    Deficiencies in engineering CAD UIs and CAM in particular is as an unnamed culprit in the decline of manufacturing jobs and the rise of automation; 3D printing is not usually stronger, better, faster, or cheaper, but you don't need tothink about toolchanges or do path-planning.https://twitter.com/avibryant/status/988141458270994432 …

    I reduce whatever I want to say to be so simplistic and/or cryptic that it will fit in a tweet instead.

        *inhales* and to think I even had two characters left to use for extra spaces after my punctuation

        but I still forgot a space in a crucial location, ugh. For want of an edit button, the will to setup a blog was lost..

        "you don't need to think about toolchanges or do path-planning" <- i know it sounds like i'm nitpicking but with parts of any value this is sooooo not true!!

        This is why I was so surprised at your tweet a month or two ago about the company making FDM parts at a price competitive with injection molding (and EVERY mass-production process?) up to thousands (?) of units. Is a big part of the injection-molding NRE cost the CAM UI?

        I will agree on CAM but for CAD the UI'S have more or less standardized on copying solidworks. A decent part of it is you can 3d print a bunch of things that would be a massive pain to machine.

        I'd also say the inflation of tech salaries have also caused many of the people who would doing the running of those software packages to be writing them instead.

        3D printing is about to explode! It’s shoulder to shoulder with ML as an explosive affect on culture.

        FFF printing also has the benefit of just being 'strong enough' for the average schmoe...strong enough for a shower curtain, not strong enough to go to space.

        Claris CAD was the best low-end 2D UI ever. Still not matched.
