Our goal is to design weapon systems that you can 3D print with low cost and accessible equipment. The designs are always free and available for anyone to use. Decentralized manufacturing for a hitherto centralized industry.
Design development is supported when you purchase build kits from us. Kits are a convenience, never a requirement. To maintain the decentralized model, parts can always be sourced elsewhere.
Providing information that enables you to understand how the process of manufacturing your own weapon is important. We include detailed documentation along with released designs. In addition to this, information is being compiled online for you to learn from.
If you have any questions, we would be glad to answer them.
Below you will find images of some of our projects.
