Shane Wighton, from the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, used 3D-printed tooling to form a sheet metal component as part of a concept validation process. Metal manufacturing is essential for all areas of the economy. Because of their strength, stiffness, and long-term durability, metal components are used in applications from appliances to construction parts and car body panels. Traditional metal manufacturing techniques include forming, casting, molding, joining, and machining. Sheet metal form

A YouTuber and engineer built a robotic barber. ✂️ Shane Wighton created a robotic barber capable of cutting hair using scissors and programmed with various haircut styles. Wighton aims for the robot to eventually deliver haircuts comparable to those of a human barber. #RoboticBarber #HaircutTech #Innovation #Engineering #ShaneWighton #TechNews #Automation #GroomingTech #FutureOfHaircuts #Robotics | The MES Times

Ever wonder what drives the design decisions behind our printers? Shane Wighton, the creator of Stuff Made Here and a former Formlabs engineer who led the design of Form 1, Form 2, and Form 3, returns to tear down the next-generation printer with Alec Rudd, the lead engineer behind Form 4. Alec has his work critiqued by his former boss, Shane, as they discuss the thought processes behind seemingly small yet impactful choices, like the design process behind creating efficient lens arrays.
