This government-only webinar will explore how Additive Manufacturing (AM) is helping address challenges in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection for naval electrical equipment by enabling the rapid, on-demand production of ESD-compliant parts. Attendees will learn how a shift from individual part certification to design-level qualification can streamline compliance, reduce testing requirements, and improve operational efficiency.
Key Takeaways:
- Overcoming ESD Protection Challenges: Use AM to reduce costs, lead times, and supply chain dependencies.
- Design-Level Certification: Learn how qualifying designs rather than individual components can simplify compliance.
- Qualified ESD Materials: Review the qualification of Antero 840CN03 and ABS ESD 7 under ASEMICAP approval.
- Reduced Testing Requirements: Leverage material certificates of conformance and targeted surface resistance testing to minimize production testing.
- Supporting Future Naval Applications: Explore opportunities to expand ESD-compliant AM solutions for components interfacing directly with electrical systems.
This approach provides a scalable pathway for producing ESD-compliant parts while improving readiness and sustainment capabilities for naval platforms.
