> (d) “Three-dimensional printer” means a computer-aided manufacturing device capable of producing a three-dimensional object from a three-dimensional digital model through an additive manufacturing process that involves the layering of two-dimensional cross sections formed of a resin or similar material that are fused together to form a three-dimensional object. https://law.justia.com/codes/california/code-civ/division-3/part-4/title-21/section-3273-60/ https://law.justia.com/codes/california/code-civ/division-3/... I expect someone to get around this by modifying the slicing software to use a different algorithm that doesn't rely strictly on layering 2D cross sections.

-resin or similar material Or just start printing them out of something useful like metal

  Good point. Is metal powder "similar material"? What's the cheapest laser sinterer?
