Re: 3D Printed Gun in Metal
We did some work with Stereo Lithography (various types) in Waco at what is now L3 about 15 years ago (it was Raytheon and Chrysler Technologies back then). Basically it's an aircraft modification facility. Pretty cool stuff. I would make 3D models in Pro-E and send them to the 3D lab for printing on the stereo lithography machine. Some of those models would be used in show and tells with the clients (some full scale mockups) to show aircraft interiors.
Two of the other engineers at the time were doing research on other 3D printing technologies at the time. It was fascinating stuff. Some were using resins, some using paper (in 3D). I think it's pretty neat that they can produce metal now.
