What it will do is hurt innovation in the state and risk a slew of new consumer harms, ranging from surveillance to platform lock-in. California must stand with creators and reject this legislation before it’s too late. 3D printing might evoke images of props from blockbuster films, rapid prototyping, medical research, or even…
