Additive Innovation Center - Rock Island
Redefining the DoD's Logistics with Additive
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 Additive Innovation Center is a dedicated space for Phillips Federal to work with the DoD to educate, inspire, and redefine the capabilities of additive manufacturing.
Solving Your Toughest AM Challenges
This partnership will build new avenues and opportunities in the DoD to take AM to the next level. These possibilities will encourage designing with AM and empower the US industrial base to increase the initiatives to modernize DoD assets and revolutionize warfighter readiness.
The Center will contribute to additive manufacturing solutions through partnerships, application trainings, and the best in class additive technologies in support of the Army, the Joint Military Community, and surrounding industry partners.

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.
