Terrorism, War and Defense - How 3D Printing Will Change it All

As numerous patents for 3D printing begin to expire regarding SLS technology, the dam is going to break open even further for the industry as competitors are able to offer more technology with higher quality and even greater affordability. Innovations in 3D printing are already taking the manufacturing and engineering sectors by storm, and experts are beginning to study the impact 3D printing will likely have in the areas of the defense industry, wartime measures, and terrorism. Much remains to be seen as inventions continue to be developed, but it is thought that 3D printing may completely transform foreign policy and the manufacturing of weapons, as well as aircraft development and more.

yeah once metal printing machines start hitting the $10,000 and below price tag, then making proper hi-spec weapons in your garage will become not only possible but extremely profitable.

Instead of arms smuggling, all you'll need to do is get a few cad files and start her up.

Want an untraceable gun ? make your own.
Plastic guns aren't going anywhere - but cheap metal sintering opens up a whole new cupboard of horrors.
