"What is always missing": As foreigners print on 3D printers weapons for the Armed Forces (Video)

Only Polish volunteers have published more than a million products that were handed over to Ukraine for free. Owners of 3D printers from all over the world help to make goods for the Defense Forces of Ukraine. In Poland, a group of Wildbees volunteers is engaged in a 3D printing for the needs of the Ukrainian military. Some of the developments were told by the founder of Wildbees named Eman in an interview for Forbes from June 7.

Eman has joined the volunteer movement from the first days of the war in Ukraine, providing assistance from Poland. Subsequently, the volunteer focused on the army products that can be easily printed on a 3D printer. According to him, such products are of great demand - Wildbees has already printed more than a million samples, including thousands of different designs. All WildBees products are transmitted to Ukraine for free.

One of the most popular products is ammunition buildings, similar to those that the Ukrainian Volunteer Organization "Steel Horne" makes. It is about ammunition that the military is dropped from drones. Properly designed buildings make it possible to reset more precisely and cause maximum harm to the enemy. Demand is also in demand for UAV reset and camera drives printed on 3D printers. According to Eman, his team has developed a reset system that allows you to turn the FPV-Kamikadze into bombers.

The product is driven by the camera, which allows the FPV camera, which is usually directed forward, to turn down. With this FPV Dron technology, you can use it repeatedly. Before the production of the finished version of the kit was launched, volunteers have already received at least a thousand orders.

Other inventions of Wildbees mention: fell -to -evacuations, Kalashnikov's stores, UAV platforms, UAV launch platforms, Starlink satellite -launching platforms, FPV fastening clamps and traps for traps. "These are the things that everyone wants, so they are always missing," the publication said. The main advantage of the 3D printing is the ability to move from one product to another by one click, while traditional methods of production require more complex reconnection of equipment.

The presence of 3D printers makes it possible to quickly produce prototypes and promptly bring to the products of editing, taking into account users' feedback. Technology can easily adapt products, change their size and other parameters. Eman stressed that Wildbees is only part of a global network of volunteers who print products for the Ukrainian army on 3D printers. The network covers more than 20 countries, including the US and Canada, and several hundred volunteers.

The Polish organization noted that they are developing developments with other groups, but they are never enough. "We are dispersed, but we can act absolutely independently of each other as bees. Bee beehives as many as the countries in which they work, and our strength," said Wildbees founder.
