Several high-profile crimes in recent years have involved this kind of homemade, or partially homemade, weapon.

Often called “ghost guns” because they can be hard to trace, these firearms can be either partially or completely made with components that have been produced in metal or plastic on commercially available 3D printers.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering the legality of current federal restrictions on these firearms.

In the U.S. , selling 3D-printed firearms requires a federal license.

But producing or owning homemade firearms for personal use is allowed.

The states can also regulate firearms, and many are trying to get control of the weapons.

Criminals have used 3D printers to produce “ Glock switches” or auto-sears, which convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns.
