3D printers are a phenomenal technology that is currently continuously showing its existence in the IT world. Imagine, a tool that can print objects in 3D form. This technology has actually been used since long ago by corporate companies to make prototypes in mini form.
As time goes by, various improvements continue to be made. Currently, the level of accuracy in various 3D printer machines has reached millimeters. The materials used are varied, ranging from plastic, rubber, to metal.
What is quite sensational, some people have created 3D printers to make pistols. Although made of plastic (with the addition of some metal materials), the pistol can be used to shoot with caliber bullets (with some shortcomings).
Imagine if everyone downloaded the 3D blueprint model of the gun from the internet. If misused, everyone could have their own gun. Like a knife, whoever holds the object will determine the further meaning of the knife. Will it be useful as a cooking utensil in the kitchen, or become something else used in a crime.
By the way, the photo above is a post by a Reddit user who printed a basketball using a 3D printer. The concept is a basketball without air space (cavity) inside and using rubber as the molding material (
Reddit).
