3DP/AM will never supplant traditional mass manufacturing technologies, that doesn't play to the technologies inherent strengths.


Taking the video at face value, certainly 30s per part is quick when you compare it to the general lead times associated with a tooling program. But as a side-by-side, from CAD - SLA v Toolmaker with a CNC/IM Setup - in real time - I suspect the toolmaker won't have much concern.


SLA is possibly the least suitable for this particular challenge, all those pesky outlines and infill hatches. SLS would crush it. As would virtually any inkjet method.
