Inventory 3D printing applications in military fields in various countries

In the modern era, " 3D printing technology " has become a high-frequency vocabulary in science and technology news reports, and even predicted by the British "Economist" magazine "will promote the advent of a new round of industrial revolution." Because of its digital and intelligent advanced "replication" capability, this technology has become a popular "new" in the defense and military industries while being used for civilian use.

3D printing technology has been applied in the military and aerospace fields, and expensive fighters, carrier aircraft, etc. can also be released through "printing". So, what kind of help does 3D printing help in the military industry in various countries?

First, the United States: 3D printing to help combat logistics support

To maintain the aircraft and improve the combat effectiveness of the aircraft, the US Air Force and OC-ALC are now developing a strategic plan to incorporate 3D printing technology into their current airpower and maintain every aspect of the mission. OC-ALC wants to optimize its workflow with 3D printing technology, including additive manufacturing aircraft engine components and 3D printing of modern electronic components designed by the 76th Software Maintenance Group.

In fact, OC-ALC's plan is only one of the similar plans being developed in several logistics complexes of the US Air Force. In addition, the United States also has Robins Air Force Base including Georgia and Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Each base will develop a program for the complex that integrates 3D printing technology into its aircraft maintenance and development capabilities. The inclusion of additive manufacturing technology will have a huge impact on logistics operations and will greatly enhance the ability of the entire military base to maintain aircraft.

Second, the United Kingdom: 3D printing "Cyclone" fighter parts

In January 2014, a "Gale" fighter with parts produced by 3D printing technology completed the test flight, and was considered by the British media to be a landmark event for large-scale use of 3D printing technology in the aviation manufacturing field. British Aerospace Systems pointed out that the 3D printing components of the aircraft that successfully tested the flight included the cockpit radio shield, the landing gear guard and the air intake bracket. These components were all produced and assembled at a military base at the Royal Air Force, which the company said was the first flight test of a fighter equipped with 3D printed components.

These 3D printed parts are manufactured at very low cost, some even below £100 (£1 for $1.64). In terms of repairing and replacing parts, 3D printing technology is expected to save the Royal Air Force £1.2 million over the next four years. In addition, 3D printing technology makes these parts no longer restricted. If these 3D printers are sent to the front line, direct processing and repair of parts will greatly enhance the capabilities of the British Air Force.
