New York Cnc Law

The law that I saw doesn’t specify how it gets done yet, the committee the law requires getting formed is supposed to work on that. The most likely way to implement something like this is through a slicer for a printer, or CAM software. Both of those look at the model and can flag something that looks like a restricted part. Since most programs are subscription based, you’ll have no choice but to install an update that the software developers will be required to have to be able to sell in NY. That will be an incentive to learn to hand program G code.
 
Can you provide a link or other source for that with respect to the New York law?

I could, but it's not worth it. Details are not worth fussing over, as this is a dynamic situation. They are (Obviously) foreseeing a lot of issues with implementing this, and adapting to work arounds for many issues, Constitutional issues in particular. That's where it was at the last time I looked.


Not trying to argue just trying to follow the facts.

Me too... It's evolving yet. If you looked more recently than me, then I'm not even looking as you're probably right. And if you look it up tomorrow, it might be "tweaked" again, as they are well aware that it's going to be difficult to get this through, as it does delve into federal and constitutional law. They ARE actively dancing around a lot of legal hurdles. and what you just said said sounds like the most realistic "update", as that would keep your stuff on your device, which probably eliminates a lot of legal hurdles. As well as their general tendancy to skate around the real question of what's up with any individual who might think that misusing a weapon is a good idea....

I still say that this would require the machine be connected to the internet, but doing it how you just said does not specifically specifiy that the machine must be connected, even though practicality would demand that, plus it keeps the state's required algorythm and your data out of the state's hands. (Theoretically anyhow). Probably hold up better when it hits the supreme court. Which I'm sure they already know that it will....
 
I think it's utterly impractical to implement. There are open-source CAM and Slicers, and you can't put it in the CAD, unless you're going to make it illegal to draw a firearm. Imagine the mountains of false-positives that would be generated, and having to sift through all of those...

Please remember the no politics rule in this discussion.

The law in question deals with firearms manufacturing so probably a legitimate discussion area on our forum. But it's definitely a hot button issue for some.

This is a very good point. There is nothing to be gained by a political discussion and it will ruin the site. One of the main reasons I'm on this forum is because I'm really just bored with all that pointless nonsense and want to learn about something useful.
 
NY can kiss all manufacturing goodbye.
Just look at Remington . That plant alone supported an entire area . GONE !

This is a pretty strange law as I see it . Back when I was doing Gub work at the end of each day , I had to download my CNC programs , store them in safes , unload the machines of all associated tooling and was performing all machining ops behind curtains . Pretty strange to pic up a Popular Mechanics mag and see what I was producing . Top Secret ? To who ? :grin:
