Abstract：
The release of the plans of the 3D-printed Liberator firearm sparked a wave of new designs from creators worldwide, resulting in an extensive collection of 3D-printed firearm plans, in particular blueprints, and parts available for almost unrestricted download on the internet. Identifying and categorizing the diverse range of 3D-printed firearms and components pose a challenge due to the abundance of designs available. Between 2021 and April 2023, data was collected on over 2,100 3D-printed firearm plans. While blueprints of fully 3D-printed firearms initially dominated the scene, hybrid designs and parts kit completions / conversions (PKC) have gained popularity for their improved reliability and performance. The now highly networked community offers considerable support with detailed instructions and procedures, providing precise guidance for construction. This systematic classification, grouping and structuration of the recorded data on the Clear Web supported the identification of patterns of the main threat trends related to 3D-printed firearms.
摘要：
3D打印的Liberator枪支计划的发布引发了全球创作者的新设计浪潮。产生了大量的3D打印枪支计划，特别是蓝图，和部分可在互联网上几乎不受限制地下载。由于可用的设计丰富，识别和分类各种3D打印枪支和组件构成了挑战。在2021年至2023年4月之间，收集了超过2100个3D打印枪支计划的数据。虽然完全3D打印的枪支蓝图最初占据了主导地位，混合设计和零件套件完成/转换（PKC）因其提高的可靠性和性能而受到欢迎。现在高度网络化的社区通过详细的说明和程序提供了相当大的支持，为施工提供精确指导。这种系统的分类，ClearWeb上记录数据的分组和结构化支持识别与3D打印枪支相关的主要威胁趋势的模式。
