3D-Printable Gun Project Announces Plans For A For-Profit Search Engine
Startup
For the last six months, Cody Wilson and his non-profit group Defense
Distributed have worked towards a controversial goal: To make as many
firearm components as possible into 3D-printable, downloadable files. Now
they’re seeking to make those files searchable, too–and to make a profit
while they’re at it.
In a talk at the South By Southwest conference in Austin, Texas Monday
afternoon, Wilson plans to announce a new, for-profit spinoff of his gun-
printing project that will serve as both a repository and search engine for
CAD files aimed at allowing anyone to 3D-print gun parts in their own garage
. Wilson says the startup, hosted at Defcad.com, will be a redesigned
version of a website Defense Distributed already maintains at Defcad.org for
uncensored printable gun component files. But Defcad, which launches next
month, will also host its own search engine for all types of 3D printable
files, displaying search results as rotatable and zoomable three-dimensional
models on a single page. |
