Building a military boat traditionally requires molds, fiberglass layup, skilled labor, a fixed factory, and weeks of production time. A Hawaii-based startup called Voltage Vessels is working to replace that entire process with a 3D printer, a spool of basalt-reinforced

Legislators across the U.S. are proposing laws to force “print blockers” on 3D printers sold in their states. This mandated censorware is doomed to fail for its intended purpose, but will still manage to hurt the professional and hobbyist communities relying on these tools.

California’s A.B. 2047 mandates censorware on 3D printers, criminalizes open-source alternatives, and risks innovation, surveillance, lock-in, and free expression. EFF warns of severe threats to innovation and rights.
