Description

This episode examines the technical and strategic foundations behind Guam’s new advanced manufacturing hub, developed through ASTRO America in coordination with the U.S. Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base Program.

Neal Orringer of ASTRO America and Alex Benham of the Guam Additive Materials and Manufacturing Accelerator (GAMMA) provide an engineering-level discussion of the facility’s additive manufacturing capabilities, supply-chain objectives, and workforce development plans. The conversation outlines how the hub will support distributed sustainment, accelerate part production near the point of need, and bolster naval readiness across the Indo-Pacific.
