There is enormous space of unexplored manufacturing processes and product designs, simply because they lay outside of conventional design canon and standardized engineering practices.
- chiffre01 1y agoI notice this as well, so much manufacturing is based around injection molding or other plastic related materials. It's refreshing to see new techniques/ technologies used with things like metal and glass.

- varjag 1y agoThey are better and cheaper before zillions of man hours were invested into polishing the warts.
- abdullahkhalids 1y agoA lot of useful manufacturing techniques are simply not public because it is very expensive to discover them, and obviously most entities don't want to share their techniques with other. If anything, non-standard not-well-known techniques have only been popularized recently because software is used so much in hardware design these days that some hardware designers have imbued the ethos of FOSS. Without that I doubt people will share niche techniques like this which have the potential to make lots of money.
