The Army is developing its own 3D printers and cheap

The U.S. Army is working very hard on developing their own 3D printer models, which by the way will be cheaper than commercial models. Apparently they have had to proceed in this way because of the high prices in the market are handled.
A 3D printer in the U.S. costs about $ 3000, but the Army model costs only $ 700, making it more than 4 times cheaper. These printers are being developed in the Future Warfare Center located in Alabama. The use that will give these printers is fairly obvious, since you'll need the army is sending supplies of all kinds to their lines that are in the front.
As you know with these printers can produce almost anything we imagine, and can be transported in the back of a van.
It would be nice to launch his model to the market, do not you think?
