Ingersoll designs compact ‘factory in a box’ for U.S. Army

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Ingersoll is known for big projects, like the Magellan Telescope, but they have now delivered a unique product for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Army contracted Ingersoll to build factory machinery that all fit inside a single cargo container, which can be deployed around the world.

“We took a large 3D printer, a large CNC milling machine, and made small versions of it. Which may be the smallest versions Ingersoll ever made, but creatively fit them in with full function, full CNC, full materials management, full tools, full probing, you name it. Everything that a big machine can do, these machines can do,” Ingersoll’s vice president of sales, Jason Melcher, said Friday.

Ingersoll said it was able to deliver the completed project to the Army only a few days after Memorial Day.
