The Future of Aerospace Manufacturing and Automation

Threety printing is just softwar riven manufacturing and automation. If we could print an entire rocket, that would have a hundred ims fewer parts.

And 60 days later than that, we can doet an even better version. Bcause there's fewer constraints with treety printing, you can iterate much faster. It strikes me that there'ster some similarities here, at least on a high level, between kind of electric cars and the internal combustion engine.
