The metal 3D printer has been used by the Australian Army in the field, but this was the company’s first opportunity to test it against a marine environment aboard the SDTS. Even though the ship was ported, the high winds caused it to rock slightly, allowing the Spee3D crew to do a test print in at-sea-like conditions. The Spee3D team successfully printed five small bronze anchors to mark the occasion. (U.S. Navy photo by Teri Carnicelli/Released)
