Can someone guess what this is?
Plastic wrap?
Steel cannister?
No! Snapped at SEMICON 2026, this is a huge silicon ingot measuring almost a meter long! Thin Si wafers as thin as 0.6mm are sliced from such huge ingots to make semiconductor chips.

@stevencheng I love how things are so complex! Scaling cannot overcome hardware limitations

Turns out the future does have flying cars

[The Latent Neuron @TheLatentNeuron]

@DustinWalper I absolutely agree 😁

Process monitoring during #WAAM. Monitoring is essential for gaining real-time information that can be used to control and improve the build quality. Here, a welding camera measures the bead geometry with computer vision. Pretty cool right?

@finmindd @Warrenwala Apa wint wealth mari apps la solra high interest bonds ellam? I've had a good experience with them so far. Sold 5L worth bonds inthe same day of placing order without any hassle

Simple and neat 💡

Lo de llevar luz solar a interiores por fibra óptica es un ideón. Para cuartos de baño interiores, por ejemplo. En vez de un tubo con interior reflectante basta con un cable de fibra fino, que puede ser largo y hacer curvas. Ideón absoluto. Sin componentes eléctricos, sólo ópticos.

Clicks from #SEMICON from Yashobhoomi, Delhi!

India is going through a major industrial revolution 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@kingofknowwhere Interested!

@DabsMalone @Eplus3dM What would be the running costs for such a massive printer🫪

[The Latent Neuron @TheLatentNeuron]

@DavidMoodie_ @kadinsswitch 1.8 RA as cast? That would be a tremendous achievement. Milling such complex parts could be a real challenge and Inconel (particularly 718) is notoriously hard. Electrochemical polishing can provide sub-micron finish without hassle.

@SkinnyfatTony Rookie question as someone working with Roboguide, in what ways is your builder better than WeldPro??😅

[The Latent Neuron @TheLatentNeuron]

More #WAAM action. Printed a V block with SS316 wire. See the state of the base plate even with ample interpass cooling time.

Slicing was done with Cura and later translated to Fanuc code. Is there a good open-source slicing tool for robotic WAAM?

There's no driver or a steering wheel or a pedal. More space for passengers and less costly to operate. This is just the first of many more to come. Damn they're ticking all boxes with this one. Who would've thought Tesla would come after poor cab drivers🫡

@akshansh_mishra Yay finally WAAM

Once a wise man said...

You pick a subject that you're passionate at and you won't have to work a day. Because it won't pay you well.
Hope it's time for the hardware bros🤞

Mechanical engineering would be way more popular if mechanical engineers are paid the ridiculous salaries that software engineers get.

[The Latent Neuron @TheLatentNeuron]

My first big print on the FDM printer! The finish was poor though, but the overall shape is intact. Printed with PLA on an old Flashforge printer, this Eiffel tower took just above 2 hours to print. Any suggestions??
