AFMES continually enhances joint MWD training

Designed using a hobby license of Autodesk Fusion and printed using a hobby grade fused deposition model (FDM) printer, this image shows a casing called a Narcotics Printed Protection Enclosure (NPPE), developed by the Joint Military Working Dog Laboratory within the Forensic Toxicology Department at the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System. The design has been an iterative process between the laboratory and the 436th Security Forces MWD kennel. The NPPE is designed to not only offer greater protection for narcotic training aids but has the potential to expand training possibilities. (courtesy photo)
