Would you install this on your printer? 🖨️
These two companies had partnered up to create a software that tracks what you print on your 3D printer.
More specifically weapons (pew pews)
If any of you have seen the Jackal (Its a TV show on Peacock) - then you may have noticed how this series uses 3D Printers to create weapons of their own in the show. Even simple printers such as an Ender 5 to create parts.
But real life is nothing like the show, and there are people using 3D Printing to create "pew pews" which can be concerning especially if they aren't trained and/or parents with kids who have access to these machines.
I'm sharing this to bring awareness and hopefully create meaningful discussions 🧐
Here is the TLDR of the article.
Two initiatives are tackling the issue of illegal firearm production through 3D printing by creating software to detect and prevent the manufacture of untraceable gun parts.
- 3DPrinterOS, in partnership with Montclair State University's MIX Lab, has developed an algorithm that identifies 3D-printed firearm components.
2. Print&Go introduced "3D GUN’T," a system designed to block the production of unregistered, untraceable firearms, commonly known as ghost guns.
Here is the link to the article
But I'm curious to hear your thoughts? Would you install a software to monitor/limit what you print or do you think this is a thing we need?
I've also provided an image of a raid on someone printing these things.
