INTRODUCTION

New technology, such as additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing, can be revolutionary and therefore attracts attention from the manufacturing industry, such as aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics, as well as from the medical field.

■AM SYSTEM MANUFACTURES IN JAPAN

  • A machine tool company developed a hybrid metal AM

system with laser sintering and milling in 2003.

  • Recently the major machine tool company developed

a new type hybrid AM system successively. (a) Plastic-type AM system (b) Hybrid -type AM systems

NATIONAL PROJECT (TRAFAM)

  • As for industrial 3D printers in Japan, “Technology

Research Association for Future Additive Manufacturing” or “TRAFAM” was established by the industry and academia in order to promote a large scale research development project.

  • This association strives to develop next-generation

industrial 3D printers.

  • It also considers export control,

prevention of illegal activities and user safety measures.

ILLEGAL PRODUCTION OF FIREARMS WITH 3D PRINTER IN JAPAN

  • possession of 3D printed guns
  • posted videos and blueprints of his 3D-printed

weapons online

  • Police reportedly seized plastic weapons from his

home.

A man arrested for manufacturing 3D printed Guns

sentenced to two years in jail.
