Print Your Own Real Gun with a 3D Printer
Depending on your opinion of guns, this could be good news or bad news. But it also shows how advanced 3D printers are. An organization called Defense Distributed is in the process of producing he Wiki Gun, a plastic gun that can be printed out in your own home with a 3D printer. And the gun can even shoot real bullets. Of course, 3D printers can be used to print more politically correct items such as houses.
3D printing companies are not widespread, but there are some, involved in both the software side and the hardware side of the business. According to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are ten 3D printing stocks involved in 3D printing.
Looking at hardware, there is Stratasys, Inc. (SSYS), which produces three-dimensional printers, rapid prototyping systems, and related consumable materials.
