Curious use of technology
From
Forbes Magazine:
This Is The World's First Entirely 3D-Printed Gun
Eight months ago, Cody Wilson set out to create the world�s first entirely 3D-printable handgun.
Now he has.
Early next week, Wilson, a 25-year University of Texas law student and founder of the non-profit group Defense Distributed, plans to release the 3D-printable CAD files for a gun he calls �the Liberator,� pictured in its initial form above. He�s agreed to let me document the process of the gun�s creation, so long as I don�t publish details of its mechanics or its testing until it�s been proven to work reliably and the file has been uploaded to Defense Distributed�s online collection of printable gun blueprints at Defcad.org.
I would not want to try and fire it -- polymer is no match for a hundred grains of powder but the concept is fascinating.
Great
choice of name by the way...
