Abstract Lockheed Martin and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are working on an additive manufacturing (AM) system (Big Area Additive Manufacturing, or BAAM) capable of producing components measured not in terms of inches or feet, but multiple yards in all dimensions. The highly automated system has the potential to manufacture parts completely unbounded in size.
