Indeed, when I heard about the gigapress, I was like that is pretty neat, but when I read it was just casting, and not forging, I was like oh, it's not the *best* solution.

- convolvatron 3y agoI assumed that the gigapress was a large stamping die. neither casting (melt the metal and pour it into a mold) or forging (shaping softened hot metal), but deforming cold metal in one or more steps using alot of pressure and a very hard mold.
- jgalt212 3y agoYes, but that's the way it is with Musk. Nothing is actually what it claims to be.
- panick21_ 3y agoThey literally call them castings and have done so since the first time Tesla talked about them. And its still a 'press' its just a casting press not a stamping press. Is complaining about literally everything Musk related now just the default even when it doesn't make even the slightest amount of sense?
