This is a list of notable 3D printed weapons and parts. The table below lists noteworthy 3D printed weapons (mainly 3D printed firearms) and parts of weapons as well as items with a defense-related background. It includes 3D printed weapons and parts created using plastic producing printers as well as metal producing printers.

The Liberator .380 was the first 3D printed plastic gun made widely available online. It was a single shot pistol made using a Stratasys Dimension SST 3-D printer.[1][2]

The Solid Concepts replica of the M1911 pistol was the first 3D printed metal gun,[3] created using more than 38 printed parts;[4] It has successfully fired more than 5000 rounds without damaging the gun.[5]

PETG
Polyethylene terephthalate (glycol-modified), a plastic made by changing the chemicals used to synthesize the more common PET. Easier to print than ABS, and moderately better heat resistance than PLA.
Often used in consumer-level printers when creators desire better heat resistance than PLA+ or need more flexibility.
ECM
Electrochemical machining, a process that uses electricity to chemically machine metal. Commonly used in 3D printed firearms to create DIY barrels with rifling, greatly increasing accuracy.
