Piece of a 3D-printed Defense Distributed AR-57. A 3D-printed firearm is a firearm that is partially or primarily produced with a 3D printer.While plastic printed firearms are associated with improvised firearms, or the politics of gun control, digitally-produced metal firearms are more associated with commercial manufacturing or experiments in traditional firearms design.
The gun is made up of 34 3D-printed components. [17] Notable as the first fully metal 3D-printed firearm.

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 Liberator is a 3D-printable single-shot handgun, the first such printable firearm design made widely available online. [2] [3] [4] The open source firm Defense Distributed designed the gun and released the plans on the Internet on May 6, 2013.
The magazine is 3D-printable, and the entire design works without needing any commonly regulated, commercial gun parts. The bolt carrier assembly, a stress-bearing component, is manufactured from steel bar stock and processed by sawing, drilling, filing, cleaning, and using adhesives to secure the steel parts to a plastic housing.
The design is a remix of an earlier 3D printable firearm, the Shuty AP-9 pistol by Derwood. [9] Where the "Shuty" relied on several factory-made or machined gun parts (like the barrel) in order to be completed, the FGC-9 made ergonomic and mechanical changes to accommodate builders without access to commercial gun parts or machine shops.
Deterrence Dispensed is best known for developing and releasing the FGC-9, a 3D printed carbine requiring no regulated parts. [9] At the peak of its popularity, the group also distributed blueprints for AR-15s, an AKM receiver called the "Plastikov", handgun frames, and a magazine for Glock pistols named after New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who once pushed for crackdowns on the online ...
