Re: 3D Printing is going into overdrive
At this year's CES in Las Vegas, there was a company that's developed 3D-printed high-end racing car parts, such as for Formula 1 race cars. I don't know how much you all know about the 3D printing technology, but you can only have one material in the tray at a time. These guys figured out a machine that you can switch trays for the new material and they guarantee less than a 10-micron shift in the printing. It uses a mixture of carbon fiber, graphite, and kevlar and is up to 20x stronger, 1/4 the weight, and costs 1/10 of the current part.
