3D printed titanium parts
alaskun:
I saw that the other day too, but didn't see the videos. This one was... therapeutic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p25T6YlQc
sooo satisfying watching it come together piece by piece. pins, gears, spacers... puzzling
The coily bits make me think of this
I usually don't pay attention to plastic stuff because there's just so much of it. I saw this at the same time though...
Audi building 3D printed titanium/aluminum rover to drive across the moon

--- Quote ---...a functional prototype is already in the works, and was revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show, where its four-wheeled, Wall-E-esque body zipped around on the showroom floor. In order to ensure that the Audi Lunar Quattro is rugged enough to withstand a lunar landing and then continue to face the elements throughout its journey, Audi and the Part Time Scientists have been working with metal 3D printing technology, constructing nearly the entire rover out of 3D printed aluminum and titanium.
3D printing also enabled the scientists to manufacture special hollow structural components to route the wiring—something that would not be possible with CNC milling or other traditional manufacturing techniques. “It's not possible from the axis of freedom," said Robert Böhme, CEO of PT Scientists. "The parts are like one millimeter thick.”..

and there was just this the other day...

--- Quote ---..showcased the first ever 3D printed object from asteroid metal as a sort of proof-of-concept of what might be common in space mining in the future.
The raw material used for the 3D print was taken from an asteroid sourced from the Campo Del Cielo impact crater in Argentina and is made up of iron, nickel, and cobalt. From there, parts of the asteroid were pulverized and powdered..

that video doesn't look too much different from the bike app clips. plus, at ~1:22 ;
"...in this way, the user can create characteristic walking motions that convey personality and style..."
it's going to happen.
+ this one which I thought of when I saw the clock you posted

nothing new, just trying to counter my shitty posts elsewhere
this one must have turned out horrible. mx3d is apparently known for being all about marketing (bridges) instead of follow-through. A lot of people said they didn't expect this bike to actually be finished, and as far as I can find, it hasn't.

this one makes me think about darpa/lockheed martin/boston dynamics, and hidden/integrated suspension/brake lines/valves. No more visible lines/springs/pistons...

they show a video/pictures of it being destructive tested on a stampy rig, too
somebody should send this one to mat hoffman

I can't find anything out about this one

I think it's related to autodesk/dreamcatcher stuff...
