Members assigned to the 28th Maintenance Squadron Additive Manufacturing and Rapid Repair Facility prepare to restore elongated Tridair Fastener holes on the Forward Equipment Bay panel of a B-1B Lancer at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., April 8, 2020. The part, which would have normally cost $83,000 to replace instead cost $4,000 when repaired via cold spray by Ellsworth AFB’s team of technicians – saving the Air Force roughly $79,000 per panel.
