The US organization wants to make plans for the gun of the 3D printer available online. President Trump, whose government authorized this comparison in June, wants to check again Causa

Not only what comes out of the printer in the end, also indignation is very plastic in the United States: L & "Distributed Defense" organization wanted from today plans for weapons from 3D printers on the net
Dangerous "Wiki Weapons"
L & # 39; badociation, behind which is self-proclaimed "crypto-anarchist" Cody Wilson (25) occupies planning, development and (theoretically also) with the production of weapons models available for free. The components of the so-called "Wiki Weapons" come from 3D printers. The fact that this may even happen after an initial ban is due to a controversial extrajudicial settlement with the US government under the chairmanship of Donald Trump, who has authorized online weapons plans.
On the other hand, a wall of resistance has formed: Bob Ferguson, Attorney General of Washington State, Washington, USA, filed a preliminary injunction against the settlement at a federal court in Seattle that seeks to sue the Trump government in Seattle federal court. He fears for public safety: the plans gave "criminals and terrorists access to 3D printed, non-traceable and untraceable weapons". Attorneys General of 20 US states and Washington's Capital District joined the critics and wrote a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions
M. Haas, are you the head of the Institute of Industrial Engineering Graz University of Technology Explain the basic principle of 3D printing? Where are the beginnings?
FRANZ HAAS: The 3D-Duck is basically not new. It all started with Chuck Hull's first stereolithography factory in the United States in the mid-1980s. In this case, a laser light was used for localized polymerization of a photopolymerizable liquid resin. Layer by layer, this creates the 3D object. The characteristic of all 3D printing processes is therefore the layered structure with typical layer thicknesses from about 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm, whether by melting or powder bonding, l & rsquo; Application of liquid plastic or hardening mentioned in a liquid plastic bath, In production engineering, the term 'additive manufacturing' is preferred for 3D printing
The 3D printing is going to- she revolutionize the industry?
HAAS: The revolution in the manufacturing sector is already in full swing. The prerequisite for the big breakthrough is that of the very well trained designers
What is possible?
HAAS: The great advance is currently being carried out in aviation. Here, cost savings through complex component geometries in lightweight construction are the largest and offset the higher production costs of the 3D printing process
Are devices already affordable for individuals? HAAS: Plastics of less than 1000 euros, superior qualities and volumes of construction can be achieved with systems from 5000 euros. On the other hand, we are going back upwards of 500,000 euros for 3D metal printers.
Trump, whose government approved the settlement with "Distributed Defense" that in June, appeared to at least partially retreat yesterday: Publish the production of firearms by means of ################################################################################# 39, 3D printers in the network, "should not be very meaningful," he informed on Twitter. He announced to verify the cause. He had spoken with the National Rifle Association (NRA) of the American Armaments Association, to which he had appeared in May as a speaker.
Wilson, who officially released the printer's gun with slogans like "The Age of Downloadable Weapon" spread, had already submitted in 2013 plans for the "Liberator" pistol: This consists almost entirely of plastic , is hardly recognized by metal detectors and has no serial number.Its name "Liberator" is used as a reference to the pistol "FP-45 Liberator" produced in the United States during the Second World War.
The legal situation in Austria
The possibilities offered by 3D printers seem, although not exhausted, huge: For example, on the Palmyra World Heritage site, which was destroyed by the Islamic State ( IS), an arch made of a 3D printer in 2016 marked the beginning of a symbolic reconstruction.But what is the legal situation in Austria? According to the Ministry of the Interior, the law on weapons does not explicitly regulate the production of firearms with the help of a 3D printer. By the expression of a firearm, the person concerned however comes into possession – this would be the relevant regulation on the possession of a firearm for the purpose of application.
At present, no case in Austria, even such a weapon has never been criminalized in the country. used, he said on request. In the United States, however, regardless of 3D printing, it is legal to manufacture firearms.
