3DPrinterOS and the MIX Lab have joined forces to develop an algorithm to detect 3D-printed firearm components based on unique design signatures.

As one of the first solutions of its kind, 3D GUN’T incorporates advanced algorithms capable of analyzing CAD files to detect components that match or resemble known firearm designs, immediately blocking any print jobs that match items in its extensive database.

Ok, just to be clear, the video title is clickbait bullshite, right? I'm seeing in the article that the machine will stop printing, but I don't see anything that says anyone will be contacted if a gun part is detected. Am I missing something, or is that youtuber just a jackass?

That's usually a safe bet.

From what I’ve gathered, these companies will track/store any and all prints their customers make into. If a law enforcement agency knows that a 3D printed firearm was used in a crime, they can possibly prove/link the origin based on suspects and their online accounts.

Ok, that's fair. Though I'm trying to figure out if that's better/worse/the same as normal printers printing tiny little colored dots on your pages so law enforcement can link anything you print back to you.
