Speaking of the Future: Advanced Manufacturing

Mind blowing technology, mainly because it will end up being used to blow someones head off. Imagine what you could do with this tech if you did`nt have a militaristic purpose in mind. I.e. homes for disaster victims that could withstand all conditions, have heating and lighting systems inbedded in the walls as well as a communications suite... There are more reasons to use it for humanitarian advancements than military!

The war industry has always been the motive behind most technological achievements.........take the internet for example.

Technology requires a great deal of money as well as minds. When the Gov't backs a company developing in a field that is of interest to them you will get advanced devices. The touch screens we are so fond of were first implemented on F/A-18 Hornet jet fighters. If you live here and you like it we must defend it. Although I don't like the spying and some of the underhandedness, but that goes on everywhere, always has and will. As with any new technology there are greater possibilities as well as illegal uses. 3D printing is dynamic and will change manufacturing and we all will benefit in some way from it. 

Where can I download this cargo plane?

awesome...  now make my warplanes cheaper

so.. we can build another planet? 

"Forbidden Planet"?

Naturally you cannot do a factory in your living room on your desk, but 3d "printing" technology are opening to The factory of the future, with a better and more efficient interface beetween computer 3d design and physical making by industrial robots.

I know its only a short video but this is additive 3D printing he discussed, there are other types. Its interesting that a large company is closely researching this area, particularly the materials apsect. I wonder if they will release any of their findings or keep it all inhouse?

Come on Lockheed make an RC model FPV plane for the general public. It doesn't need to be stealthy, and keep the price down.

Fascinating Captain....

Which robotic arm is being used_

This is amazing! Thank you for this video!

Imagine building, or should I say growing a complex device monolithicly like that. It's exciting in a way. That machines one day, will be able to "give birth" so to speak, they will be able to design and incorporate adaptations into the next generation depending on the environment in which they function, much like how our biological systems do now, but at a much faster rate.
Frankly, I have believed for a long time that humans will evolve beyond just a carbon hydrogen base, to one that will be silicon also. Life imitating life, but in a completely new way that will allow the new evolved species, dependent not, for air, pressure, food and water. To truly have the freedom to explore the universe and like a seed on the wind, travel great distances without time as a constraint and settle new worlds. That I believe is our purpose, to be the instruments of this destiny.

As technology increases, so will the electronics that can be blended in with the materials.

You can't print steel.

Hello to anyone in my business class :))

great a factory of the future; are there outlets available to the public. also, i need a car replica of a segment of a car's panel, can a 3D printer print it out?? And butter fly's; could you make a copy of a butterfly that mimics a real butterfly in all aspects that are important??

How if USA build first nuclear powered big aircraft and shorten cargo transportation less than 10 hrs around the world.

Would be nice if you went with vertical merging. It drives down costs.

The deminshing law of returns here is how the method needs to be understood apart from others.

I'm from Iraq
I have ideas for making weapons, planes, and missiles. I have over 70 invention ideas that I want to realize in the United States
I want to work with Lockheed Martin company
My phone number:- 07512009560

Where can we learn about this subject in University ?

I want sent detail for new process for 6. Generation stealth and any air calf.or fighterjet 100% ones in the world.please contact only one

Safe my data and everybody in my parent and every life
