Digital construction technology, also known as 3D printing or additional manufacturing, creates natural objects from a geometric representation by successive addition of materials. This constantly evolving technology is widely used in the world, with applications in various fields, increasingly for mass adaptation and production of any type of open source designs in various fields, such as biomedical engineering, automotive, aeronautics, architecture and general production of products. This innovation can print an object, layers by layer, by depositing layer material directly from a computer-aided design (CAD) model. This paper presents an overview of the types of additive manufacturing technologies, the applications of 3D printing technology as well as the materials used for additive manufacturing technology in the manufacturing industry. Its main theme is the use of additive manufacturing in the defense and war industry, and to what extent it has achieved, both operational readiness and defense capability, its advantages in parts and products that participate in the battlefield, while remarkable is also its contribution, which will be commented on, in the supply chain of an army, and how much it has facilitated the presence of parts and accessories on the front line of the battle. The presence and replacement of these parts is a job that needs to be done quickly, perfectly and where needed, and that is a job of additive manufactuting.
