   SpaceX's technology is not building a >$10B launch backlog and pulling in over $1B in funding. The SpaceX brand and culture are bringing in the right people to build the technology and the right customers to buy it: this path towa

   Wherever it comes from, the power is used to melt metal, so the power puts an upper limit on how fast material can be printed. I don't know what percentage of the plasma energy in RPD is transferred to the metal, but fiber or CO2 laser

   It's great to see 3D printing winning on cost, because this is normally a great reason to adopt a new technology. Norsk's RPD process looks to be built for high speed and low cost (plasma torch, argon gas, titanium wire). I think

   The FDA requires information panel labeling for most food: I think it's reasonable to want to know roughly what we're eating. I would not be surprised to see similar printed labeling requirements for IoT devices, in bite sized chu

   This algorithm appears to minimize infill time while still supporting the shell during printing. That's useful for prototyping form or fit, but I feel like 3DP for prototyping has been beaten to death already. I would much rather have
