I'm Corporal Savannah Mosby with your Marine Minute.

Marines with 1st Maintenance Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, recently used a 3-D printer to make a metal impeller fan for an Assault Breaching vehicle. This technology allows Marines to shorten the process of replacing broken or worn parts for vehicles with parts they make from the 3-D printer. The ability to print off parts at a moments notice will save the Corps time and money.
