Article Synopsis
- Two gun barrels were 3D-printed from the same digital model and successfully test-fired, producing notable striations on the bullets.
- The striations on bullets from each barrel were identifiable and could be differentiated under a microscope, suggesting unique characteristics linked to the 3D printing process.
- The findings highlight the need for the forensic science community to develop a knowledge base regarding toolmark features from 3D-printed firearms, as this technology gains traction in manufacturing.
