    Before u know this ‘ll be the machines printing out robots quite fast! Man is really destroying himself…

  • PabloFerroDesign:

    @BrokenAtari Microchip companies already use a printing process for their chips in silicon based plates. Without printing, modern <60 nm microchips would be impossible.

  • QuaziGNRLNose:

    @GodlessMartyr666 maybe the weight of the particles prevents them from becoming considerably airbone (theres a lot more gravitational force acting on the particles of a heavy metal than simple cellulose dust that Brownian motion might not apply)

    @mikeccuk2006
    Probably make it yourself with an ion beam or an electron displacement machine.

  • mikeccuk2006:

    @BrokenAtari
    where/how can you make a 22nm 3d printer nozzel?
    That must be somehow the smallest needle.

  • rockerojuan:

    @BrokenAtari NOPE, intel makes their processors in a extremely clean environment.

  • 3goldy:

    @BrokenAtari “think” & “intel” at the same sentence?

  • aoknives:

    Stainless-steel powder, Don’t breathe this!

  • johnjhl:

    This is genius..

  • BrokenAtari:

    Think Intel could print their 3D processors with this?

  • mushispalt:

    o_O u could easily print weapons at home

  • LiveTrippin:

    Hand that shit over to a real bike designer and see what we get!

  • mapukmapuk:

    this possible to make a gun that will no break?

  • Paulbkaraoke:

    For production, a mold probably better. but for making a copy from a 3d scan it is incredible!

  • refa42:

    “Metal 3D printing is much faster than conventional methods in just fraction of the cost”. That’s only true if you want one or two of them. BS otherwise.

  • GodlessMartyr666:

    I hardly think its safe to handle that steel with your bare hands, let alone breathe it without a mask on. Even an N95 would be sufficient.

    Beleive me, I work in a bakery and I can promise you after much exposure and research on the subject that super fine micro particles ( dust, spores etc.. ) inhabit the air current up to ninety metres around the source , especially with agitation.

    That gentleman is either brave or VERY ignorant to handle this powdered steel without gloves and a mask…
