There has been much discussion about 3-D printers lately. Although 3-D printer technology is still in the early stages, many security experts believe that advanced, large-scale 3-D printers will likely revolutionize the battlefield, if not the world. Robert Beckhusen of Wired’s Danger Room offers a perspective on some of the possibilities that 3-D printers might have on the modern-day warfare in his article In Tomorrow’s Wars, Battles Will Be Fought With a 3-D Printer. If you are unfamiliar with the subject of 3-D printers, this is a good place to start.
