Reshaping History with Digital Sheet Forming
Desktop Metal
It's about time someone married sheet metal forming and digital technology. The video is basically an ad for Figur sheet metal forming machines, but these machines are wonderful. They are expensive, Google found a price of $500K, but when you consider a good sheet metal man is going to cost you $100K a year, and what that man can do in a week this machine can do an hour, you can see how it could pay off. It's not going to replace sheet metal stamping any time soon, but it's going to be a boon for people making one-off machines. It will be interesting to see how this changes sheet metal creations over the next few years.
