FORENSICS JOURNAL distinctive evidence collection procedures. As 3D printers become available to consumers, the prices will drop to a reasonable range. When this happens, 3D cyber-crime will increase and forensic specialists will be in high demand. Formal coursework and training specifically designed to counter 3D printing technology crimes is the solution. “The Journey of a Lifetime.” 3DSystems. 3D Systems, n.d.

With all the possibilities and wonders of 3D technology, forensic examiners must be prepared with data recovery tools, methods, techniques and tactics. This type of print technology is a challenge for forensics as it pushes the boundaries of technology, tests the rules of evidence, reimagines intellectual property laws, and has the capability to threaten society. The optimal approach for forensic professionals is to learn everything about this emergent print technology in order to counter the threat of malicious activity, recognize it when it occurs, and provide irrefutable evidence in court.
