SIP1909 This report is based on research funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and sponsored by the United States Air Force Academy Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) through the Project on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (PASCC) under agreement number FA7000-18-1-0018. Additive Manufacturing (AM)—also known as 3D printing—is a rapidly emerging technology with growing relevance for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. The rapid pace of AM development makes it increasingly difficult to keep track of AM’s potential effect on proliferation pathways.
