We’ve written, on more than one occasion, about how the world’s various armed forces might utilize 3D printing in the field of battle. With mobile labs like the Rapid Equipping Force, engineers might be able to 3D print a mission critical part on demand in the case that equipment experiences damage while in combat. And, though the REF exists, we have yet to witness a tangible proof of concept in which such a team replaces parts in a live scenario. Before proving the concept in war, 3D Systems will be testing it out where the stakes are lower, the Marine Corps’ annual Expeditionary Logistics Wargame (ExLog).…
