I doubt that the target equipment is these 3D printers, which do not produce very strong “printouts.” Driving CAD/CAM equipment seems to be the goal.

Print a wax lower and pour yourself a brass copy using the lost-wax method. Could probably use aluminum as the casting material but I've always wanted a nice, heavy, brass AR-15.

Machined or cast. Metal or plastic. They can't stop this stuff, it's already out there. I don't know why they even waste their time trying to put it back in the box.

Lost wax would get you a rough casting, but would still need to be machined to perfection.
