The U.S. government imposed an open ban on the use of 3D printer guns as a possible abuse of terrorist criminal means, but there is a potential threat to terrorism as thousands of guns were illegally distributed before the shutdown. It is highly likely that plastic guns can be manufactured using design drawings of online distribution, and that it will be difficult to detect metal detectors at airports and ports when brought into South Korea. The 3D printer production gun can be manufactured by anyone without specialized skills as long as the 3D printer and design drawings are available, and there is no serial number of guns, so it is highly likely to be abused, such as the murder of a factor, as it is difficult to trace Even in the event of a live-fire, it was possible to kill people, including power and accuracy, and because it is difficult to detect, there is an inherent possibility of terrorist abuse such as illegal entry. Therefore, in order to prepare for threats such as terrorism that exploited 3D printer production guns, preventive activities such as the training of X-ray reading should be strengthened. In addition, it is necessary to raise awareness about the targets of the prototype manufacturing and handling companies using 3D printers, such as the establishment of a system to ban the production of firearms and report production clients. In cooperation with relevant agencies, such as the Korea Communications Commission, the government should strengthen monitoring, including the status of illegal downloading, on-line 3D design drawings, on-line, and take preemptive measures when
