Abstract
3D printing is going to play a huge role in the world’s industries whether we like it
or not, however with the limitless possibilities of what you can 3D print, there will be
misuse of the technology. Most of us have already heard about the Liberator, and
how it was the first 3D printed weapon that could fire a bullet, but how far have we
come since then? The purpose of this study is to inquire more knowledge about the
misuse of 3D printers, in the forms of firearms.
