Today’s soldiers require advanced capabilities to be effective on future battlefields. Advances in technology have produced better weapon optics, imaging devices, and body armor, as well as many other types of specialized protective and offensive gear. Body armor that could protect soldiers against rifle fire, for example, was not available during World War II, the
With this 3D printing body armor innovation, the U.S. Army will be able to print custom-made armor on the spot. According to a recent research on 3D printing technology, it is believed that the U.S. military would be able to print body armor for soldiers in the near future. The new technology would enable army
U.S. Army researchers have devised a method to produce ceramic body armor, lightweight but strong, from a 3-D printer. Except that 3-D printers are meant to print out knickknacks, not flak jackets. Which meant that engineers had to hack into the printer to get the job done. Ceramic armor, light but hard, provides great protection
