Think fins, fin plugs, almost anything and its only $99 and runs off your smart phone.
“can make objects up to 3x5x2 inches”
Flippin crazy. Interesting. Cool. Not sure that the materials they are using could stand up to real-world stress, but 3-D printing is barely out of its infancy and starting to toddle. Watch out for the stuff that’s coming down the pipeline. The injection-molding industry is definitely going to feel the impact of devices like this. The blond girl’s eyes are freakishly blue, which weirds me out. Actually the whole thing kinda weirds me out.
Amazing as it sounds according to the hype , 1 small item per hour will not cut it in the real world of manufacturing …probably viable for a one-of replacement part , depending on the quality and durability of the end product.
It’s also just another creativity killer , because 99.99% of it’s use will depend on copying the designs and products of someone else…the world is becoming too sterile and stagnant with this kind of crap.
I’m personally not a big fan of the whole thing, but it’s hard not to recognize some of the merit and the potential uses that 3-D printing will have as time goes on. My first time handling a 3-D printed part was about 15 years ago. They’ve progressed light years beyond where they were then. Initially, the parts were literally about as strong as egg-shell. Now, you can print with carbon fiber or sintered metal powder - actual usable parts (after a little cleanup from the printing process). A couple years ago they literally printed a car at a trade show, cleaned it up, did some machining and assembly and drove it out of the show.
April fools
LOL, That’s pretty inventive for a joke.
