I have been thinking of getting canning equipment for my homebrew set up to make it easier to share beer ( no worries about collecting my swing top bottles down the line). The only question I could find relating to carbonation methods for canned beer was this question, Beer Bottle vs. Can Head Space, Carbonation, and Conditioning. I would prefer to "can condition" for convenience, though I do have a keg setup to force carbonate prior to canning. My question is, are there any dangers to naturally carbonating in a can?

Well I am not so sure. They could explode if you aren’t careful. Sometimes just dropping a commercially canned beer or soda causes a rocket, so at least the cans that the commercial world use are about as lightweight as one can go under very controlled circumstances. I am not sure you have the ability to maintain that tight level of control in the home setup.

The risks are about the same as with any bottle or other container: over carbonation.
The key is measuring the amount of sugar accurately to not over carbonate and risk explosion. You have to make sure the beer as fermented completely as well, before conditionning, to avoid excess CO2.
Head space is also crucial, since cans do not have the same shape as bottles, you have to calculate it accordingly. Not enough head space can lead to over carbonation and too much space will lead your beer under carbonated.
