As humans, we are living in an imagined world. A physical reality that we have created and fashioned from our surroundings, much like hyper complex birds creating nests from twigs. The giant, ingenious machines and factories that help bring these objects into being are shrinking at an ever increasing rate. Soon we will be seeing full purpose desktop factories in every household, and the maker revolution is helping move this along.
Millions of hackers and tinkerers from around the world are learning about hardware and manufacturing, realizing the limitless possibilities that are out there. This in turn has led to a wave of new desktop machines that replace the various functions of traditional manufacturing.

The company is Local Motors, designers of the Strati. The car was printed in about 44 hours on site earlier this month at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. In contrast to the thousands of components in a traditional vehicle, the Strati consists of fewer than 50 parts. Most of its body is built from extruded plastic of the kind that Lego bricks are made of.

Wilson’s latest radically libertarian project is a PC-connected milling machine he calls the Ghost Gunner. Like any computer-numerically-controlled (or CNC) mill, the one-foot-cubed black box uses a drill bit mounted on a head that moves in three dimensions to automatically carve digitally-modeled shapes into polymer, wood or aluminum. But this CNC mill, sold by Wilson’s organization known as Defense Distributed for $1,200, is designed to create one object in particular: the component of an AR-15 rifle known as its lower receiver.
