Glorious Japanese engineering that predates today's Chicom crap

Please make sure that you have enough "fresh make up air" where you're using that, don't want to have any CO issues. A good carbon monoxide detector in the area would be a good idea.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D Printing

Is a thing, and I'm giddy.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

It has been a thing for a while. It makes parts almost as good as cast. Which isn't great.

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

Haha. I meant that it's available as a product for the little(r) guy.

If I had something that I needed to make a ton of, I'd be on that.

It sold out really early last year too. Try the Sheraton next door. There is a bridge over the road so you can still walk.

The card is, in fact, Titanium.

 

[betzner]

Well, now that I think about it, it could be made out of steel. In any case, it sure has quite the ring when thown down onto the check-in counter..........

Interesting you say that; the insiders were saying that it's a steel card and I didn't check myself - it's pretty (too?) heavy to be Ti. I'll grab a magnet and try it tomo

I just used a magnet - and it doesn't stick, ergo probably titanium, definitely not steel......

There's actually quite a few stainless steel alloys that are non-magnetic.
