3D Printed AR15 lower

Yes, I know it's a cliche, but this changes everything.  Not just in guns, but 3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the production of every single item we use.  Need a new lower receiver, spatula, chair, mailbox or any other object?  Print it.  When any object is just a CAD file away from production it will be impossible to ban anything.  Especially when, not if, this technology can be applied to metals.  Mark my words, 10-20 years from now you won't go to the store to buy things.  You'll get online and download a CAD file.

A little background on 3D printing:



The technology has been around for quite a while, but it's now getting cheap enough that almost anyone can afford it.  A quick web search found several printers for $1000 and lower.

RobertH:
crazy.

20nickels:
Now can it make me ammo? :/

SS_N_NE:
There are printers capable of metal printing. Contured parts do show some printer resolution but can be smoothed out like any other metal product.

20nickels:
Can it make Cathy Rankin?                                                                                                     cathyrankin.com
