This is completely wrong. How would that make sense? This machine can run 24/7 and only needs electricity and it can do it by itself. A worker would need a machine and costs a lot by himself. The machine is also a lot faster, efficient and makes less mistakes. Every part is exactly the same. You completely missunderstood the situation here. Cause and corrolation are not related in this scenario. Yes we have more machines and yes the prices go up but that is a lot more complicated than that. The reasons the prices go up is actually dispite having more machines and it has a completely different reason.
As a machinist, this is godlike but, goodbye to all the craftsmen. The guy programming this probably couldn't sharpen a drill bit if his life depended on it. Soon without machines and power humans will be stupider than a caveman. But it is still beyond cool.
Many of the software engineers actually have physical hobbies like carpentry, gardening, farming, etc. We see what’s coming, those hard skills are going to be more important than ever before. Sure, mad money is in mass production automation, but there’s still a market for small hand made things.
Dont worry about that I am automation engineer even my job will be automated in 10 15 years. Iam hoarding manual tools (even manual drills). They paid off several times doing small projects for my neighbours, adiron armchairs made off wooden cut offs seem to be very popular..., especially that each one looks unique. Thing with automation is that we will be able ro build those tools by ourselves.
Máquina diseñada para alta producción (rápida, precisa, pero costo alto para una pequeña y tal vez mediana empresa) operador y personal de mantenimiento altamente calificado.
Doing this in a fixture with a regular style laser is a serious pain in the ass and comes with multiple quality control issues. I totally feel your pain here brother. I run an industrial laser myself and doing tube work sucks something fierce.
