Defense additive manufacturing is transforming how military organizations produce spare parts, maintain legacy platforms, and respond to supply-chain disruptions. At MSPO 2026, Omni3D will present an integrated architecture combining high-temperature polymer extrusion, metal LPBF systems, tactical UAV production, and containerized point-of-need manufacturing.
At MSPO 2026 (International Defence Industry Exhibition), Omni3D will showcase its full spectrum of dual-technology additive manufacturing (AM) systems. Designed for sovereign defense readiness, our solutions address the critical vulnerabilities of conventional military supply chains: long lead times, centralized warehousing footprints, and obsolete component lines for legacy platforms.
Omni3D operates under strict quality management standards, holding ISO 9001:2015 certification, NATO AQAP 2110 compliance, and the NATO Commercial and Government Entity Code NCAGE: 9BT1H. As a trusted partner to defense contractors such as the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), BAE Systems, Naval Group, Leonardo Helicopters, Safran, and Airbus, Omni3D manufactures field-ready hardware and high-performance polymer solutions built for mission-critical deployments.
1. Defense Additive Manufacturing Systems at MSPO 2026
Omni3D delivers an integrated industrial ecosystem featuring both Material Extrusion (FDM/FFF Polymer) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF Metal) technologies. Rather than relying on third-party integrations, our operational framework unites industrial hardware, material science, proprietary slicing profiles, and field-tested bed adhesion science into a cohesive defense manufacturing architecture.
Industrial Polymer AM Platforms
- OMNI PRO HT: Engineered for extreme-performance thermoplastics, featuring an active thermal build chamber maintaining up to 220°C and build dimensions of 530 × 530 × 515 mm. It utilizes high-temperature (HT) print head modules operating up to 500°C with nickel-plated copper blocks to process high-temperature polymers like PEKK-A, PEEK, and PEI 9085 (ULTEM).
- OMNI PRO: High-throughput workhorse featuring an active chamber heated up to 140°C and built-in filament drying chambers. Ideal for engineering-grade materials, including Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polyamides (CF PA-12), Flame-Retardant/Low-Smoke Polyamides (GF20-PA6/66 FR LS), and Electrostatic Discharge safe compounds (ABS ESD).
- ASNARE Universal First-Layer Adhesion (UFA): A laboratory-validated chemical bonding agent engineered to prevent first-layer warpage driven by Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch in high-temperature polymers during large-format extrusion.
Industrial Metal AM (LPBF Platforms)
- OMNI M280 & OMNI M150: High-precision Laser Powder Bed Fusion systems offering build envelopes up to 280 × 280 × 500 mm equipped with single, dual, or quadruple 500 W ytterbium fiber lasers. Engineered for production-grade structural elements using defense-standard metal powders: Titanium Ti6Al4V, Inconel 718/625, Stainless Steel 316L, and Cobalt-Chromium CoCrMo.
- Auxiliary Material Handling Equipment: Complete field powder lifecycle management via the OMNI-VPT(Vacuum Powder Transporter), OMNI-APSU (Automated Powder Sieving Unit), and OMNI-BCUM (Build Chamber Unpacking Module).
2. Premieres, Highlights, and Material Innovation at MSPO 2026
Feature Highlight 1: The Tactical Fabrication Unit (TFU20)
The headline premiere for MSPO 2026 is the Omni3D Tactical Fabrication Unit (TFU20), a fully autonomous, containerized forward-operating manufacturing platform built into a heavy-duty 20 ft ISO shelter.

The TFU20 transforms forward logistics by enabling point-of-need digital manufacturing. Instead of maintaining massive physical spares stockpiles across theater zones, military logistics units store encrypted digital CAD files and print parts on-demand.
Tactical Part Unit Economics & Supply Chain Mechanics
The table below illustrates real-world TCO comparisons between traditional forward supply chains and on-demand production within the TFU20:
| Functional Component | Material / Process | Traditional Logistics Lead Time | TFU20 On-Site Manufacturing Time | Unit Cost Reduction (AM vs. Field Air-Freight) |
| BWP-1 Manhole Key | PEKK-A (Extrusion) | 45 Days (Obsolete stock line) | 6.5 Hours | 82% |
| JELCZ 442.32 Air Conditioning Bracket | CF PA-12 (Extrusion) | 18 Days (Supply bottleneck) | 4.0 Hours | 68% |
| BWP-1 Armored Vehicle Bearing Replacement | TPU-93A (Elastomer) | 12 Days | 2.5 Hours | 75% |
| Charge Shell Antistatic Element | ABS ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) | 30 Days (Min. Order Qty required) | 3.0 Hours | 91% |

Feature Highlight 2: Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Fleet Production
Omni3D will demonstrate functional airframe production models from the Mosquito 1000 and Mosquito 1600 tactical UAV projects. Optimized for low-volume forward deployment, these airframes feature 3D-printed carbon-reinforced structural spars and nose cones capable of achieving speeds up to 240 km/h with payload capacities reaching 1,575 g.
