This hands-on session explored how the once niche technology of 3D printing has become increasingly accessible and widespread. We reviewed how the rapid acceleration of 3D printing to mass produce critical combat resources has transformed the modern battlefield. 

 

During this webinar, attendees learned:

- The evolution of 3D printing: From a niche technology to a widely accessible and adopted tool.

- The role of 3D printing in the development of improvised explosive devices (IEDs)

- The broader implications of accessible 3D printing for battlefield adaptability

- Applications of 3D printing in improvised and unconventional warfare tools, such as: armed drones, loitering munitions, explosive charges, and mines and triggering systems.
