Interesting article about an interesting topic. Anyone know anything about 3D printing?
search FR .. stay tuned .. LOTS now and more on the way.
This 3-D printing thing apparently started back in the ‘90s. I worked for an aerospace company that bought one of these machines early on. The purpose was to “proof” part designs by printing the part out and examining it and its functionality. The material that the printed part was composed of was certainly not substantial enough to permit its use as a genuine part. Gun barrels are typically forged steel. I cannot imagine a printed gun barrel having the strength required to withstand the explosive discharge of a bullet. Perhaps there is something that I am not understanding here. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Null and void runs the 3D printing Ping List. Send him a Freepmsil and he will set you up.
XONE will print plastic, ceramic and metal but their printers are prohibitively expensive for most people.
I suspect printer sales will be highly regulated or even prohibited. Also attempts to stop open source designs for weapons.
Another problem is TSA. It's not hard at all to figure out how to get one through. Take out the firing pin.
Dentists are using them for things they used to have to send off to be made as the patient waits in the ofice. I have in vested in Organavo, which is working on making 3D organs, they have already made a small liver and are working on kidneys.
