Secure, Scalable Production for Advanced Defense Platforms
The Materiel Division at CRG Defense delivers mission‑critical parts, structures, and tooling across air, land, sea, and rail domains. We combine high‑performance polymer and composite additive manufacturing, large‑format tooling, and conventional fabrication on a secure U.S. campus to move customers from drawing to delivered hardware fast, without compromising quality or security.
Capabilities at a Glance
- High Performance, Large Format Polymer Additive Manufacturing
- PEEK, PEI, PAEK/PEKK, carbon fiber reinforced polymers, and engineering thermoplastics for lightweight, high temperature structures, ducts, and tools.
- Design & Engineering for AM & Composites
- Applications engineers who help translate performance requirements into manufacturable parts and tooling, from early trade studies through production drawings.
- Secure, Domestic Production
- U.S.-owned, U.S.-based manufacturing on a 65 acre secure campus near Dayton, Ohio, with integrated quality systems and defense grade security.
- Prototype to LRIP and Sustainment
- Experience delivering from early demonstrators to low rate initial production and spares across DoD and critical infrastructure programs.
Additive Manufacturing
With large-format, high-temperature additive manufacturing (including ULTEM™, PEEK, and carbon-filled polymers), we produce complex components at speed and scale.

Contact UsDesign Services for Additive Manufacturing
Our expert design and prototyping team will help you accelerate development of innovative, high-performance parts and products for fast market delivery. Our proprietary design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) computational optimization toolset, LattiSolve, can simultaneously optimize for weight reduction, structural integrity, thermal management, and vibration control.
Sustainment Product Line
Our DIRT Bag® system revolutionizes sustainment for aircraft and vehicles by capturing particulate contamination at the source—extending component life, reducing maintenance, and supporting long-term readiness. Designed with warfighter input and funded by AFWERX, this dual-use solution is field-ready and platform-flexible.
Secure U.S.-based Manufacturing
We manufacture mission‑critical parts and tooling exclusively in the United States, with U.S. ownership and control. This supports “Buy American” and defense‑industrial‑base initiatives by keeping sensitive production, data, and supply chains onshore while delivering predictable quality and lead times.
