The recent arrival of AMMO Additive Manufacturing for Munitions and Ordnance has begun by "dipping its toes" into traditional caliber spaces, like 9mm, .22, .380, .45 ACP, 12 gauge, .357 MAG, 7.62, and .223. These calibers form the basis for many of the ammunition available to military and civilians, from small arms cartridges to shotgun shells and rifle rounds.


The integration of AMMO technologies into their production processes demonstrates great potential for appreciable advancements in ammunition design and performance, as well as in manufacturing efficiency. Manufacturing techniques in additive engineering are highly precise and flexible. They have already proven to be very useful in the development of increasingly complex internal geometries of bullets and cartridge casings that can aid in improving ballistic performance and material efficiency.

i dont understand this article
it is not explaining any new technology, new materials or new processes. it just states that they are being "worked on" and "upcoming" and "being tested" and "could enable"
is there something i am missing?
