Solid Concepts

A Texas company has made the world’s first metal gun using a 3D printer. The fully functioning, semi-automatic .45-caliber pistol made by Austin-based Solid Concepts is modeled on on the Browning 1911 firearm. It’s been safely fired 50 times, and as for accuracy, the gun was able to strike a target bull’s-eye at more than 30 yards.

Solid Concepts said it is not trying to promote the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, nor is it providing a method for the masses to make their own guns.

“We’re doing this legally,” says Kent Firestone, the vice president of additive manufacturing. “In fact, as far as we know, we’re the only 3D printing service provider with a Federal Firearms License. Now, if a qualifying customer needs a unique gun part in five days, we can deliver.”

Here is today’s report.
