Additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D Printing, is maturing as a viable means to produce mission-essential UAVs at the point of need. Now, U.S. Army researchers are working with the U.S. Marines to develop 3-D printed UAVs.
This is theme of a new YouTube documentary released by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The video details how researchers first envisioned on-demand printing with a suite of tools that would allow for Soldiers to enter mission parameters and then get a 3-D printed aviation asset within 24 hours.
