It is no secret
that this technology has been used by individuals to build guns. The first 3D
printed gun was unveiled publicly in May 2013.
In only one year and a half, 5
different models of guns have been manufactured with a 3D printer. As the
designs are open source it is very easy to get the file and to use it in order
to manufacture a gun. In our decade access to Internet has become so easy for
the most of the human beings thus the access to the open source files is even
easier. The first gun was the Liberator, a single shot handgun. The open source company Defense Distributed has
designed the gun and released the files on the internet on May 2013. The open source plan was downloaded
100,000 times before the US Depart of State asked to retract them but it was
too late as it already circulated madly though the internet and thus was hosted on file
sharing websites like Pirate Bay or Kickasstorrent.
Even if we have
noticed the incredible life-changing applications for 3D printing, indeed there
are some dangers generated from this breakthrough technology that arise some
important concerns and limits.
