United States Navy printed ready to dive underwater camera

In recent years, a 3D printer printed, maybe, everything. Bridges, houses and even vehicles. And recently the "mania" print on a 3D printer and joined the naval forces of the United States. Their research unit, together with experts from national laboratory oak ridge has developed an underwater vehicle, Optionally Manned Technology Demonstrator (OMTD), whose body is entirely made with three-dimensional printing technology. The most interesting thing that scientists have taken a very just 4 weeks.
It is Worth mentioning that OMTD is not developed "from scratch". It is the prototype underwater vehicle for research missions and military operations. A project to create OMTD started a year ago – in August 2016. The first was developed in the frame of the device, the modules and created a three-dimensional model of the future underwater vehicle. Then using the printer is Big Area Additive Manufacturing carbon fiber printed 6 segments of the hull with a total length of 10 meters.
Big Area Additive Manufacturing. Industrial 3D printer
As the representatives of the U.S. Navy, the making of the Cabinet the "traditional" way costs about $ 800,000 and take up to 5 months. The use of a 3D printer has reduced costs by 90% and reduce the time required for the creation of the body up to 4 weeks.
According to the developers, after a series of experiments OMTD will be ready to dip soon. And if this initiative will succeed, 2019, the U.S. military will receive underwater vehicles, manufactured at a new, faster and more cost effective in the production technology.
