Phillips Federal and the US Army Rock Island JMTC entered into a Public-Private Partnership (P3) to create the Phillips Additive Innovation Center inside the Rock Island Center of Excellence (CoE). 

The Phillips Additive Innovation Center is a dedicated space for Phillips Federal to work with the DoD to educate, inspire, and alleviate the DoD’s supply chain challenges. 

Partnering to Drive Success

EQUIPMENT

Phillips provides a diverse portfolio of best-in-class additive manufacturing capabilities including Cold Spray, Powder Bed Metal (DMLS), Wire-fed Direct Energy Deposition, Polymer Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Hybrid Technology (Wire DED / CNC, Deployable), and a complete line of CNC and post-processing equipment that compliment our additive lines.

WORKFORCE / SERVICE

The DoD needs options for adequate training for these significant capital investments in a rapidly changing industry. Phillips is providing solutions to these challenges with a variety of courses and has additive manufacturing applications engineers that can provide basic to advanced machine-specific and agnostic AM training for technicians and leadership.

ADDITIVE CAPABILITY

The DoD wants to expand additive capabilities in machinery and the workforce. Phillips can help you explore new business models that offer Additive Capabilities as a Service to help DoD overcome funding challenges for capital investment. Phillips can explore equipment, associated software, and training and certifying your current and future workforce.

Training

Phillips Federal offers courses in a wide range of additive and traditional manufacturing subject areas and are available for on-site training. Our customizable courses allow you to select the course, topics, and subject areas that meet your facility’s specific requirements. Our staff can provide you and your facility with a proposal for the time required for each topic and the length of the overall training, or help you assemble a custom program.

RIA-JMTC also reaches out to the community by offering machinist apprenticeships and other training programs to qualified applicants. The availability of centralized manufacturing and testing allows production to come full circle, thus minimizing the need to outsource.

Tour the Facility

The P3 joint effort capitalizes on Rock Island’s existing strengths, its leadership role in the Army’s AM Campaign, its robust and engaged chamber of commerce, as well as the industrial manufacturing base. Coupled with the rich manufacturing history, machine tool experience, and extensive additive manufacturing expertise brought by the Phillips Corporation, the P3 will strengthen the processes and success of utilizing AM and expand the capabilities of the DoD.
