3D printing is at a really neat early platform stage right now. Cool scene, lots of innovation.
I can see chip level “3d printing” or rather custom local chip fabrication as a waypoint toward the natural conclusion of all this:
molecule-level synthesis Neil Stephenson wrote about in Diamond Age.
- trynumber9 6y agoI suspect because none of that has much to do with how Intel operates. They do not even make the machines they use in these processes. So it would be one hell of a pivot. Companies like Nikon and ASML, who make lithography machines and so on, are not really interesting in the garage fab space but that has nothing to do with Intel.
- bredren 6y agoIntel’s announcement already represents a major pivot. But regardless, most threads on HN allow for tangents to explore ideas. Even if the root fork from the topic appears unfounded.
