We've published in the past for printed 3D guns. Printing functional weapons may be formally illegal in the UK, but that's not stopping the country's armed forces from adopting the technology for military purposes. The defender company BAE announced that in December, the fighter jets British Tornado made first-time successful flying flights with parts made in 3D printers.
The metal parts were created by BAE for the base of the Royal Air Force in Norfolk and covered four degrees Tornado GR4.
The BBC News states technology could reduce the account its maintenance RAF more than £ 1.200.000 (1.960.000 dollars) for the next four years. For some of the parts created with 3D printers (such as beams for air intake doors) the cost was less than 100 pounds (163 dollars). In addition to reduced costs, BAE head Mike Murray said 3D prints will give RAF a more logistical freedom in its future operations.
