Direct metal laser processes which make the gun in 20-40 hours. The one shown here has fired 1000 rounds. Controversial gun making in the world of 3D Printing
By using a precise form of additive manufacturing (layering material), as opposed to subtractive (removing material), a new technology called 3D printing prints a complex three-dimensional object from raw materials. These raw materials can range from PVC plastic to titanium metal to bio-ink, and through the precision of inkjet-like printing heads, can be formed into […]
