3d printers run on GCode. Does that count as a “digital model”?
Are we licensing CNC mills too now? Or laser cutters?
Not an American, but it really reads like they redefined 3D printer as meaning "literally any kind of cnc machine".
Just wait till they find out about regular paper printers...
They are not producing 3D objects though, unless you go in with a microscope which I belive is out of scope.
Except for copiers that can do binding.
True but they never work.
In that case one of my 3D printers would be exempt too.
"Sorry snotwrangler, you're legal"
They could print out a cut and fold guide to make a 3d object. Not saying that is a reasonable read of this, just something to argue in court if this somehow makes it to law.
So a manual mill and a receiver blank are not? If you wanted to build something like this yourself, this is a better option than a 3d printer.
As broad as possible – as always.
