We Released all of our 3D Gun Scan Data
Skills Gap Trainer comment:
Fantastic work and great analogy with plane references. As a computer scientist and future 3D printing enthusiast and hobbyist, I find your open-source initiative extremely valuable and inspiring. This will advance the quality of firearms ownership experience and civil defence & public safety infrastructure development through evolution and growth of 3D printing entrepreneurs.
Thinking beyond just the U.S., there might be a day when semi-automatic rifles are more stringently regulated and people could turn to bolt-action rifles instead – Canada :(. This is where your initiative could make a significant difference. If you could provide open-source designs for accessories, aesthetic enhancements and increase frame options, it would be incredibly helpful. Specifically, precision rifles and bolt actions used are often with inexpensive frame materials or plastic, and the option of nicer material tactical chassis in the .308 range sounds like a quality upgrade.
I believe releasing open-source designs for premium chassis that could upgrade inexpensive synthetic stock rifles to sports shooting PRS style rifles would be a game-changer. Imagine if it could be done with light materials, to change the balance and weight of rifles. Chassis designs similar to MDT ESS CHASSIS SYSTEM or MDT TAC21 GEN2 CHASSIS come to mind. Additionally, if you ever plan to expand into pistol enhancements, systems like the P320 FCU Rampage Alpha would be interesting to see in an open-source format.
Of course, it’s important to remember that we’re not talking bout the firearm part here or the action, but are focused instead on improving aesthetics and personalization and experience with pre-existing firearm. Lastly, shooting videos with these upgraded systems would be a fantastic addition to your content. It would provide practical examples of how your designs and engineering mindset enhanced the overall shooting experience. It’s great to see a firearms shop approach technology community, instead of being told that firearms culture are not a technology culture and being kept apart. Looking forward to seeing where you take this initiative!
