New York State Bill Proposes Mandatory Gun Detection Technology for 3D Printers

A bill in New York State (S.9005 / A.10005), included in the 2026-2027 executive budget, proposes mandating blocking technology on all 3D printers sold or delivered in the state. This measure requires printers to integrate software or firmware that analyzes each print file through a "firearms blueprint detection algorithm," preventing the printing of objects identified as firearms or components. No specific implementation date is mentioned. The text targets manufacturers, educators, and small businesses using this equipment.
