Comment on Engineers will do anything to avoid learning from historyparent

I wrote FDM instead of additive manufacturing. I'm referring to is actually in SLS (selective laser sintering) space (which is what you refer as PBF?)

What I'm seeing is that companies like Formlabs (plastics) and divergent (metal) are changing the game and you have car parts to car engines to rocket engines being 3d printed.

See my other comment above for more links, but things seem to be changing fast in manufacturing.

Edit:

I think this quote sums the point though:

“With the increased throughput and decreased costs, Fuse X1 has completely changed our perspective on what kinds of projects our lab can support versus what we would have traditionally moved to an injection mold.” Cody Jepsen, Engineering Technician, Additive Manufacturing at Tesla Giga NV
