I had no idea they made boats by blowing up a giant plastic balloon and crushing it in a giant smasher machine, that’s amazing
What’s the method named? Something about casting
This is blow molding, more common for soda bottles. Closed-top boats like kayaks are typically rotomolded instead.
Rotomolded?
Squirt some liquid hot plastic into a closed mold and rotate it to coat the inside while it cools.
How do you control for thickness there?
Likely amount of liquid and amount of rotation.
Transmutation, probably.
Thought it might be conjuration at first, but that’s creating stuff from nothing rather than reshaping matter…
Oh, that’s not the kind of casting you mean? Carry on, then 🤷🏻
Definitely transmutation.
I’d rather it be done via thaumaturgy with a blind, wizened master sitting nearby shaping a tiny version as his family has done for centuries.
Is it not a variation of vacuum forming?
Inside-out vaccum forming, basically.
Printing boob!
I wish engineering was just this all the time and not designing weapons for “defense” contractors 🙃
I want to be the nail magnet guy. So satisfying.
That one really called to me also. I’m not sure why.
I’d let this thing give me a face tattoo.
Which one of the things do you mean? The nail magnet? 😛
I hear Factorio calling…
The roller and the guy with the shovel jabbing it underneath was making me anxious
The way it was spinning it looks like it would have kicked it out, rather than pull it in. Looked almost counterintuitive.
that 3d stamp boob used to be so expensive. it probably still is.
