Ukraine is 3d printing metal parts on the front lines. If you're able to just ship a printing medium to bases it greatly simplifies logistics.

It has to go further, like 3d printing a bullet in Putin's head?

Good, now extend this to the GAO that procures all of the DoD's state-side non-military vehicles.
