During Naval Postgraduate School CAMRE’s distributed advanced manufacturing experiment at #RIMPAC2026 (Rim of the Pacific Exercise), the world’s largest international maritime military exercise, Fieldmade AS‘s #NOMAD mobile additive manufacturing container and #QamX, the digital qualification platform developed by Qualified AM, demonstrated how trusted qualification evidence can transform field-manufactured spare parts into deployable assets. Fieldmade AS’s participation in RIMPAC2026 was facilitated by NPS’ FLEETWERX PIA.
The real bottleneck in distributed manufacturing is not production. It’s obtaining deployment approval through trusted qualification evidence.
– Risk-Assessed
