I DO read your blog, silly!

You said it would be useless IF they had no closed loop control system- that is, ability to correct while it is happening.

Rounder said, "It would be far from useless. I would assume that once the compromised environment is detected the action would already be complete which would make a simultaneous correction impossible. The way that deviations in the aerospace industry work is more complex that most realize. Any small deviation can disposition the entire assembly as scrap, hundreds of thousands if dollars down the drain because of a .010" deviation. If the deviation is deamed repairable most times the proposed repair must be submitted to the end user and await engineering approval. It is not as simple as "fix the weld".

I agree with Rounder... they don't have that yet, (though it is protected by their Patent) and PrintRite is still valuable, because of the way Aerospace manufacturing works.

When they develop Metal 3Dx fully, it will be a closed loop system that monitors and corrects at the same time, which is why they can truthfully say it will boost production by- what was it, 5x??

...Frankly, your blog scares the hell out of me sometimes, because it's not all been confirmed by the company, and you use their logo which is misleading, and maybe not legal. If you're wrong, or your grammar is wrong, etc. it still LOOKS like it's from the company, because the disclaimer is way down at the bottom where only those with a very long attention span will ever go.... and we all know THAT's decreasing constantly. (Trust me- I teach middle schoolers.) Lol!
