List of 3D printed weapons and parts explained

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.[1] [2]

The Solid Concepts replica of the M1911 pistol was the first 3D printed metal gun,[3] created using more than 38 printed parts;[4] It has successfully fired more than 5000 rounds without damaging the gun.[5]
