Supporting Military Research with Precision Workholding 

At Rapid Holding Systems, we believe that innovation in manufacturing is key to the future of defense and research. That’s why we are proud to have supported the United States Military Academy at West Point with our high-precision Wire EDM workholding solutions. Our commitment is clear: to help engineers and military cadets take their ideas further, with confidence and precision.

Our Collaboration with West Point

When West Point set out to expand its advanced manufacturing capabilities, they trusted us to provide precision tooling. We supplied System 3R-compatible solutions designed to deliver repeatability, reliability, and productivity in their research processes. This allowed their team to maximize machine time and focus on what matters most: innovation.

Driving Military Research Forward

Our work with West Point goes beyond supplying tools. Through our expertise, we guided their team on best practices for efficient setups and workholding strategies. This directly contributes to the development of new manufacturing technologies that support national security and defense. Every minute saved in setup and every part produced with greater accuracy is an advantage that pushes progress forward.

Connection with Innovation Initiatives

In parallel, West Point received a $900,000 award through the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). This investment allowed them to acquire advanced metal 3D printing technology (Directed Energy Deposition), which complements our contribution in precision tooling.Together, these advancements strengthen West Point’s role as a center of excellence in defense-focused manufacturing innovation.

Our Commitment

At Rapid Holding Systems, we are proud to be part of this journey. Our mission has always been to deliver high-quality tools that enable our customers—whether shops, manufacturers, or institutions like West Point—to achieve maximum efficiency and reliability. We will continue supporting innovation and progress in every project where precision makes the difference.
