Get a shot of the 'genuine' gun from the world's first 3D printer

Unlike the first 3D-rendered gun, Liberator, this 3D-rendered gun is made of metal, which looks very similar to a conventional gun, never encountered any problems in operation and has fired 50 times. bullet.

Solid Concepts, the company that makes the metal rifle, says it has used lime sintering and a variety of metal powders to make the product.

According to Solid Concepts, the creation of "real guns" by 3D printing proves that the potential of 3D printing is huge, far exceeding the threshold of "printing jewelry and Yoda's head (a character in Star Wars "as people often think."

Fortunately, ordinary people can hardly print 3D Solid Concepts guns. " There are a number of barriers that prevent people from accessing this technology in the years to come," said Solid Concepts vice president of marketing Scott McGowan of The Verge. These barriers include high equipment costs, as well as technical requirements for operation.

"We just proved that this is possible, 3D printing has reached the threshold of 3D metal cannon print," said company vice president of manufacturing Kent Firestone. To negate concerns that the 3D gun project could endanger the community, Firestone said the company is "the only 3D print service licensed to use a federal gun."
