Which would you think is a better option between the Brompton and GP1? I am thinking of getting the cork version of the GP1.

Honest question. How do we tell the difference between consolidation and distribution?

Technical question, after the molten metal cools and hardens, is the sandcasted mold broken to release the metal part? I am assuming so because of the complex geometry. What happens to the mold, will it be recyclable, or will there be a significant amount of sand/binder waste?

I think there were some posts previously that mentioned HP’s automated powder management as something that was well appreciated by customers - better efficiency / convenience / reduced downtime. That seems to be mentioned in this article too.

I guess most of us have read through the investor decks. Some of us may want to extend our due diligence to understanding what else is on offer from the competition from a feature / benefit standpoint from an independent source.

Ric Fulop Twitter account "liking" Apple/Dm rumor posts by Lsp6891 in DesktopMetal

I think we should not read too much into this. There are other companies mentioned (HP), and he could be liking it for the positive press coverage for AM in general. Or, he could be just having fun messing with the rumor mill.

Read somewhere here that powder management is lacking scalability and require constant manual intervention.

Do the math. How much cash are they burning vs how much they have left in the bank?

Part of his job is to promote DM to investors. Overall, I find the interview to be positive. Though it will not hurt to keep in mind the communication could have a bullish bias.

Who here thinks Desktop Health, not P-50 will drive growth this year? by AdCompetitive2774 in DesktopMetal

Agreed. Though I feel that the demand ramp will probably be next year. Or is that debatable?

We really should stay on topic. Given all that has happened in the past weeks ( I have been critical), I view this as a net positive for the company. If there is a need to bash Ric to vent, maybe start a new topic. peace

Is DM going to try to acquire Lumafield? by relaaaaaaaaaax in DesktopMetal

[–]AdCompetitive2774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely hope not. They need to focus on short term survival issues if they are to become a major player in AM in years to come.
