"I can't say they didn't do it, all I can say is they haven't demonstrated that they have."

"Because they're finally ready," DeChambeau said, emphasizing his confidence in the clubs he has built. He has been working on innovative designs, including wedges with unique features.

"We have talked so much about the Iron Pipeline... But we have moved from the Iron Pipeline to the kitchen table pipeline. You can sit in the comfort of your own home, at your kitchen table, with polymer and print out a gun."

This proof of concept in the manufacturing industry allows us to demonstrate how humanoid robots can act as extensions of an organization's operations by providing business context awareness and integration with existing workflows.

In the nineteenth century, entire railway networks became obsolete almost overnight, not due to physical deterioration, but because of changes in the technical standards that supported them. The expansion of railroads across Europe and North America adopted different track gauges, and as a dominant standard gradually emerged, these infrastructures became incompatible with one another.

The entire body of the lamp functions as a lenticular lens, using the fine, horizontal ridges of the 3D printing process as the optical array.

Most water filter pitchers are made of BPA-free plastic. But as new research shows that bottled-water drinkers ingest tens of thousands of excess microplastic particles, wellness lovers have begun to look askance at water filters that are themselves made of plastic.

Musk stated, 'We either build the Terafab or we don't have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab.' This emphasizes the urgency of the project.

The body of the robotic fingers is built from polyglycerol sebacate, a synthetic elastomer made from glycerol and sebacic acid. Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production while sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, and both of them are plant-based. Polyglycerol sebacate is safe since it is already used in medical implants because the body can absorb it without a toxic response.

If you've signed up for Cursor to do some casual vibecoding, you'll probably find yourself disoriented by the command lines and acronyms that live throughout the software. Lu proposes he can solve this tension with his new project, something he's calling 'Baby Cursor.' Lu imagines Baby Cursor as the next generation of the company's software, which first launched in 2023.

According to the outlet SlashGear, the neighborhood encompasses five 1,000-square-foot houses just north of Sacramento. Each domicile is produced by a hulking concrete printer worth about $1.5 million, which took about 24 days to spit out the first house. In the future, 4Dify expects the whole process to take about 10 days, but that isn't what's astonishing about the Yuba County neighborhood - it's the price tag.

I take the product apart. CAD it up. Illustrate each view. Then animate and lay it out for the web. That sounds quick, but it does take me quite a bit of time to create each one.

Traditional construction is often marked by inefficiencies like material waste, labor intensity, and long project timelines that push up the final cost per square foot. In contrast, 3D printing, or Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC), introduces a fundamentally different approach, shifting from subtractive to additive building processes. Its central ambition is to make housing more accessible by lowering material and labor costs while enabling faster delivery of structurally sound, architecturally considered homes.

Mexico's construction sector faces significant environmental and social challenges. The widespread use of carbon-intensive materials has positioned the industry as a major contributor to national CO₂ emissions. At the same time, construction labor conditions remain unstable, with limited access to technical training and high occupational risk. CORNCRETL, developed by MANUFACTURA, proposes a circular material strategy that addresses both environmental impact and production models within the building industry.

That's today's project. In this article, I'll show you how I started with a picture of me, used some intermediate AI, and turned it into a physical 3D plastic me figurine. Do I need a me figurine? No. Is it cool? Yeah. Does it show off another AI capability? Yep. I'll be honest. I didn't expect my editor to sign off on this pitch.

This corn-based construction material was made by Manufactura, a Mexican sustainable materials company, and it imagines a second life for waste from the most widely produced grain in the world. The project started as an invitation by chef Jorge Armando, the founder of catering brand Taco Kween Berlin, to find ways he could reintegrate waste generated by his taqueria into architecture. A team led by designer Dinorah Schulte created corncretl during a residency last year in Massa Lombarda, Italy.

The Roadster launch was bold by design. Falcon Heavy's maiden mission carried no paying payload, no government satellite, just a car drifting past Earth with David Bowie playing in the background. To many, it looked like a stunt. For Elon Musk and the SpaceX team, it was a bold statement: there should be some things in the world that simply inspire people.

the automation of heavy machinery enabled plants to operate continuously, increasing productivity and revenue. The downside was that any small hiccup was acutely felt, cascading through the production line. At first, it was assumed that inadequate lubrication of factory equipment was causing parts to seize up or break apart. And so, the Lubrication and Wear Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, along with the Iron
