The US Navy is ordering 3D printers from American manufacturer Stratasys for a total of 20 million dollars. 25 F900s are to be delivered by August 2026 and installed at various locations. The F900 is a professional printer that is also suitable for the production of large parts. It can process 16 materials, from thermoplastics to high-performance polymers. The 2.7 x 1.7 x 2 metre devices weigh around 2.9 tonnes. The systems can be used to produce elaborate and complex spare parts for ships and aeroplanes on site. The practically immediate availability significantly increases the operational readiness of the units. In addition to the printers themselves, the total price also includes costs for installation, training and technical support.<\/p>\n
A 3D printer was installed on board a Navy ship for test purposes for the first time back in 2014. On board the amphibious landing ship USS Essex<\/span> initial experience with the harsh environment at sea was gained. The movements of the ship underway caused problems at the time, which impaired the required accuracy during production.<\/p>\n Text: mb; Photo: Stratasys<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" F\u00fcr insgesamt 20 Millionen Dollar bestellt die US Navy beim amerikanischen Hersteller Stratasys 3-D-Drucker. 25 Exemplare des Typs F900 sollen bis August 2026 ausgeliefert und an verschiedenen Standorten installiert sein.
