This page seems to be operating on a subjective definition of 3D-printing - more traditional definitions which work off "additive manufacturing" require you to include Laminated Object Manufacturing and automated tape-laying [1] as 3D-printing technologies, at which point a large number of composite airframes become 3D-printed (which would be extremely hard to cite/verify)
It may make more sense to focus on rapid prototyping technology like polymer FDM, SLA, and SLS. Trying to expand it to "3D printing" as a whole introduces significant editorial discretion and is probably casting a net that's too wide to be meaningful.
Or, potentially, it might make sense to say "metal 3D printing" and "plastic 3D printing" to give more narrow categories.
As-is, I agree with lower discussion titled "arbitrary topic" but wanted a more substantive, technical, and actionable point to be made. 50.24.29.29 ( talk) 11:33, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
I have reverted this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_notable_3D_printed_weapons_and_parts&diff=630688818&oldid=630514909
1. It is not an improvement, because it makes it more difficult to understand the data presented
2. When I check the difference I see some references have been moved about
3. Its a major change and it was not discussed on talk page prior to change-- Gomu gomu no pistol ( talk) 15:58, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Is the intersection between 3D printing and weapons really significant/notable?
(i mostly agree but there is some electrical and computer engineering behind 3dprinting as well

Thus it is (imho) quite unremarkable that 3D printing has been used in the development or production of some weapons. I believe it's no more remarkable than "List of car parts made of carbon composite" or "List of brides who wore blue shoes at their second weddings".

Removing the "Printer" column will help clear up a somewhat confusing aspect of this table. Many of the entries were either something like "Many common 3D printers", or a random printer mentioned in the first news article about the file. This could create confusion, as almost all of these files can be created by any FFF printer with sufficient bed size, not just that specific printer. I think the process column is the best way to clarify which of these files are designed to be printed in metal on more expensive printers. Gabbygs ( talk) 05:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
I think there is an argument to be made that metal 3D printed suppressors should be removed from this article. There is a rapidly expanding list of companies and products that use metal 3D printing to create their muzzle devices, most commonly suppressors. It would be nearly impossible to list them all, and I think it goes against the spirit fof this article. This topic appears to be a list of parts and designs that are intended to be produced by commercial printers that are primarily limited to plastic FDM or resin printing, not expensive metal laser sintering machines.I would propose the removal of all muzzle devices intended to be printed out of metal and sold commercially, as they don't really seem to fit the theme of this article.
