DMC 2024 – December 2-5, 2024
DMC is the nation’s annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policy makers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. Leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts from government, industry, and academia exchange information and perspectives on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations that will benefit our nation’s warfighters.

3D Technical Data Exchange Demonstration
At the heart of the DOD acquisition are the Technical Data Packages (TDPs) that the government requires the contractors to deliver during an acquisition program. This ensures a program office receives information from the contractor about the newly designed system. That information defines the design, manufacturing, sustainment data, and more. Most use 2D drawings and other static documentation as a mechanism to deliver this information. The Digital Engineering DoD mandates describe a future that relies on digitally connected data. To realize said future, it is crucial that the design, fabrication, and inspection information, foundational to digital manufacturing processes, is evaluated as 3D digital data. This means the TDP information should be authored as connected information that leverages the latest manufacturing technologies inherent to Industry 4.0. This presentation demonstrates the work completed to date to test newly authored 3D TDP data with industry standards using existing software technologies.

DEFENSE MANUFACTURING CONFERENCE INFORMATION

On behalf of the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP), and in coordination with ARCTOS, U.S. Navy cordially invites you to the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2024, in Austin, Texas, December 2-5, 2024.
DMC is the nation’s annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policy makers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. Leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts from government, industry, and academia exchange information and perspectives on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations that will benefit our warfighters.
Attendees range from CEO- and Flag Officer/SES-level to working-level manufacturing-oriented engineers, scientists, and business practice/policy makers and include technology implementers, system designers and representatives of the warfighters. Typical attendance is over 1,000 primarily government and industry participant with a smaller complement from academia.
The DMC Conference agenda, registration, and lodging information will be posted on this website. The expanded Exhibit Hall will include all the leading organizations from the DMC community. We are looking forward to seeing you in Nashville!
