Abstract
This project is a study of technology adoption theories and their application to Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the Navy and wider Department of Defense. It examines AM technology modalities and how they are used throughout the Navy. It also looks at the obstacles to wider implementation in the Navy and determines ways the Navy can overcome those and other considerations. Finally, it shows how the Defense Logistics Agency can support the AM through existing customer support programs.
