3D printers to be deployed to Afghanistan
Soldiers will not always be prepared in times of unexpected battles. It is the main reason for the existence Army’s Rapid Equipping Force (REF). This division ensures that the soldiers will always be prepared. Their team of engineers is very fast but with the use of 3D printers, they just must become a little faster.
The military will set up what is called the Expeditionary Lab - Mobile to select Afghanistan locations. The lab is made up of shipping containers that are 20 feet long and are filled with the latest in technology, including plasma cutters, industrial CNC machine, 3D printer, and more.
The tools inside the lab let the engineers make new parts for guns and other equipment on the spot in Afghanistan instead of having to ship the new equipment from overseas. It reduces the cost of shipping, but also means that soldiers will get immediate access to potential life saving equipment.
The CNS machines and 3D printers will be used to create custom made parts for armor, guns, and other equipment which the soldiers will use in the field.
Currently, there is only a single lab in Southern Afghanistan and the military plans to deploy another one in the Eastern region come fall. There will also be one in the US as support for natural disasters.

Chocolate goodies from a 3D printer
Finally, someone has come up with a productive use of 3D printers. The plastic somethings that they have been creating from these machines are not really giving that much justice to 3D printing and its promises of being of great use to us.
This will definitely be a great developments for those who have an inexplicable love for sweets.
British taxpayers will no doubt be tickled to know that the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the UK government’s leading funding agency for research and training in engineering and the physical sciences, has produced this video about chocolate printing.
As the scientists explain, consumers who download a piece of software will easily be able to sketch the kind of chocolate they’d like to make. Then they can send the 3D CAD file to a machine in a local shop and pick up their chocolate 10 minutes later.
Now, getting your own daily dose of chocolate can simply be downloaded and printed, sparing you the big feat of going to the store to get it in the exact kind that you want.
Of course, as most of us probably know, printing will always not go as smoothly as it is advertised. Sometimes, it will have to experience jams. And in the case of making chocolate, it can get pretty messy.
