- Police are now detecting past guns by identifying microscope tool marks left by 3D printer hardware
- Thang Verus is using automation to upload Blue Print files of dangerous weapons
- Legislators want to build 3D printers in AI tools that prevent firearms printing
The rapid spread of 3D printing guns online is examining law enforcement and lawmakers, as regulators begin to deal with the uncertain consequences of accessible digital manufacturing.
The popular platform, Thangsuri, called the world’s largest reservoir of the 3D printer model files, has now become the focus of the focus in efforts to prevent the spread of guns in the past.
Following the New York Police Department’s investigation, hundreds of downloadable weapons files were found on the Files – which once downloaded, almost anyone can be used with 3D printer to make working firearms parts.
Crack down on file sharing platforms
In response to this, Cheesarie has added automatic tools designed to detect and prevent gun file uploads before going directly to the site.
This is a quick problem within 3D printing communities, and as the platform grows, it becomes more difficult to manage harmful or illegal material.
Access to dangerous Blue Prints is difficult to overcome, especially when file sites run with a little surveillance, and with changes in the platform, officials are now turning to hardware makers.
Manhattan District Attorney Elon Brigg has asked companies like Bambo Lab to create AI systems that can scan CAD files before printing.
The goal is to find the model to find gun blueprints and stop them on the printer.
Law enforcement agencies are working to build road blocks, making it difficult to make irreparable firearms.
Beyond the prevention, investigators are also looking for ways to detect weapons hidden on their sources.
Researchers are studying the tool marks left on printed items. These are small samples that are produced by the printer’s unique settings, nozzle shape, and flime path.
These marks may not be similar to a pretending printer, but they can help to bother where a weapon has come.
Factors such as exterior size, print temperature, and bed surface affect these marks that make tracking more complicated.
Nevertheless, such forensic work shows that the printed weapons are not anonymous as many people once believed.
Whether a high -end 3D engraved car or on a cheap desktop unit, printed items can take indicators that connect them to some machines.
With the guns of the past, the race between access and control is clearly underway, and the result is not yet known.
