3D Printing Firearms?

People might think I'm pretty late to be amused by this technology but damn this is incredible. In this month I've came across two videos discussing 3D printing.

Printing objects with plastic according to 3D design software you will have boundless creations just within your house. Almost everything can be built and print straight off from this printer and in an instant. What's so great about it is that you can forge/design experiment items straight away and customise things to suit yourself. I think within 5-10 years when it becomes a common household hardware it will change the way we interact with products. It will become a threat to many brands. Although it seem beneficial for us, it always have its side effects and threats towards the community.

People have already use the printer to produce firearms thats just as powerful as guns purchase from stores. With new technology there are always lots of unclear laws to control the use. A great example would be the internet and music... It will always serve as a lesson to be revied on whenever a big new invention gets created.

First video talks about the future of 3D printing and it's great potential.


Second video is a documentary on 3D Printed Firearms across America.
