Hear me out: what if you made it entirely from parts created by a larger CNC machine?

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 67 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Self replicating CNC Machines. That's not even a guy operating it, it's 3 smaller CNC machines in a trench coat and hat

A trench coat made by a slightly bigger CNC machine.

It would be very very impressive if your CNC machine can produce and assemble electric motors, wiring and circuit boards from raw materials. But then it would not be a CNC machine anymore.

Sure it could. A 5 axis CNC head could mill out the shape for a motor and be given a tool that spools out wire... It wouldn't be easy, but it could build a motor with just that

It could also be given a head to solder circuit boards

CNC (computer numerical control) refers to the control systems rather than the act of milling materials, a 3D printer is a sub category of CNC. They can even use the same control boards.

You also usually process materials before putting them in - they're good at detail work, but if you start with a block of steel you're going to lose a fortune changing out expensive heads (and take forever). So it's fair to assume you're not using raw materials

It would be even more expensive!
