A British Columbia man was sentenced to 8 years in prison for illegal 3D-printed firearm manufacturing and drug trafficking. This case highlights the enforcement of Canada’s Bill C-21, which criminalizes the distribution of digital firearm files. For the AM industry, it signals a systemic shift toward stricter regulation of decentralized production. Expect a future focus on hardware-level safeguards and tighter controls on critical components to curb the rise of untraceable ghost guns. 🛡️ #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #PublicSafety
