Overview of the Foreign Experience of the Influence of Additive Manufacturing on Development and Deployment of Military TechnologyReviewed - Review

Mgr. Jakub Harašta

The paper presents the additive manufacturing method as a possible alternative to the current subtractive manufacturing methods. Based on literature survey, some of the problematic aspects of the discrepancy between the lengthy development cycles and rapidly changing operational demands responsive to current threats are identified. The paper also includes some thoughts on possibilities of solving inadequacies in the development cycles, as well as related logistical apparatus, by additive manufacturing. For the sake of objectivity, the last part is dedicated to deficits of additive manufacturing, being inherent to technology or possibly to be overcome by further development of the field.

Keywords: additive manufacturing, development cycle, modern technology, 3D print
