Mike Phillips shared this video in the Fireball group yesterday, it’s very impressive to see the advancement that has occurred over the years. I remember watching a car prototype being created by hand, modelers were working from a sketch smearing clay all over a model pinching and smoothing to make the lines similar to the sketch. Only problem with the manual method is it would be impossible to duplicate. With the CNC machine making the model it has only to be designed once and can be created as many times as needed. Modifications would also be very easy to do compared to redrawing the concept.

actually one could use a clay model for making molds, thus duplication(obviously with some limits, but hey, i suppose they make models for metal presses somehow).

AHHHH !!! all that and not one view of a walk around of the final car. how did it come out in the end !!

Yes CNC machines do make metal forms for use in those huge presses to acutely mass produce the car parts.

I love watching these machines work, It’s mesmerizing.
Also I wonder how much of a mess the camera operator was after being in there with all that debris from shaping.

THat’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while
A lot of mess though
I wonder, could it carve PCB’s ?? :D:D:D:D:D:D:DXD

Looks like the video has gone away. 🙁 If I find it later somewhere else I will update it.
