URUTAU
The Urutau is a 3D-printed firearm developed with a focus on simplicity, functionality, and accessibility. Originating from Brazil, the Urutau is a hybrid semi-automatic or fully automatic design, crafted primarily from 3D-printed components and incorporating common hardware parts to enhance reliability and ease of construction. This firearm is seen as a further example of how 3D printing technology can be used to produce effective, DIY firearms outside of traditional manufacturing contexts.
- 3D-Printed Build: Like other firearms in this category, the Urutau is designed primarily with 3D-printed components, using accessible materials like PLA+ or PETG. This enables builders with a standard consumer-grade 3D printer to produce the firearm, keeping costs and material needs low.
- Hybrid Design: The Urutau can function as a semi-automatic or fully automatic straight blow back, making it unique among 3D-printed firearms. This design flexibility allows users to customize their build based on intended use, personal skill, and available resources.
- Readily Available Components: The Urutau incorporates metal parts such as springs, screws, and a metal barrel liner, which are widely available at hardware stores and do not require specialised or regulated components.
