AFWERX Refinery empowered Airmen to solve a costly issue—communication cords breaking too often, leading to over $1.2 million in losses within two years. By developing a durable, low-cost 3D-printed bracket, the team extended equipment lifespan and reduced failure rates. Transitioning from concept to operational use, this $4 solution prevents expensive $1,233 cord replacements across 28 airframes. With Defense Logistics Agency adoption underway, AFWERX Refinery continues to accelerate Airmen-driven innovations that enhance readiness, reduce costs, and sustain mission success.
