The ACT Government has introduced the Firearms (Public Safety) Amendment Bill 2026, formally criminalizing the possession of 3D-printed firearm blueprints. This reform shifts additive manufacturing regulation from physical components to digital design assets, impacting an estimated 1400 license holders currently owning over 5 firearms. For the industry, this signals a future of heightened liability for digital file distribution and stricter oversight of distributed manufacturing data. 🛡️⚖️ #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #ACTGov #Policy
