ROBOFORMING: Behind the Scenes as Machina Labs (The Future of Metalworking) - Smarter Every Day 290B

Can I place an order on a refrigerator front with Han Solo in carbonate? 😁

Mind boggling number of parameters to code for. I'm in awe of their audacity.

So I'm an EE who works in industrial manufacturing (welding robots, and some simpler machines) and these are by far the most generous with knowledge and interesting folks I've seen in ages. If they were near me I'd be trying to work with them. I'm amazed they let you film this much and I think everyone is better off for the experience!

Thanks for going deeper without asking us to go to a different platform, really appreciate that.

Its fun to see the math that blacksmiths had to do by eye for hundreds of years. So many similarities between an ancient way of moving metal, and cutting edge tech.

I’m at a loss for words. I dropped out of college and took a Manufacturing Engineering job. Being in the field has actually made me want my degree more, I’m hungry for the knowledge. Inspiring to hear him talk about leaving school to go work several times. Thank you for sharing his story at the end. What an awesome video.

The excitement in these guys while explaining what they are doing shows how much they enjoy what they do

I never thought I'd waste two hours watching videos about metal forming. Except it's not a waste. Thank you! I'm proud to be a patron, and I'm glad to help pay for it.

Only this channel allows an engineer to get enough high quality IDEA INPUT to have a BRAIN EXPLOSION. THANK YOU ‼️

This is mind tingling. I’m a glass blower and at 1h 11min he talks about re striking. It made the reasons why I form the glass, when I do through out my steps make sense to achieve an uniform wall thickness. It is so easy to unintentionally make the bottom of a glass vessel paper thin because it is having the most work done to it. Thank you so much for sharing the long form of your conversation with him!

Just the fact that these guys can reproduce car parts no longer manufactured makes me excited Obviously there are much more unique & creative markets for it but as a car guy, I can tell you that there are some body parts you just can't get anymore for classic cars without paying more than the car is worth. I would give anything to work in this facility even if I was just sweeping up after the machines

The video on the main channel was magnificent, but this was next level. Absolutely brilliant video with super smart people - who are definitely getting smarter everyday. Loving this series, Destin. Thank you.

I think Destin said the exact same words I'm thinking: "I'm in love with this place" :D I love the people's enthusiasm, seems like a fun place to work, plus the tech is amazing. I'd never heard of this type of manufacturing, and I'm blown away n.n

“Deformed areas become magnetic” Love it!! So much new tech can come from this. True micro to macro scale affects with simple deformation and removal of heat in the process.

Dude, you could do a full channel on this series. Keep up the amazing work.

As an artist and trained mechanical engineer that has been shaping metal and thinking about this for years, I am blown away. The level of shear technical proficiency in so many areas is frankly awe inspiring.. Would love to work with these guys on a project sometime..

I loved the way the guys talked about the process without saying "oh, that's a secret we can't tell you." They were very forthcoming about the process and how it all worked. Will they ever be able to speed up to the speeds needed for mass production? A fantastic video, thank you for making it.

I've got a degree in CompSci and their software sounds so cool. I'd love to be able to work on such a dynamic system like that. Sounds fun!

I didn't know that and I've been around stainless steel before. Austenitic steel is normally non-ferromagnetic and they are changing the internal structure through working the material. Very interesting indeed. I can see why "Smarter Everyday" would say his mind is blown away. There are so many possibilities once this process gets perfected. Imagine one day a desk top model for forming small metal parts for home use.

Man, the software for these robots sound so incredibly complex, what they can do now is already an insane achievement, but they're just getting started! This video blew my mind multiple times! Also, the statement at the end is so incredible. The fact they can manufacture more quickly than computers can simulate (which would still have to be tested in the real world) is so insane. Can't wait what the future of manufacturing holds. Between this, 3D (metal) printing, and computer optimized/ designed from scratch parts, the future will be insane
