Wow! They’re 3D printing workers now? The future sure is amazing!

Not necessarily u/GRCooper more like from the article and video in which they'll have metal table top 3d printers for the everyday consumer.

This market will grow to be that of 1 billion with-in a few years which will then grow their workforce.

Basically think formlabs but for metal materials.

3d printing a workforce of employees is such good idea. You may not even need to pay them.

Depends on how much for the raw materials and if they are printed ready to work or do they need their neural network models trained?

Terrible headline, interesting tech that uses electrochemical metal printing instead of sintered powder

From the article

>The pilot facility aims to prove out Fabric8Labs’ ability to economically 3D print very complex parts, especially using copper, for its top target markets, which include semiconductor heat sinks and radio frequency antenna parts.

Also from the article

>To keep central processors in powerful computers for overheating, manufacturers deploy heat sink structures to better ventilate the space around the processors. Fabric8Labs can produce these increasingly intricate designs at scale through its non-thermal metal 3D printing process.

Note: This is a demo of their pitch they provided 2 years ago in order to provide reference and some context of their technique

It will triple its workforce. Which workforce? Developers?
