I can't open the link except for seeing the picture. Surely to goodness though, ballistics would fucking destroy a gun consisting of arefully place seperate portions of something. Surely to goodness its easier to mill and cast a reliable gun, the proper way, than it is to print one.
Am I missing something?
- Presumably if you have a decent 3d printer, it'd be much easier to print a barrel than mill one...detritus
- ...even if it is just a one-shot deal.detritus
- Anyway this is all early doors - no one's realistically suggesting people are going to print Uzis tomorrow.detritus
- Use the 3D printed parts as molds for casting?i_monk

Also there are material breakthroughs in cell chips. They are looking for cheaper plastics with conductive properties. Those seem ideal for this type of combination. However for 3d printing, heat or proxy production of holding material together from powder. or cut from solid block which has limitations on design, produces waste. Powder/proxy or heat is flexible but bond seems weaker.

Dunno what the big deal is... People have been selling 80% AR lower receivers for years. You do the remaining 20% machining at home and you now have a homebuilt AR-15.

Ehhh...am I missing something? The only 3D printers Ive used print in either starch or plastic. Some parts would have to be made out of steel right? Barrel, firing mechanisms...etc?
- 3d printers do strong piolymer plastics and metals too.detritus
- ...what did you use one for, btw?detritus
- Product/environmenta... models while I was in school. I didn't know they printed in metal now. Rad...JackRyan

...well couldn't you print certain parts in hard wax and convert to metal via lost-wax casting? or build 1:1 positives to act as plugs for carbon fiber forms?
- I'd be surprised if they could print hot wax - wax is a fiddly fucker like that,.. but yeah, in plastics, why not?detritus
- fine print low heat plastic that can act in the same manner, melt away when thrown in an ovenprophetone

Guns don't kill people, 3D printers do.
