Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2016, Vol 179, Issue 1
Abstract
3D printing, 3D scanning and reverse engineering may constitute a significant breakthrough in research all over the world, especially within medical and military technologies. Particularly 3D printing seems to be a promising method to produce 3D objects manufactured layer-by-layer. The broader use of the above technologies may allow customization of various products and lower costs of design and production. At the same time progress in 3D printing technologies needs to be monitored and analyzed in order to deal with possible future threats. This article aims at investigating the extent to which the military and biomedical applications of 3D scanners and 3D printers are exploited, including in the framework of the authors’ own concepts, studies and observations.
