Just gonna link.
Fascinating if you're into AI, manufacturing, trade, future...
I just thought, they're probably concentrating on all-electric vehicles. Much easier assembly with fewer components. I own an electric car and the simplicity of design amazes me.
3d manufacture with certain laser sintered alloy powders can be quite strong. Can a company afford to use those materials to produce a commodity product such as an automobile? Must ask the opinion of a Boeing or Lockheed engineer whether it could be economically viable outside of aerospace applications.
There is a fairly recent development in the extraction of titanium which will drastically lower the cost of raw material. Forming the metal to a finished form has been a challenge.
Powdered material can be incrementally layered by a laser deposition process to form objects. Components manufactured by such a process often shed a tenth or more in weight relative to standard machining processes.
The revised V6 Chrysler began using in 2018 JL Series Jeep have had such problems... Mexico.
Thanks
Just Ten years ago this was all siliness...
Ever read The Weapons Shops of Isher?
Since nowadays they are printing parts for jet and rocket engines, I am pretty sure the answer is "yes".
Yes. Several times. I have it in hardcover.
Yes. Even rocket engines!
Nice!
Amazing to see it sort of coming true.
I don’t want to be Chris McAllister, but starting the Big Bang would be kewl...
If, at some point, you’d bought 1000.00 of Microsoft or Apple you’d have pretty much been set. I can’t help but feel that this will happen with this printing stuff...but who do you buy, or is it all too spread out across the industry?
And, when the future Great Sino-America War starts, the car’s AI will immediately cause any American’s car to plow into the nearest bridge abutment.
When you find out, let us know, please?

Pick 10 and put 100.00 bucks in each?
There are a few different strategies.
Some of the big guys doing research and application are: HP, GE, BMW, Siemen’s even J&J.
Smaller companies you can go for the equipment or actual processing/manufacturing: Stratsys, DDD or 3D systems, Organovo (for medical tissue stuff), there are several others but those 3 I feel are at the top of the chain for smaller companies. Oh Protolabs also.
Just amazing!

Someday we'll order the latest design for a robot servant and 3d print it at home.
This is funny:

Thank you. I think taking a few grand or whatever you can handle and spreading it around would be the way to go.
:-)
Pretty much what Ive done. Note: After an early run-up on some of the smaller guys they dropped down in the last 3-4 years. I have taken it as an opportunity to drop in on those who managed to survive some of the very early action. Only a little here and there mind you. More of a dividend type myself, but gotta spread the butter across the toast a bit.... if you will..
