ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — When you walk into this investigation lab you hear the overpowering hum of massive machines with robotic components swinging past viewing windows as technicians spray objects with lasers attached to limber metallic arms.
Fifty years ago what goes on in this lab would have been deemed science fiction, but what these Army researchers do is scientific reality.
These artisan engineers create 3-dimensional objects out of plastic and metal in printers that seem much more like Star Trek replicators.
