El futuro de la log\u00edstica del Cuerpo de Marines de EUA tuvo su prueba el mes pasado, cuando tropas desplegadas en el terreno, que realizaban un ejercicio operacional, \u00a0lograron fabricar con impresoras 3D, una manija de puerta de un HUMVEE, en medio del desierto de Arizona. La acci\u00f3n estuvo a cargo de una Unidad de apoyo log\u00edstico que fabric\u00f3 y reemplazo exitosamemente esa simple parte de un veh\u00edculo, bajo severas y austeras condiciones de despliegue operacional. Si bien se trata de una prueba aparentemente menor, abre enormes posibilidades al incorporar la capacidad de “fabricar” piezas de reemplazo, en lugar de esperar que el lento sistema de aprovisionamiento log\u00edstico lo provea. Esta capacidad resulta vital para el despliegue operacional del Cuerpo de Marines.<\/p>\n

\"MostrandoThe future of Marine Corps logistics took shape last month in the form of a plastic Humvee door handle printed in an Arizona desert. Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 372 successfully generated the replacement part using a 3-D printer under austere field conditions during the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course, a seven-week training school for advanced air and ground tactics aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m nerdy, so to me this is pretty awesome,\u201d Capt. Marc Blair, combat engineer officer with the unit, said in a statement. \u201cImagine what the battlefield could be like in 15 years.\u201d MWSS-372 became one of the first units in the Marine Corps to experiment with 3-D printing — also known as \u201cadditive manufacturing\u201d — after Commandant Gen. Robert Neller put out a call to action in September for Marines to begin exploring the new technology that allows a user to design and fabricate parts on the spot.<\/p>\n

Marine administrative message\u00a0 489\/16<\/a>\u00a0lays out policy guidance on using 3-D printers to fix or replace worn and broken parts, redesign existing parts and conjure up entirely new parts which might do the job better.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, [additive manufacturing] can \u2018print\u2019 prosthetics, electronic components, large scale decoys, unmanned aerial vehicles and expeditionary shelters,\u201d the MARADMIN states. \u201cThe uses and limits of [3-D printing] have only just begun to be discovered.\u201d<\/p>\n

The potential impact on the Corps is enormous, especially downrange.\u00a0 While high-end items tend to be generally well-stocked, smaller, cheap plastic parts — like Humvee handles — are all-too-often harder to come by.<\/p>\n

Blair chanced upon a 3-D printer demonstration while attending an emerging technologies roadshow held by Marine Corps Systems Command to scope new engineering gear. He recognized its potential, and spearheaded efforts to procure funding for a 3-D printer for MWSS-372 through Installations and Logistics\u2019 Next Log Innovation Cell.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really basic model,\u201d said Capt. Kristina Warren, motor transport company commander with MWSS-372, in the release. \u201cIt\u2019s actually meant for K-12 students in order to get the basics of 3-D printing down.\u201d Setting the machine up took three hours the first time, Warren said, but she is confident it would take less than an hour now that they\u2019re familiar with it.<\/p>\n

The print time for the new handle: 45 minutes. \u201cBeing able to quick[ly] print a part instead of having to wait for the field supply system could give us some huge capabilities in the long run,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
