WOW!

 

[RustyRatRod]

That's utter badassary.

Metal shapers are going to morph into programmers.

It'll be 10-15 years before they become more widespread.

Too bad Tucker wasn't able to build that car.

 

[Righty Tighty]

Dang, that is neat-O!

 

[barbee6043]

I agree! WOW!!! That is so cool!

Metal shapers are going to morph into programmers

Like machinists, BUT the knowledge of how metal really bends and cuts is what make or breaks a part.

Like the automotive engineer who has never wrenched on a car, the designer who creates the CAD to run on the machines had better know how metal moves.

Metal shapers are going to morph into programmers.

I agree, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the normal progression as we develop new technology. Like @Dana67Dart mentioned, understanding the fundamentals of any trade is crucial, whether you're doing it by hand or telling a robot what to do.
