It really is an impressive tool/machine. My hope is it can be refined to the point of being able to replicated sheet metal parts in a timely manner. It's not so much the time it takes to shape the part with the robotic tool, but rather the time it takes to program the robotic tooling. I wonder if there are machines which can scan an object with great accuracy, and be able to transfer those scans into dimensions for programming the robotic machine.
This would be a blessing for sheet metal parts in the restoration world where many parts are not reproduced. All one would need is an existing part to scan/copy. If the service could be turned around in say a week after placing an order, it seems like a money maker for all involved.
