3D printing has many military applications. Militaries around the world have been working on developing 3D printing technologies, using 3D printing for prototypes, developing their own fablabs and using the technology in aircraft and other military vehicles. Many millions have been invested in 3D printing technologies and getting them ready for production in the field. Millions more have been invested in developing fundamentally new technologies. Currently there is a 3D printing arms race quietly developing between China and the United States. Many commanders and planners have realized that 3D printing is a technology with both strategic and tactical implications. In this article we’ll give you an overview of, much of, what is happening with the military and 3D printing: http://3dprint.com/165561/3d-printing-in-the-military/
