Only the criminals get non-DRM 3D printers in the future?
- bifrost 7y agoLikely accurate. People will have to resort to regular metalwork after that. Or going to Home Depot.
- Junk_Collector 7y agoThis is getting beat up but it's prescient. There have already been calls for DRM inclusion on 3D printers and consumer CNC machines. The bans start with objects of violence, i.e. guns and knives. Next it will be to prevent copyright violations. No more printing your own warhammer figurines or Micky Mouse Novelty phone holders. Then we move on to objects of sexual deviance, gotta think of the kiddos. Eventually it leads to the day where you are buying 3D printers that only print from a pre-approved and monitored repository of models. But don't worry, you can upload your owns models to Google-CAD!
