May 08, 2013 Printing “pew pew”
We’ve mentioned 3D printing a few times on Imprint Culture Lab’s blog. But this past week 3D printing may have just shown a possible downside. Defense Dist. a nonprofit group that is focused on “creating a freely available plan for 3D printable gun”, has released a video of a 3D printed gun being fired. Question is how will they keep these from landing in the bad guys hands.
Here is the video being distributed.
Defense Dist. also operates DEFCAD a site which distributes CAD plans for gun parts, check out the video of this AR-15 30 Round Mag.
As 3D printing gets to be more accessible to people, let’s hope that they use them responsibly.
