Who would have thought that one day you could print a motorized, flying object.  Marines were trained how to build, fly and fix the Nibbler, the Marine Corps' first 3D-printed drone at a workshop at Marine Base Quantico, Virginia.

Conceptualized by U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Terran Mace, Georgian Liaison Team joint fires observer, whose unit experienced a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonation outside of Bagram Airfield September 2017, the MACE device is designed to keep U.S. and coalition service members safe within a cordon.
