The bill would require consumer 3D printers sold in California to include "firearm blocking technology" that checks design files before a print job can begin.
This first bill allows the state of California to regulate and oversee all 3D prints in the name of public safety.
Right, but it’s not something the printer does at all right now, I assume. Someone gives me Russian text to retype, I retype the letters, but I don’t speak Russian so I can’t be meaningfully asked to specifically not retype anything about highway design.
True but if you’re an organization tasked with spying of what ppl to make sure they aren’t innovating, or whatever, it isn’t hard to setup, it being in gcode isn’t a big hurdle here.
