My company is a supplier to HP. I have been working with them on these and other incredible 3D Printers.

This is just the third stage of what they have planned.....black plastic, four-color plastic and now metal.

Incredible stuff!

“For example, you can make a part lighter with an interior lattice that’s strong but mostly hollow.”

The best part of all this. 3D printer technology is already being used to make rocket engines. Here’s an article about using the technology to make rocket nozzles with cooling channels built in.

I look forward to seeing them make machine tools that are lighter and just as strong. I have machine tools that I have to use a hoist to move them around my workshop because they weigh so much. Lighter electric shop motors would be a plus. Definite plus for car engines.

But their warped understanding of “social responsibility” will cause it to refuse to print gun parts, using as a [failed] analogy the way current printers detect images of currency and refuse to print it (and probably call the Secret Service while they’re at it).

Webster’s got nothing on today’s libs. They’ve managed to make “social responsibility” mean violating others’ civil rights.
