This first bill allows the state of California to regulate and oversee all 3D prints in the name of public safety.

Doesn't matter. Has nothing to do with online.

You can run OpenCV on an RPi, it's just super slow, and you could probably use a cheap GPU chip to do it faster. You store the pretrained model on the device.

You may even get away with an asic designed for the model, though with that one I'm talking out my ass.

That would makes printers more expensive and my guess is that they'll prefer to force online connectivity
