3D Printed Training Landmines

A company called EOD Life has created 3D Printed landmines that are used in EOD training. They basically work like real landmines without the explosion (for obvious reasons :). When stepped on they send a signal to a loud speaker to notify the trainee that he/she has tripped the landmine. The company plans to sell them for $150 per 2 pack of these ($75 each). This is just one more use of 3D printing in military use. Read more about this at: http://3dprint.com/10939/3d-printed-landmines/

Holy cow! Forget the 3D printed guns. Now we can get landmines through security gates!

When is someone going to print a resuscitation mask, or something similar that is useful to Mankind?

The Cambodia country manager for demining organization Golden West Humanitarian Foundation Allen Tan has developed an educational kit full of 3D printed replica landmines to help train people in their disposal. The kit consist of 10 replicas that are fully functional, including internal mechanisms and firing pins, intended to train deminers with hands on training. Each kit costs $7,000, but they are not sold at a profit so any money that is brought in is invested directly back into the project so it will not be reliant on donations or government aid.

Would be fun to try getting that case through customs.
Great idea though.
