I guess it´s a part of demo for the public to show what´s possible in technology. But on the other hand, when you look at all the stuff the sell, it´s clear that they try to implement these things into "normal" production pipelines.

Have you seen the Airic´s Arm with these "fluidic muscles" ? These are already for sale - but maybe for different solutions...

Have you seen iFab?

Printing in three dimensions? What sounds like a vision of the future has long been industrial reality with rapid prototyping. The previously unattainable dream of being able to "print" one's own products in the living-room has come much closer to realisation thanks to iFab. Whether it be plastics or chocolate, iFab can process the most diverse of materials.

Sounds like you can be interested in :lol:
