Colorado House Bill 26-1144 advanced in a 7-4 vote to prohibit 3D printing firearms and untraceable parts. 🏛️ Effective July 1, 2026, it criminalizes the possession and distribution of digital manufacturing files. 📉 This signals a pivot from regulating hardware to controlling the digital instruction set itself. ⚖️ As repeat offenses escalate to felonies, the industry faces systemic pressure regarding decentralized file-sharing and hardware liability. 🛡️ #3DPrinting #AMIndustry #Colorado
