The bottom line is that it’s also an awful lot of fun … [Read more...] about 3D Printed Solar UAV to Spot Poachers in Africa
Army Drones to Deliver 3D Custom Pizzas to Forward Operating Bases
(Source: army.mil) Pizzas made to order on 3D printers soon could be delivered by drones to hungry Soldiers at outposts across the globe. According to researchers at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, the pizzas would be produced on specially designed 3D printers and flown to outposts while still hot. Natick researchers called it "an unexpected breakthrough" … [Read more...] about Army Drones to Deliver 3D Custom Pizzas to Forward Operating Bases
