qhia tias nws yog "public compact" ntawm OEMs loj thiab lawv cov neeg muag khoom hauv Asmeskas los nqis peev hauv cov tshuab ntxiv tshiab, pab cob qhia lawv cov neeg ua haujlwm, muab kev pab cuam, thiab pom zoo koom nrog hauv kev tsim kho cov qauv. . Qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, OEMs yuav tsum muab "xov xwm xav tau." Qhov ntawd txhais tau tias lawv cog lus rau yuav khoom. GE Aviation hais tias nws yuav tsom mus rau US-based SMEs rau 30% ntawm nws tag nrho cov khoom siv sab nraud ntawm cov khoom siv ntxiv, Raytheon Technologies
RTX
yuav nrhiav SMEs rau 50% ntawm cov khoom tsim nrog AM, thiab Siemens Zog yuav tsom 20-40% ntawm nws cov khoom AM.

Qhov no tuaj yeem pab tau tshwj xeeb rau kev lag luam metalcasting hauv tsev, qhov twg Lockheed-Martin yuav tsom mus ua haujlwm nrog SMEs ntawm AM rau metalcasting thiab forgings. Castings yog siv los tsim 90% ntawm tag nrho cov khoom ruaj khov thiab ze li ntawm tag nrho cov tshuab tsim khoom. Lub Koom Haum American Foundry tau thov tias cov neeg feem coob tsis tshua muaj ntau dua 10 ko taw los ntawm ib tug casting, txawm tias nws yog cam khwb cia hlau frying lauj kaub zaum ntawm koj lub qhov cub, lub qhov hluav taws xob kaw hauv koj cov kav dej, qhov chaw ntawm qhov raug ncua lossis lub zog hluav taws xob ntawm koj lub tsheb, lossis lub qhov hluav taws kub koj tus dev yog dai kom zoo nkauj. Lockheed-Martin pom tseeb yog xav paub ntau ntxiv hauv cov khoom tiv thaiv, uas yog qhov zoo. Xyoo 2020, Lub Chaw Tiv Thaiv Kev Tiv Thaiv Logistics (DLA) txheeb xyuas 30,061 castings thiab forgings tawm ntawm 32,597 txij nkawm, kho, thiab kho dua tshiab (MRO) qhov chaw uas lawv muaj teeb meem nrhiav. Ntau qhov ntawm cov khoom no txhawb nqa qhov tseem ceeb mus-rau-ua tsov rog riam phom systems thiab platforms uas cuam tshuam rau kev npaj tub rog. AM tuaj yeem ua tau zoo los tsim cov no.

Muaj nyob ib ncig ntawm 1,750 qhov chaw tsim khoom hauv Tebchaws Meskas uas sib sau ua haujlwm 490,000 tus neeg. 80% ua haujlwm tsawg dua 100 tus neeg, thiab ntau tus tau ua haujlwm qeeb txais yuav AM. Txoj haujlwm AM Forward yuav txhawb nqa US Department of Agriculture Kev Lag Luam thiab Kev Lag Luam, nrog rau Export-Import Bank tus tshiab kev pab qiv nyiaj hauv tsev thiab Small Business Administration's 504 Loan program los pab cov tuam txhab no thiab lwm cov SME metalworkers nyiaj txiag cov cuab yeej tshiab. Qhov kev pab cuam kuj suav nrog muab kev cob qhia thiab kev txhawb nqa los ntawm ntau lub koom haum.

Nyob rau hauv lub hlis tsis ntev los no kuv tau muab ntau yam lus hais txog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev ua hauj lwm ntawm lub thov sab ntawm qhov sib npaug, tsis yog cov khoom siv xwb. Kuv feem ntau qhia zaj dab neeg txog ib lub tuam txhab maus taus hauv Suav teb uas kuv tau mus xyuas qee lub xyoo dhau los. Lawv tau pib los ntawm kev muag cov khoom tsis zoo tab sis zoo txaus luam ntawm cov khoom lag luam Nyij Pooj sab saum toj rau cov neeg nyob deb nroog cov neeg pluag uas zoo siab them ib feem me me ntawm tus nqi uas lawv yuav tau them rau tus thawj. Tab sis lub tuam txhab tau teeb tsa lawv tus kheej version ntawm Toyota Production System, thiab lawv tau cranking tawm tsheb kauj vab zoo li tsis muaj tag kis. Zoo, lub tuam txhab loj hlob tuaj kom loj thiab ua tiav. Qhov kev nkag siab tseem ceeb rau kuv yog tias lawv muaj kev thov tsis tu ncua rau lawv cov khoom, uas tau muab nyiaj txiag rau lawv los khiav lag luam, kawm, thiab nqis peev. Hais lwm txoj kev, leej twg them lawv cov nqi kawm ntawv thaum lawv kawm los txhim kho lawv cov khoom thiab kev tsim khoom.

Nov yog qhov peb SMEs xav tau - ib tus neeg them lawv cov nqi kawm los ntawm yuav khoom, thaum pab lawv kawm los ntawm kev xyaum, thiab txhim kho lawv cov peev xwm. Qhov ntawd yog ib txoj hauv kev zoo los txhim kho kev tsim khoom hauv lub tebchaws no.
