How right you are! 40% faster wasnâ(TM)t even closer two decades ago. It reflects very poorly on the author.

Try https://www.warp.dev/ - it’s a freshly reimagined terminal written in rust.

Just because the mold has 0.005 mm precision (which is difficult in steel, from which the molds are made - probably needs EDM or some other expensive, high-end method), doesn't mean that bricks themselves are anywhere near that. There are a variety of considerations (shrink, draft, wall thickness, etc.) that play a roll and limit the accuracy of the bricks. 3D-printers approach 0.05 mm accuracy, which might be enough. SLA gets even better results.

Short of anyone actually trying and measuring the result, it's just a lot of conjecture. But what I can state confidently, injection molding blows 3D printing out of the water for quantities > 100 on price and repeatability/quality.

So for that one special hard-to-find part, try 3D but for anything else it's probably a waste of time and effort.

Apparently Phillip Morris (Tabaco) and Exxon have heavily funded Global Warming Naysayers.

My background: I have a PhD in Physics, took a few courses in alternative energy and have followed Global Warming fairly closely for about 5 years now. I see its effects from more or less my doorstep in the Swiss alps. At the local premier of Gore's film, one of the IPCC authors (Professor at the ETH in Zurich), said that Gore's film was on the money for nearly all points. He said the world-wide population of serious nay-sayers could be counted on his fingers and the majority of them lack the appropriate training and background.

The CEO of Shell put it best: the debate is over.
