  1. Yes, the way the system works most execs purchase their positions while employees don't have the fortunes needed for the equipment they use

  2. They should totally do that for their promo videos......

  3.  @mgancarzjr  we wear things we don't mind getting metal dust and coolant on. There is a blacksmith vibe rather than the scientist

  4. A moment of silence for the millions of drills we sacrificed milling that stuff......

  5. This is technically a startup. They fooled you otherwise because they actually know what they're doing

  6. Obligatory flaimbait retort

  7. A big export is "industrial equipment." There are far profit margins in building the machines that build machines

  8. How is this better than existing CNC milling machines? That's the par in order for this to become widespread.

  9. I imagine this only works on ductile materials. Certainly alloys will be impossible.

  10. Because it would bend in places you don't want. It would sag in, like a trampoline with a person on it

  11. That line was written by a Hollywood goon early in the days of automation.

  12. More like pottery

  13. @AndroidA258  except additive manufacturing is a completely different method

  14. In parts manufacturing, the fattest profit margins are in semi-custom builds (airplane/rocket parts, industrial tools, heavy equipment/engines). What these guys are really competing with are CNC milling which takes a bricks of metal and cuts away most material to leave the desired part.

  15. It's common to see random flags in America. It's a leftover from the 1960s when some hooligans burned flags, so everyone else placed them around town.

  16.  @particle_wave7614  the CEO is the largest shareholder, normally. It is legal and normal for men to buy a controlling interest in the company and appoint themselves CEO

  17.  @HarryMollyNut  I'll wager you can spot a politician from his dress and tone.

  18. ​ @kylewhite5695 I imagine more exotic shapes are possible with milling

  19. It would take that long just to build a marketable machine and just as long to find buyers. Most manufacturers don't replace things until they're not worth fixing and these machines last ages
