Military starts to run with 3D printing and additive manufacturing
Even within heavy industries, people often speak of 3D printing in terms of science fiction. With the allure of creating something from nothing, it has been poised to revolutionize prototyping, manufacturing, and resupplying for decades. However, additive...
Giant 3D Printer Under Development
Additive manufacturing — also known as 3D printing — has been in development for decades and the U.S. military branches and the defense industrial base have both integrated the advanced manufacturing technique in their processes. The US military wants to develop a...
3D printed concrete walls ballistics testing
Air Force Civil Engineer Center ballistics experts are working with the Army and Navy to test the durability and resiliency of concrete wall samples that have been printed with a 3D printer as the samples are shot with ammunition. Concrete material like the wall...
Air Force issues national call for 3D scanner
Additive manufacturing and computer design experts, the Air Force needs your ideas. As part of a national effort to harness the speed and flexibility of additive manufacturing — often called “3D printing” — the Air Force this month issued a call for a “cutting-edge...
