#3d Printing

The U.S. Army, through DEVCOM, has demonstrated an experimental UAV featuring a 3D-printed heavy-fuel hybrid rotary engine and a 400-volt electrical subsystem for vertical takeoff and landing.

Scientists have proposed building Martian bases from bioengineered yeast and gelatin. The sublimation method in the Martian atmosphere creates a lightweight material with a strength of up to 12 MPa, saving up to 100 times more energy.

Russia has established mass production of jet engines for drones through 3D printing of turbines, cutting the unit cost to $50,000–70,000. Ukraine has introduced a two-tier air alert system.

🏎️ Czinger has unveiled BrakeNode — a single brake assembly printed entirely from aluminum. 🔹 30% reduction in unsprung mass. 🔹 2.7 kg weight saving on the 21C Spyder model. 🔹 Simplified maintenance without removing the caliper. DMLS technology is changing the rules of the game in motorsport! #Czinger #MontereyCarWeek #3DPrinting

🇺🇸 American company Haddy has unveiled the TF-179 unmanned boat, created via giant 3D printing. 🔹 The vessel was printed in St. Petersburg (Florida) using robotic printing. 🔹 The technology allows for a shortened development cycle and rapid adaptation of platforms to tasks. 🔹 The characteristics and customer of the TF-179 are classified. 🔹 Parallels with Ukrainian developments: GUR is upgrading the "Katran" drone to detain vessels. #Haddy #3DPrinting #NavalTech #TF179 #Drones

The US Army has opened the first 3D-printed barracks in Texas. The project will save 9.3% of the budget and speed up construction by 4 times. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has admitted lagging in drone production and agreed with Ukraine on their supply for testing 🇺🇸🏗️🤖

Scientists have created the JIBEs material, which mimics living tissues and allows for the printing of organs and neural networks. The technology is simple to produce and is already being used for lithium mining and water purification. 🧬🖨️🤖

Pratt & Whitney successfully tested the TJ150 engine, where 60% of the parts are 3D printed. This revolutionary solution for cruise missiles allows combining 50 components into a single part and accelerating production. 🚀🖨️

Scientists have created a 3D cloak that makes objects invisible to thermal imagers. The technology directs heat around the object, preserving the natural temperature background. This breakthrough is important for both military drones and tanks, as well as for cooling microchips. 🔥🛡️👻
