He was the operations officer for a tank battalion (15th Tank Battalion of the 6th Armored Division) that was pursuing some Germans across Eastern France. His column entered a village and he hopped off his tank to see where the Germans had gone. He stuck his head around the corner of a building just as a panzerfaust struck it, crushing his lower jaw with a chunk of masonry.
He was evacuated to Scotland, where he spent the next eighteen months undergoing numerous rounds of surgery before the doctors were successful in their endeavors.
For those unfamiliar with this technology.....it is the future; in fact, it’s here now. “Printing” 3D objects has come such a long way in a relatively short time that it is....no pun intended here....simply jaw-dropping.
It’s not much of a stretch to predict that soon automobile parts, aircraft parts (whole wings, etc.), and many consumer goods will soon be “printed” vs. traditional manufacturing techniques. The ramifications are staggering.
Think of what this means, really. What if it didn’t take an army of highly skilled technicians to manufacture a particular aircraft or car part (e.g. a transmission). Think of the “barriers to entry” to higher technology that are suddenly removed. Get the “plans”, the right output devices.....and voila: you, too, can manufacture aircraft or refrigerators or cars or whatever you wish.
I find it very exciting, actually.
interesting, layer by layer....micron by micron?
Have the ChiComs bought this tech, too.
