I can’t remember if I posted this or not but it’s a new tech that would be awesome to utilize to make body parts NLA.

A friend sent me that video a while ago. Pretty impressive -- it's a brave new world! Wonder how long before they have a home version .

Pretty cool. I can relate a bit since I worked in a stamping plant in MI many, many years ago (Ford). Massive presses, massive dies, massive press lines, etc. but boy could they turn out stamped parts in massive quantities and quickly. Pretty good for the Pintos, Mavericks (the original old ones!), Mustangs, Cougars, F-100's, etc. of the day.

That's impressive. Between that and 3D printing advancements...who knows what's next?

Replicator for a brand new 944 turbo and 968 would be nice.

Where do I sign up?

Between this and 3D metal printing it's a whole new world, but I still love to watch old world metal work masters forming, fabricating, and machining parts.
