I made a 1m wingspan flying wing RC airplane that prints in a single Form 4L build in just a few parts. Print-in-place, flexural control surfaces for improved aerodynamics and reduced assembly.
It actually survived 2 flights! 3rd one ended because of an unfortunately placed fence...
Is this useful for anything?

Now you can really see everything
Why is it so important for US tech companies to build data centers in the US (as far as the companies are concerned)? Don't they have other places they can build data centers?

Formlabs just launched Form Studio 1, a professional resin 3D printer that starts at $699. It's been a delight to work with the Formlabs team over the past decade helping in a tiny way to create the best 3D resin printers in the world.

Transparent manifold with 500um features holding 15 bar +elastomer gaskets made on a $700 printer.
Flipping through a deck of planned lab renovations and spotted one slide spec'ing a warehouse party while the space is empty.
3D printing and robotics go together like hand and tendon.
16DOF, FOC, 2 tendons per joint..
printed on @formlabs Form4 in Tough2000 thanks for the great printer! @MaxLobovsky
One of the most important pieces of "market research" I did for the Form Studio was asking Formerlings what they would pay to have a Form 4 at home. 5 out of 5 said "up to $1000”

That's a great idea. Good fit for SLA to print fluid lines/manifolds for gas. Maybe using a small co2 cylinder for the gas source. Not sure how to do the valves...
If anyone can make a half decent design for this, we will give them a Form Studio 1.
I'm lucky enough to have spent time with both of those wise engineers.
Here are two of the next generation. If you recognize them consider joining @formlabs

The Jog-01 is a portable stepper motor jogger / pendant. It lets you switch between different modes and fine-tune parameters such as speed, acceleration, distance, repeated cycles, and more.
Want one? Should we open source it?
Designed by Henry Chan, Micronics cofounder. He is hard at work cooking up some great products at Formlabs and building fun stuff like this on the side.

What is everyone using to view the output of their AI CAD experiments if you aren't building in an existing CAD tool (AI using lower level libraries, writing out meshes, etc directly)? Good viewing, sectioning, measuring, etc

The PTC sale is going to look really smart in a couple of months when AI 3D design gets some mainstream awareness and CAD stocks tank.
It will take a little while before AI really impacts their sales, but it will. I'd be surprised if 2 out of the 4 major CAD companies are not mostly dead in 5 years.
