Excellent research and dfAM... Learned a lot.

When I saw the block manifold I burst into laughter at the thought of 3d printing it.

Good lecture, very pragmatic & informative.

It’s still early in the game... Give AM some time to grow... Doubt casts shadows...

[@tungtran9072]

People talk about AM future all over the internet and the 3D printing companies focus on building nice looking printers, but only Prof. really crush the point. Thank you, Sir.

In the milk carton example you said the redesigned version is removing twice as much heat as the legacy. Would that only be because you replaced 2 cooling channels with 1?

Great video learnt a lot from that. As an engineer I totally agree with what you mention regarding education. Additive manufacturing wasn't something we ever discussed @ university but the possibilities especially from a weight saving perspective are immense. Thanks for sharing & educating 👍

Thanks for your kind comment! Great to hear it was useful.

Things are changing, though. I'm a manufacturing engineering student and my lecturers are AM researchers. Manufacturing students now take lots of AM modules, but most of them still just theoretical. :)

VR6 for life

Why are the machines so expensive 509k+$

[@mookfaru835]

It’s because they sell to the highest bidder: factories

[@WonderSilverstrand]

Holy, 7:29 show me the damn slide

[@chalmersproductionareaofad8193]

Hm, will try to look if we have it saved. Otherwise I recommend to contact Olaf Diegel :)

[@Mike7Lof]

Exactly! Thank you )
