Curtin University researchers develop method to trace 3D-printed ghost guns to their filament source
Forensic technique uses thermal analysis to match printed PLA parts to filament products, potentially helping police build a clearer manufacturing and distribution network for untraceable firearms
Researchers from Curtin University in Perth have developed a forensic method that can match 3D-printed PLA parts to their original filament product, correctly identifying 26 out of 28 samples in a study published in Forensic Science International, offering a potential new tool to trace 3D-printed ghost guns.
