The ACT Government is introducing the Firearms (Public Safety) Amendment Bill 2026, which criminalizes the possession of digital blueprints for 3D-printed weapons.

Originally reported by Mirage News

The ACT Government is introducing the Firearms (Public Safety) Amendment Bill 2026, which criminalizes the possession of digital blueprints for 3D-printed weapons. This reform limits individual ownership to 5 firearms and treats CAD data with the same legal severity as physical weapons. Systemically, this shifts regulatory focus from the factory floor to the digital supply chain. For the AM industry, this underscores a future where file traceability and data forensics are mandatory. 🛡️ #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #PublicSafety #Legislation
