Fear not Bruce. The resulting designs are thrashed to show weaknesses and failure so it can be fed back into the program and around and around refining the result.

If it is going into a consumer good like a car there is no way a sub-par result would be let out. They'd also take the result and run it thru their standard stress analysis programs.

If I have an accident they straighten and weld my frame, how do they repair that spaghetti in picture 2? It's something that's going to be buried in a unibody type construction so I doubt it can even be accessed.

My fear is this leads to more disposable goods that can't be repaired. Sure, make it out of more recyclable material for the good of the environment. But disposable shit isn't good for the consumer's wallet.

The tea kettle dies and is unrepairable, buy a new one. The TV dies and costs more than a new one to fix, buy a new one. The couch costs more to reupholster than a new one. Buy a new one. It keeps creeping up the scale.

Somebody said, just 3D print a replacement part... Can 3D printers print parts in high-carbon steel??

I'm sure they can, you'd just need something like a wire feed welder instead of an inkjet and viola! Or voila, if you're french.

I think Bruce posted a video of a guy who built a 3-d cement jet printer and went of to print a castle.

And Bruce, the reason for the spaghetti shaped frame is that you'd never really know if they repaired it or not. They could do anything, really, and most of us would say, "Looks legit."

@ Snake, I have a shit ton of washers, does that mean I can get busy with a special group captive lady monkey? I mean for science's sake.

They programmed future deception into the computer?

I read they are printing with aluminum. The aluminum is melted in a furnace then flows into a nozzle where it's superheated by induction until there is enough pressure to blow out one drop. I'd be concerned how homogeneous the finished piece is. Have to assume someone is looking at that, because I didn't pay all those taxes to school those little fuckers for nothing.

They hope to be printing with steel soon, but I'll bet it's not high carbon or high strength steel.

I'll stick with Viking crucible steel, carbon-boosted with the bones of my ancestors.

Viking Sword, "Ulfberht" or +VLFBERHT+

What kind of conspiracy theorist are you? Give back your tinfoil hat until you adjust your attitude, young man.

They print titanium and don't forget as a publicity stunt they printed a complete 1911 45 out of steel and then demonstrated the result by putting ten thousand rounds thru it.

So now imagine we've got one of those Boston Dynamics wolf-things patrolling the streets, keeping the criminals at bay... except they learned how to do their job from watching real cops.

And the robots end up racist.

There are great big holes in inner tubes, and they float.

I feel ya, though.
