“Give them a bit of time and perhaps the caseless ammo propellant can be 3D printed.”
Don’t hold your breath, caseless ammo has been a dream for many years. I am sure that fortunes have been spent in military research around the world for the obvious reasons should they succeed. At one time there was a serious effort by Germany to develop the technology. Something must be wrong with it besides expense or else our military would already have it at the very least in some units. It could be the ammo is too fragile to carry in combat or perhaps there are problems with gas leakage. That’s nothing new either — ever see a paper-Sharps or a Hall breach-loading rifle?

Thanks for the update mark. I was wondering how long it would take for the improvement. Turns out, not long at all!

I am very enthusiastic about the 3D process, to the point I may sell one of my gun safe queens to buy an entry level printer, as a machinist and fabrictor who has worked in a fiberglass putrusion and plastic extrusion plant as a die maker I can see ways to change the application. Damn, Unk. Why can't you talk like that all the time? That sounds a lot more like the old Unk to me. I don't know who that new guy is who's posting under your nick.

How long before some lefty demands (and perhaps in some lefty jurisdictions, enacts) 3d Printer Control?
I dont object to such control in the narrow sense of saying dont make [things that are already illegal] with your 3D printer. Im talking, rather, about limits on having 3D printers AT ALL. Its coming.
I'm sure the labor unions would be all for it.why deal with the teamsters, the ILA, the UAW, et al, when anything you wish can be produced at home. I am not forgetting about the 'ink'. this could either produced locally, or someone might invent a device that breaks down a printed object into its component powders.
