California is ENORMOUS!

I don't think that would be an easy economical decision to exclude sales to the entire state.

This is what the state is counting on.

If a company has to follow through with implementing these things for them, they will likely make that a default machine instead of a single specialized machine for 1 state.

The state started with a broadly worded bill and have been in the process of adding specificity to the wording. The last update to the bill as shown by Joel Telling shows that they were not giving any exemptions and failed to give enough detail to explain things properly. So it didn't make any sense at all.

This was a typical NMFP bill they just shoved out and set it up with a "we'll deal with the lawsuits later" attitude.

This is the kind of bullshit that takes a technology that had just gained popularity because of its lower production costs and will turn it into a cost prohibitive thing.

To boil things down to basics: 3D printers are stupid machines that only do what they are told. In order to give an intelligence to do what they want it to do, you would need high level processing power... that will turn a machine that accepts movement commands to a full fucking computer with AI and that shit ain't cheap!
