Why all the hoopla over 3d printer guns?

Q. What are the odds that normal folks have 2 - 50k to shell out for the machines that do this stuff. Just more hysteria from the media.

Answer
Oh, you mean the thought that for say $5,000-$10,000 a group of terrorists like the Arian Brotherhood could create an arsenal of untraceable guns that could pass right through airport scanners, is all right with you? Well, it is NOT alright with 90% of Americans.

I have worked with 3D printers and the current generation IS capable of creating weapons that are untraceable and undetectable by airport scanners. And once you understand the process and practice creating the raw materials to print with you can literally create ceramic guns and cartridges and bullets that can't be detected by airport scanners. So what if one out of ten crack in the kiln if you are creating 1,000 that still leaves 900 working firearms.

i want to create a 3d model of a guitar. what ways are there to help me create it with the software i have, as in importing photo files or a scanning the guitar itself?


Answer
if you meant to design 3D guitar on computer, you could simple collect measurements and re draw image in 3D editor like Sketchup

could be use to take photos and place visually into rendered object of guitar body

if you meant to actually make model as life size copy,
that would require laser scanner and printer
