    Those instructions can be translated into the final product. It isn’t hard when you know what each instruction produces…

      It’s pretty hard when you have to also account for extra printing to conceal the item. You can render a result, but if it just looks like a box with convenient breakaway pieces that snap to leave behind just the part, you’ll need some more complex work than simple pattern matching. And even then each piece of a gun isn’t a really a unique shape only used for firearms.

        Assuming there is extra printing. That wastes resources and your iterative designs are also captured in sequence, which reveals the direction of your efforts.

      Right, but it’s not something the printer does at all right now, I assume. Someone gives me Russian text to retype, I retype the letters, but I don’t speak Russian so I can’t be meaningfully asked to specifically not retype anything about highway design.

        True but if you’re an organization tasked with spying of what ppl to make sure they aren’t innovating, or whatever, it isn’t hard to setup, it being in gcode isn’t a big hurdle here.
