At Legal Theory Blog, Larry Solum has interesting comments on this paper: Jasper L. Tran (George Mason University), The Press Clause and 3D Printing: A Constitutional Manufacturing Right (14 Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property (2015), forthcoming).
The question is whether 3D printers are covered by the First Amendment's freedom of the press; Professor Tran does not approach the question principally from an originalist perspective, but he mentions the original meaning in passing. Professor Solum then takes on the originalist question in an extending inquiry that isn't easy to summarize but is well worth reading.
