Example 3D printed 1911 for ya?ll
Over 25 hours of 3D print time, programming & finish.
Not mine, just sharing. This is one piece solid, not functional in any way.

Shouldn't that be a Glock? Don0 -
That's impressive! 0 -
I'm ashamed I didn't catch that,, 0 -
This is what you do at work when things are slow? :shock: 0 -
25 hours a programming and it's not even right? I wonder why whoever made it didn't just go out and spend $12.70 to get one that is cocked and locked
But on a serious note, it is nice even though it's not cocked but locked

Maybe it has the Safety Fast Shooting System so the hammer is down with the safety levers up. 0 -

I imagine 25 hours to "print" would be almost difficult to visibly see the progress without all but going blind from staring at it. There must have also been a true model artist to finish it like that. Perfect for displays, nobody could tell the difference in most cases. 8-)

It wasn't 25 hours to print it. It was 25 hours total including time it took to program the printer, printing it and then painting it. I'll bet you the actual print time would probably one to a couple hours depending on the quality of the printer.
Local guy here 3D prints his own AR-15 lowers out up block that He makes himself out of beer cans, yeah I know, I question the quality of aluminum blocks that he starts with too.... But he says it takes about 2 hours after he had programmed his printer to print one. I don't know how long it took him to program his printer though
So I would imagine the actual print time was fast enough that you could watch it.0 -

I know absolutely nothing about 3D printing. Nor did I claim I do.0 -
The way 3D printing works is you just need a model of what you're going to print, and then you can quite literally click "print" and it does. There are a couple extra steps involved but they really aren't more complex than your basic inkjet or laser printer (laser printing is probably the better analogy anyway).
The real time is in the detailed modelling of what you want to print. Some folks have 3D scanners that will create a 3d model based on actual geometry.
3d printed part models of a 1911 have been available on the web for about 10 years or so.0
