This story has been posted many times, about the 1911 pistol that was produced from a 3D printer and apparently functions quite well.
According to this article, the printer itself, as well as the needed equipment that goes with it costs around $750,000, and takes a bit of machining expertise to use, so I won't be buying one any time soon.
I was just thinking about how this could affect the reproduction of antique firearms.
I would love if someone would make and market a new stainless Webley Fosbury, in .357 Magnum.
