Notable 3D printed weapons and parts

The table below lists noteworthy 3D printed weapons (mainly 3D printed firearms) and parts.

The Liberator .380 was the first 3D printed plastic gun made widely available online. It was a single shot pistol made using a Stratasys Dimension SST 3-D printer.

The Solid Concepts replica of the M1911 pistol was the first 3D printed metal gun, created using more than 38 printed parts; It has successfully fired more than 5000 rounds without damaging the gun.

Glossary of acronyms

 * FFF
 * Fused filament fabrication, a process that squeezes a molten filament.


 * FDM
 * Fused deposition modeling, a trademarked term for FFF.


 * DMLS / SLM
 * Direct metal laser sintering, a process that fuses metal powder by sintering.


 * SLM
 * Selective laser melting, a process that fuses metal powder by melting.


 * ABS
 * Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a common thermoplastic with relatively high heat resistance.
 * ABSplus is a stronger, proprietary blend of ABS by Stratasys.


 * PLA
 * Polylactic acid, a bio-plastic. Easier to print, stiffer, and more brittle than other plastics.
 * PLA+ is a term for any blend that enhances some characteristic.


 * PETG
 * Polyethylene terephthalate (glycol-modified), a plastic made by changing the chemicals used to synthesize the more common PET. Easier to print than ABS, and moderately better heat resistance than PLA.
 * Often used in consumer-level printers when creators desire better heat resistance than PLA+ or need more flexibility.


 * ECM
 * Electrochemical machining, a process that uses electricity to chemically machine metal. Commonly used in 3D printed firearms to create DIY barrels with rifling, greatly increasing accuracy.

FCG


 * Fire control group, the trigger mechanism of a firearm. Commonly used to refer to the AR-15 fire control group.
