I had a Titanium implant installed a few months ago. It finally healed up enough, so I went in and got two new crowns installed.
What does this have to do with guns?
The new teeth were made, on site with a 3D printer. I have read several things regarding the creation of firearm parts using 3D printers.
The material is durable enough for my major molars. This tells me that it may work fine for many firearm components.
While waiting for my face to numb up we talked about it. The device he has can only create items 1 inch in diameter, a cylinder shape. Not big enough to build a lower.

Man! How the hell much does that kind of work cost?
One inch in Diameter? J.B., think of Custom Inserts to convert Calibers! A .308 Winchester insert for a 30-06, a 20 gauge for a 12 gauge, etc,etc,etc.
Nice! And I'm betting there WILL be larger printers out soon...
There are already bigger ones! Great stuff.
maybe a freedom arms style 22 revolver? in 22 short?
I bet you could even create the rifling in the barrel during the printing.
