Marine Corps 2nd Lt. Ben Lacount works on an ammunition rounds counter in the Manufacturing and Knowledge (MAKE) Lab at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Md. Carderock's Additive Manufacturing (AM) project Office, along with the Corrosion and Coatings Engineering Branch, have partnered to provide support for the Marine Corps Innovation Challenge. The Innovation Challenge gives individual Marines a chance to improve the Corps with ideas that advance their unit or mission. Three Marines have been matched with Carderock to work with scientists and engineers to bring their innovation to life in the form of a functional prototype. With this support, they will move forward with in-field experimentations back at their respective units and present their innovation to senior leaders with the goal of implementing their solution across the Marine Corps. Carderock's MAKE Lab, which opened in March 2016, empowers the workforce with the latest technology and access to Navy experts as they explore the use of AM, or 3-D printing, for their program needs.
