A NEW WAVE OF CRIME SOLVING TECHNOLOGY

Remember that time we all thought 3D printed guns were going to unleash a new wave of terror and unchecked violence across the nation?
Soon after that, Canada’s public safety department commissioned a study on ways to prevent the spread of 3D printed guns, while the U.S. Congress banned them outright.
But now, it seems, the RCMP is looking at 3D printing technology with fresh eyes. Last week, the B.C. RCMP issued a government tender for its very own 3D printer, with the aim of building models of vehicle accidents for use in court. It may buy an additional four printers in the next two years.
