Company News
Phillips Corporation is opening a $2 million industrial maintenance and mechatronics training centre in Portsmouth, Virginia this autumn. The facility, operated through the company's new Phillips Workforce division, aims to address skilled technician shortages in Hampton Roads' shipbuilding, defence and manufacturing sectors. The centre will offer accelerated, hands-on training on production-grade equipment, with approximately 80% of coursework conducted in practical settings. Core curriculum includes electrical control systems, programmable logic controllers, mechanical systems and robotics. Phillips Workforce developed from a partnership with Norfolk Naval Shipyard, where the company helped create mechatronics training to supplement existing apprenticeship programmes. The Portsmouth facility received a $25,000 grant from Portsmouth Economic Development. Training programmes are scheduled to begin in October 2026, with employer enrolment currently open.
Phase3D and Phillips Federal team up to expand advanced manufacturing inspection for defence. "It means there is now a trusted defence partner they already know who can bring Phase3D inspection technology into more depots, bases, laboratories, and manufacturing programs." Phase3D and Phillips Federal are partnering up to make Phase3D's advanced manufacturing inspection technology more accessible to defence organisations across North America. Phillips Federal will now serve as Phase3D's exclusive Channel Partner for the North American defence market, enabling Phase3D to extend its existing defence work across more organisations and manufacturing locations. That work already includes the U.S. Navy's Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Danville, Virginia, and the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing. "Phase3D has had good early success in defence, but there is a limit to how many organisations a company our size can reach and support on its own," said Michael Brennen, Commercial Director at Phase3D. "Phillips has the relationships, manufacturing experience, and team to help us do that at a much larger scale. For customers, it means there is now a trusted defence partner they already know who can bring Phase3D inspection technology into more depots, bases, laboratories, and manufacturing programs. The end goal is simple: catch defects sooner, waste less machine time and material, and get more usable parts through the same equipment." Phase3D develops in-situ inspection technology that detects defects in real time throughout the manufacturing process. By identifying problems as they occur rather than after a build is complete, Phase3D helps manufacturers avoid wasted material and machine time, increase throughput, and reduce the overall cost of manufacturing. Earlier this month the company announced the Department of the Air Force-supported extension of its Fringe Inspection platform into ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), thought to be 'increasingly central' to next-generation propulsion, hypersonic, and thermal-protection systems. "Our defence customers are looking for practical ways to increase manufacturing capacity and get critical parts into production faster," said Tim McClanahan, President of Phillips Federal. "Real-time inspection gives them greater visibility into the manufacturing process and the ability to catch defects before they consume additional machine time and material. Adding Phase3D to our portfolio gives the organizations we support another tool to improve throughput, reduce manufacturing costs, and strengthen their ability to produce parts where and when they are needed."

Phillips Federal delivers hybrid and additive manufacturing training systems to expand U.S. Navy fleet readiness. Thursday 30 July 2026, 5:14:42 PM HANOVER, Md. - Phillips Corporation, Federal Division, announced the U.S. Navy has expanded its advanced manufacturing training capabilities at the Navy's Schoolhouse in Danville, Virginia, through the procurement of hybrid and additive manufacturing systems delivered in partnership with BlueForge Alliance, the Navy's procurement and program management partner. The investment includes 12 Phillips Hybrid Manufacturing Systems and 12 Markforged X7 composite additive manufacturing systems, providing sailors with hands-on experience across metal hybrid manufacturing, composite additive manufacturing, and production-ready workflows. The equipment will support Navy personnel participating in the Afloat Training Program and help develop the skilled advanced manufacturing workforce required to strengthen fleet readiness and sustainment capabilities. At the core of the deployment are 12 Phillips Hybrid built on Haas TM-1P CNC platforms and integrated with Meltio's Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. By combining precision CNC machining and metal additive manufacturing in a single platform, the systems enable sailors to manufacture new components, repair worn parts, restore high-value assets, and add material only where needed. This integrated approach provides greater speed and flexibility than traditional manufacturing methods alone while reducing material waste and shortening lead times. For Navy personnel, these capabilities provide hands-on experience with production-ready technologies designed to support fleet sustainment, depot maintenance, and expeditionary manufacturing operations. 12 Markforged X7 composite additive manufacturing systems provide advanced 3D printing capabilities, enabling sailors to rapidly produce durable composite parts, tooling, fixtures, prototypes, and replacement components. Together, the hybrid and composite technologies expose sailors to a broad range of advanced manufacturing capabilities supporting shipboard and shore-based operations. Together, the systems create a comprehensive advanced manufacturing training environment that mirrors the production capabilities increasingly being deployed throughout the U.S. Navy. By providing hands-on experience with both metal hybrid manufacturing and composite additive technologies, the Danville Schoolhouse will help prepare sailors to manufacture, repair, and sustain critical components closer to the point of need. BlueForge Alliance executed the procurement on behalf of the U.S. Navy, working closely with Phillips Federal to deliver a standardized, production-ready manufacturing solution aligned with fleet sustainment and workforce development objectives. The Navy's broader Deployed Advanced Manufacturing initiatives emphasize point-of-need production and workforce development through the integration of polymer and metal additive manufacturing across shipboard and shore-based operations - priorities directly supported by the Danville Schoolhouse training environment. Shipboard success, including the production of a replacement sprayer plate aboard USS Bataan, underscores the importance of training sailors on production-ready manufacturing technologies before they deploy. The Navy Schoolhouse is owned by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and operated in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR). "This effort reflects a highly collaborative approach between the Navy, BlueForge Alliance, Meltio, Markforged, and Phillips Federal to deliver real-world manufacturing capability for the fleet," said Bobby Keithley, Vice President of Sales & Product Strategy, Phillips Federal. "By training sailors on the same hybrid and additive systems they will encounter aboard ship, the Navy is accelerating readiness, improving sustainment outcomes, and strengthening its advanced manufacturing workforce. Hybrid manufacturing provides a powerful advantage by combining additive and subtractive processes, enabling sailors to produce new components, repair worn parts, and reduce dependence on traditional supply chains when operating in contested or remote environments." "It is difficult to think of a more challenging environment than operating at sea, and Meltio's technology could not be in better hands than the team at the Navy's Danville Schoolhouse, supported by Phillips Federal," said Gabriel Ortiz, Americas Channel Manager at Meltio. "As a retired sailor, I have a special appreciation for what this technology can accomplish when placed in the hands of well-trained sailors and Marines. Equipping the next generation of naval maintainers with advanced manufacturing capabilities will strengthen fleet readiness and help ensure critical parts can be produced whenever and wherever they are needed."
