You know, there are things that you can make with additive manufacturing, you can't make any other way. So it's really hard to understand where that's going to go and

how it's going to be used.

You're listening to War College, a weekly podcast that brings you the stories from behind the front lines.

Here are your hosts. Hello, welcome to War College. I am your host Matthew Galt. We are living on the

precipice of a manufacturing revolution.

3D printing is more than just a hobby your weird rich friend used to make guns.

It's the dawn of a new process of prototype and creation.

Additive manufacturing, if you believe the hype, will make it easier to make everything, including

weapons of mass destruction. But how real is that threat, and how close are we to making

chemical weapons at home for fun and profit?

Here to help us answer that question is Grant Christopher. Grant is a senior researcher

at Verdict, a London-based think tank that works to strengthen verification of

international agreements.

He was also part of the research team at Cern that discovered the Higgs boson and he's

the co-author of a research paper titled WMD Capabilities

enabled by Additive Manufacturing. Grant, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you, my absolute pleasure.
