Recently, there many are\u00a0 talks about 3D printing. One of the widely discussed topic is whether 3D printing can open the doors to cheap, easily accessible weapons<\/a> (e.g. guns). Not too long ago, we had seen people making a gun with 3D printing but it is not that successful yet.<\/p>\n

\"3d-gun\"<\/p>\n

The company behind this 3D printed, Solid Concepts, is a licensed gun maker. They did mention that they did not do this to prove that they can print a gun. Instead, they are trying to prove their metal laser sintering technology. Not all parts are made by the 3D printer. Some of them (spring, magazine) are bought off the shelves.<\/p>\n

They mentioned that this 3D printing of the metal gun (actually a model 1911 pistol) is unlike those done by amateurs. It is printed on a US$500,000 machine and they think that it will be able to help gunsmiths acquire difficult-to-build parts using this technology.<\/p>\n
