I hope 3-D printing becomes obsolete when robots can achieve the same efficiency with using the standard construction materials. That should take away all benefits of 3-D printing over regular builds.
- pennomi 11mo ago3D printing isn’t entirely about automation, it’s also a way to get shapes that are impossible to manufacture traditionally. Modern rocket engines almost all use 3D printing because the shapes are so highly optimized.
- shmeeed 11mo agoYou're against additive manufacturing because you want robots to become craftsmen? That's... a pretty wild take, to put it mildly. I'm curious, what are "standard construction materials" and "regular builds" to you? And what do you think those robots are made of?
- ComputerGuru 11mo agoYou don’t need a robot, especially in the colloquial sense meaning humanoid. Better additive manufacturing techniques than desktop FDM printers exist, and CNCs can turn these parts out from much better materials all day.
