In 2025, Puzzlebox 3D facilitated a specialized training session in additive manufacturing at its office for representatives from the Philippine Air Force. The visit focused on how 3D printing technologies can support research, development, and innovation within the country’s defense sector. This engagement reflects a shared commitment toward changing local capabilities for modern manufacturing solutions in national defense.
What We Did
The technical professionals at Puzzlebox 3D carried out hands-on training and technical demonstrations on 3D printing fundamentals and practice. Real-world use cases, material, and workflows associated with research and development in the field of defense were demonstrated, including rapid prototyping, the creation of functional parts, and design optimization.
Highlights of the Event
The training exposed the Air Force team directly to industrial and desktop 3D printing technologies, basically stressing that speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency are crucial in R&D. The big panel discussions focused on how additive manufacturing cuts ties with outsourced suppliers, hastens innovation, and supports the country's goal of self-reliance in its defense industry.
