The UK National Crime Agency has issued a warning to university staff about the potential dangers of 3D printed guns, amid fears that students with an interest in 3D printing technology may be exploiting it to create homemade firearms. As the use of 3D printing technology becomes more widespread, concerns about its potential misuse are growing. The agency's bulletin highlights the need for universities to monitor students' activities and report any suspicious behaviour, in order to prevent the creation of illegal weapons and ensure campus safety and security, with a focus on crime prevention and law enforcement.
