Who else is interested in the benefits of 3D printing in the military? The USS Essex has recently been provided a 3D printer and sailors have been encouraged to come up with uses for it. The CNO's Rapid Innovation Cell has been pushing to get this technology in people's hands while it is still young so we'll all be proficient in 10+ years as the technology matures.
What would you make with a 3D printer?

I would print more 3-D printers, of course!

Just don't let the machines become self aware or we're toast!

I am okay with the machines becoming self aware. With all this overpopulation, it is time to thin out the herd. Everyone assumes the next catastrophe will be zombies, earthquakes, or disease, but nobody accounted for self aware, 3-D printers!

Considering the possibilities of owning a 3D printer is truly exhilarating. The prospect of turning digital designs into tangible objects is already a game-changer, but imagine the added innovation of creating custom parts for a DIY. So you can check this https://pos.munbyn.com/munbyn-2-13-electronic-shelf-label/ to get more ways about printer. With the precision and versatility of a 3D printer, designing intricate components for such a device could provide unmatched accuracy and efficiency. It's a testament to how technology can empower us to address practical needs in creative and groundbreaking ways.

PO1 Anderson, great topic! This technology has come a long way in recent years, I can certainly see numerous military applications for this today, as well as in the future. I think it was a good call by the Navy to test this at sea, as I'm sure there's a thousand and one uses for a 3D printer, especially where spare parts are hard to come by. Again, great post thanks for hosting!

I should clarify, I don't think it's done too well away from the pier yet, but it's a start.
Any battlefield will enjoy a massive improvement in logistics with this tech...at sea or shore. Can't wait to see what happens!
