Cool - you mean like the CNC I have sitting next to the printers? Which this legislation doesn't cover?

So no - not buying it. Hell, there's not even a real price difference. I can get a Nomad3 from Carbide 3D for the same approximate cost as an H2D from bambu labs.

And I can get super cheap temu versions of either for under 500.

Other states like Colorado have similar bills that define a "3d printer" as a computer aided machine that uses additive or subtractive manufacturing processes so CNC machines likely aren't safe either.

i mean speed and consistency, compared to manually CnC [crank n curse] cutting, or printing.

if you set up your job so that you print a block of, lets say 4 lower receivers for a stoner style firearm. and you ran a number of printers, you start an arsenal, for a fire team, not just a lonewolf, and that scares people.
