Absztrakt
In the world of 3D printing, additive technology that uses multiple raw materials in parallel is a special field. It offers amazing advantages but also poses challenges in both factories and design interfaces. Segmented design, which fills every segment of space with data, offers the possibility of using special raw materials and combinations, which in many respects yields astonishing results. There is also a place for this technological innovation in the defence sector, but there are still limitations at present. These are particularly evident in the areas of material compatibility and quality assurance. Regardless, research into military applications is necessary, even if there are still obstacles in this area.
