3D-printed gun company gets machinery repossessed by manufacturer

Stratsys is this year’s King Canute. 3D printing is the unstoppable future, and data for making firearms will proliferate.

The day is fast approaching when we’ll be able to do the same for larger and more complex products like cars. Lawmakers need to get ready.
