    A black-and-white photograph showing a stenciled directional sign indicating the location of an RFAB (Rapid Fabrication) 3D Printing facility, with the point of contact listed as CW3 Adams. The sign is mounted on a wooden post and points to the right, with military-style shipping containers visible in the background. The setting appears to be a military forward operating base or installation.

    2nd Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade

    194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 2nd Sustainment Brigade, 520th Support Maintenance Company is home to the Army’s first 3D printer, located on Camp Humphreys, Republic of Korea. The printer is stored in a conex, which is ideal for rapid deployment to units in need. For the next year, the Research Development Engineering Command will evaluate how easily the process of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, allows 520th SMC to generate parts.

    A black and white photograph of a 3D printer in active operation, captured with motion blur on the print head indicating movement during exposure. The printer is positioned in what appears to be a workshop or laboratory environment with additional equipment visible in the background. A label reading 'ARDEC ARMAMENTS' is visible on equipment in the background.
    A black and white photograph featuring a hula dancer figurine holding a ukulele, positioned on a dark reflective surface. The figurine casts a dramatic shadow on the wall behind it, creating a striking silhouette. A blurred electronic device, possibly a webcam or camera mount, is visible in the background to the right.
    A person wearing camouflage clothing is closely examining or operating a 3D printer in a low-light environment. The image is captured from a low angle, emphasizing the bright light emitted from the printer's extruder nozzle. A filament spool is visible in the upper right, and the person appears focused on the print bed area.
    A close-up black and white photograph of a FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer extruder assembly in operation. The image captures the print head mechanism in detail, showing gears, stepper motor, and hot end nozzle depositing filament material onto the print bed. The shallow depth of field emphasizes the mechanical complexity of the extruder carriage.
    A close-up black and white photograph of a 3D printer extruder assembly in operation. The image shows the print head actively depositing melted filament material onto the build plate, with a small printed object visible beneath the nozzle. The mechanical components including gears, stepper motor, and guide rods are clearly visible.
    A black-and-white photograph showing a person leaning over what appears to be a 3D printer, with a bright light source emanating from the print head area. The machine features visible rails, belts, stepper motors, and a flexible cable conduit typical of FDM 3D printers. The person appears to be closely inspecting or adjusting the printer during operation.

The sign is mounted on a wooden post and points to the right, with military-style shipping containers visible in the background. The setting appears to be a military forward operating base or installation.
    A black-and-white close-up photograph shows a person holding a small dark mechanical or 3D-printed component in the palm of their hand. The object appears to have a cylindrical base with a flat rectangular tab or bracket extending from it, consistent with a 3D-printed part showing visible layer lines. The person is wearing what appears to be a camouflage or patterned jacket in the blurred background.
    A U.S. Army Airborne soldier in camouflage uniform is closely inspecting or adjusting a LulzBot TAZ 6 3D printer manufactured by Aleph Objects, Incorporated. The printer is labeled 'TAZ 1' and appears to be set up with Cura slicing software. The black-and-white photograph captures a military context for additive manufacturing technology.
