US army builds its own 3D printer
- nakedrobot2 14y agoIsn't this a Prusa RepRap (a previous generation version, no less) ? The article is sadly very lacking in any actual details about the printer.
- RyJones 14y agoThe bit about printing stuff for use on spacecraft seems far fetched as well: who uses a $3000 printer to print parts for a multi-tens-of-million-dollars mission? I wonder if someone pulled BBC's leg?
- DanBC 14y agoI agree. It's stupid to think this stuff would go air-side. But being able to print a box for testing would be use. You keep the expensive carefully crafted bits for use in space, and you use the printed items for sizing or production jigs or what not.
