Prague career firefighters print gear and spares at their own station

The professional fire brigade in Prague now makes mounts, tool holders and replacement parts at the station itself with a 3D printer. The crews attend up to 2,500 call-outs a year, and the printer is meant to speed up adapting equipment and replacing small damaged parts without a long procurement wait. The idea came from a firefighter who already used additive manufacturing privately.
