Location: Online Webinar
The Endless Forge Industry Day is a virtual briefing hosted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to introduce industry partners to the Endless Forge initiative and upcoming opportunities to collaborate with the Department of the Air Force. Endless Forge is designed to accelerate the connection between design, production, and supply chain capabilities to enable faster, more adaptive manufacturing for national defense.
During this session, attendees will receive an overview of the program’s objectives, structure, and near-term opportunities for engagement. The briefing will highlight two key areas of interest within the initiative: Digital Technology Sprints, which support focused projects that reduce risk in enabling technologies, and Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) demonstration pathfinders, which explore scalable production approaches for the defense industrial base. Participants will also gain insights into how companies can position their capabilities to support future Department of the Air Force programs and modernization efforts.
