Abstract

The purpose of the research presented in the article is to examine 3D printing, the best-known type of additive manufacturing technology today, and its potential applications within the technical units of the Hungarian Defence Forces. In the first part of the paper, we describe the 3D printing process and classification according to various aspects, as well as the manufacturing process from design to the finished product. We then outline the strategic goals and the advantages of this manufacturing technology, justifying its legitimacy as a modern manufacturing method in the execution of military tasks. In the main part of the paper, we present the personnel and material conditions, possibilities and limitations of applying 3D printing technology in military contexts. All of this contributes to the organisational development required for applying the manufacturing process, education exploring further application possibilities and minimising potential risks associated with the manufacturing technology.
