Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 16 April 2026 to Question 123579 on Unmanned Air Systems: 3D Printing, how many Bambu Lab printers have been purchased across the (a) Royal Navy, (b) British Army and (c) Royal Air Force; when the cyber assessment commenced; and what his timetable is for the publication of the results of the assessment.

I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave on 9 December 2025 to Question 95831 to the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr Obese-Jecty), which remains extant.

The cyber assessment commenced in December 2025 and is expected to conclude in the coming months. There is currently no intention to publish the results of the assessment externally, however the outcome will inform the development and issuing of policy governing the operational use of 3D printing technology.
