    I'm really surprised this isn't being done yet. The Military is usually 10 years a head of the curve in technology.

    I don't know how feasible it will be do print when a boat is swaying in waves though. That should be a challenge that needs to be overcome.

    Why would that make any difference at all? You can FDM in zero G or upside down with some printer designs. The plastic doesn't drop down, it is extruded directly to the build surface.
