New York is proposing nation-leading legislation to mandate software blocks in 3D printers, preventing the production of untraceable firearms. The law requires manufacturers to implement firmware barriers that detect and block weapon-related geometry. With 74% of NY voters supporting these measures, this signals a systemic shift toward hardware-level regulation in the AM sector. 🛡️ For OEMs, this introduces high compliance liability and impacts the open-source desktop market. #3DPrinting #AMIndustry #LegalTech
