http://www.defcad.com/ oh happy day, oh happy day. I hope Defense Distributed will come out with their own 3D printer. I've only used one of my buddy's Rep Rap, and I'm waiting on the one I ordered through backing one on Kickstarter, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1874396831/eventorbot-open-source-3d-printer?ref=live but it'd be neat to get one from Defense Distributed. Got to love technology. The mags I've printed on my buddies Rep Rap have been great. Ugly as sin but they'll run so long as you have a floor plate, spring, and follower for them, his can't manage followers that don't require a great deal of hand filing and finishing. I'm not going to attempt a plastic printed receiver with anything hotter than .22lr and i'll overbuild mine like you can't believe. Oh happy day, oh happy day.

Those 3D printers are truly impressive devices. Now for a low cost 3D scanner, so as to make a "photocopier" that can easily and inexpensively make copies. Have you see the demonstrations where they are attempting to "print" using PMC and other metal clays? If the people playing with that get their work right, metals can be "printed." I observed a demonstration using bronze PMC, very impressive, you would think the piece was machined.

Looks like a drone and therefore.....scary.[8D]

What you are looking at is the next manufacturing technology, in its infancy.

There are a number of techniques for 3D "printing" with plastics and also with metal and other materials. A daughter, her husband and his friend bought a kit and built one of the syringe based units, and have been having a fun and profitable time with it. They claim they can even configure it to use chocolate or cheese to make food items.
