Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer (Technology in Action) Patrick Hood-Daniel, James Floyd Kelly
Publisher: Apress

Not because the Constitution remains silent on the question of printers, but because current manufacturers might not love the idea of new technology messing with their bottom line. A 3-D printing pioneer explains the technology's capabilities and limitations in manufacturing arms.

Maybe instead of printing with $30 spools of plastic you could print with empty shampoo bottles and milk jugs. What can be built will be built. For anyone who has ever had to assemble IKEA furniture, that might not be very reassuring but if you're not sure you could hack it, here is a picture a little kid making his own toy shop using a 3D printer: We may need a few more years before we can 3D print a house but make no mistake, this is a technological revolution poised to alter the way businesses do business. Official support for BuildYourTools 3D Printers, and the book "Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer (Technology in Action)" by Patrick Hood-Daniel and James Floyd Kelly. 3D printing is a relatively new technology. Lawmakers seem reluctant to take decisive action. Forbes published an article on Friday about Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old University of Texas law student who set out a short eight months ago to print a plastic gun with a 3-D printer. I have been hearing for years about people using 3-D printers to make parts for guns. Researchers at Michigan Technological University have created a plastic extruder, called Filabot, that turns home recyclables into usable filament for 3D printing. As you may have guessed, lawmakers are already working on legislation to ban the technology, though it is unclear if they intend to ban just the production of 3-D printed firearms, or the printers themselves, which are available “Security checkpoints, background checks and gun regulations will do little good if criminals can print their own plastic firearms at home and bring those firearms through metal detectors with no one the wiser,” Israel said in a statement. Instead of ink, it uses materials such as liquid plastic or powder as we saw in the above video. But, let's be honest, you're soooo expensive. A Chicago company, called The 3D Printer Experience is hoping to bring this technology to the masses. But how could a company profit off of you providing your own plastic?
