The end of life, as we know it?

\\\


Euro R&D has for ??? coupla years produced a semi-final product then offere the piece to the public as a collectors buy.
\

if the product has legs, a few more.

3D CNC CAD run together.

I read abt this 50 years ago....my father gave me an LCD nightlight with a speech abt THIS IS THE FUTURE

where's the beef ?

Google, one of my arch enemies as I do what they want to do as a means of controlling the Planet for THEIR AGENDA ..seems to announce on Goo News a new handheld computer bristling with sensors supplying readout number crunching software for only $299

When you stop whining, the $299 wonder plugs into a larger battery.

'Apps' are past and currently available that supply something of that but we expect Goo to crush heads here and blow the 'apps' off.

we'll need to wait for an AJ review\

this could be relevant the news story disappeared

3-D printing, with a _quality_ printer, is a viable way to make plastic
items in small quantities.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it can be used for aluminum

I know it is not viable for mass production.

I posted a reference to a company making thrusters for communication
satellites and they appear to make something like 200 a year. Not,
perhaps mass production in terms of automobiles, but "mass" in
relation to the number of com satellites may be a much smaller number
:-)

By the way, Forbes says that "In 2014, a PWC survey found that 11% of
manufacturing companies had already switched to volume production of
3D printed parts or products".

3D printing by it's very nature gives very poor quality control. Ever wonder why nothing works anymore except bicycles manufactured in the old fashioned way?
