What’s your take on privacy for 3D-printed biometric devices?

[killamch89]

As 3D printing becomes more accessible, the prospect of producing biometric devices using fingerprint molds, face masks, even iris replicas raises alarms about security and privacy. How do you view the risks and benefits? Could decentralized manufacturing democratize access to assistive medical devices, or does it open doors for identity fraud and surveillance? Should legislation restrict 3D printing of biometric templates, or are community-driven standards sufficient?
