新华网10月8日电 据英国《太阳报》报道，英国国家打击犯罪局（NCA）正采取措施严控3D打印技术，以防被不法分子利用制造枪支弹药。
世界上第一支由3D打印制造的手枪今年5月在美国问世，并成功试射。英国内政部表示英国国内的一些犯罪集团正在尝试使用3D打印技术制造武器。3D打印机目前的售价在1000英镑左右，可在普通商场购买，并且能够下载到详细的武器设计图纸。
据报道，英国国家打击犯罪局7日宣布，将限制3D打印技术作为其首要工作目标。该部门工作报告指出，“英国需要开展针对3D打印技术的反制措施，以防被不法分子利用制造武器。”
英国内政大臣特里萨·梅拒绝透露具体的反制措施，但她表示不会全面禁止3D打印技术。她说，“3D打印技术已经引发了越来越多的担忧。”
英国警方7日端掉一个由8人组成的犯罪团伙，这是由英国国家打击犯罪局牵头的首个重要行动。

COPS are clamping down on 3D printers over fears gangs are using them to make GUNS.
The world s first 3D-printed pistol was created and fired in the US in May this year.
Now Home Office terror boss Charles Farr has claimed UK criminals are trying to do the same thing.
The printers, available for 1,000 on the high street, squirt out molten plastic to create detailed designs.
Tackling printable weapons is a key aim of the National Crime Agency — dubbed the British FBI — which was launched yesterday.
The NCA s strategy document warns: “We need to develop counter-measures for the imminent risk that 3D printing will facilitate the manufacture of weapons.”
Home Secretary Theresa May refused to give details of these measures — but denied there would be an outright ban on 3D printers. She said: “This is a matter that has become of increasing concern.”
Eight people were arrested yesterday under a crackdown on identity fraudsters, the first major operation led by the NCA.
