Police raided a home in Eindhoven and seized 3D-printed weapons, including six 3D-printed boxing braces and five firearms made from 3D-printer plastic. Officers also found two 3D printers inside the property. A police spokesperson said the raid happened because of an investigation, but would not say why the home was targeted. Police said the weapons appear to be produced in a home setup that looks like a workshop for making this type of firearm. They said such finds are rare. Authorities previously expected 3D-printed weapons to spread quickly in the criminal world, but police say that has not happened. They linked the lack of rapid growth to enforcement efforts, including in other European countries. Police noted that guns made with 3D printers can fire both printer-made projectiles and regular ammunition. They also warned that the weapons can be dangerous even to users, with parts potentially malfunctioning, melting, or breaking apart. The spokesperson pointed to earlier cases, including a 2022 search in Zeeland where investigators found a 3D-printed semi-automatic firearm, gun components, and a 3D printer. Police and prosecutors said they were concerned about these weapons because they can be hard to recognize and can resemble toys. Since July this year, the Dutch Weapons and Ammunition Act has been adjusted. It now bans producing, possessing, or selling 3D weapons and also outlaws having a digital file used to make such weapons with a 3D printer.
