3D printed titanium parts
Dr. Steve Brule:
I'm dubious but if it works well it's pretty amazing. I'd rather have a version that has a lamp already fitted so your phone battery doesn't get rinsed by having it on full brightness for hours.
Like you wouldn't just send secret dicks to everyone.

I kind of struggle to see how a phone screen can fling out enough light to cure resin quickly and accurately enough, when our little sla machine uses some sort of death laser and still takes a while... Cool if it does work though.

I'm very sceptical. Any resin that is sensitive enough to harden reasonably quickly on the light from a phone will be a pain in the arse to keep out of daylight. Their video shows it in clear bottles in full daylight which seems mad unless you mix it up with some sort of catalyst just before use. I think the reality would have to be dark rooms etc.

I haven't seen it/that video until now.
Paused at ~12 seconds in to log in/post this.
the music, the voiceover, the actors... seems fake, like an snl sketch
just finished it. I can get deep into conspiracy/surveillance stuff about how it might definitely eventually be possible for phones to do this - apple patents for camera lenses/sensors between pixels, laser stuff, iris/retina/finger tracking stuff, etc - but I'm pretty sure this is just another 'microwave your phone to charge the battery instantly' type of thing, getting people to cover their phones in resin. I also don't believe that those guys are italian...
I'd be psyched if it's real, especially for the potential metal casting stuff, but it feels like a setup for a shitty old joke...

The metal casting really isnt a big deal, you can do that with pretty much any plastic 3d print.

point being that A LOT more people have smartphones than 3d printers. It'd be more accessible, more people would be doing stuff with it/making advancements. Easier for more people to get artsy/experimental... progression/expansion. Not creating anything new, just making it more accessible/cheaper for others to do it.
I'm cheap as fuck and I want this to be as easy as possible...
