imagine what else he could print though ,,, a red sub sir ,,, come back in an hour ,

the problem with CSAC (chip scale atomic clocks) for this application is they take about 150mW of power to run...which is going to be problem. Unless I missed it, I didn't read how they planned on powering the unit.

Lunacy.......at £50,000.......I'm speechless.......a plastic,Goldplated watch that runs on a battery.......I'm actually getting angry now......

thats what the said about led quartz watches ,,, and look where we are twenty years on ,,
i think this 3d printing thing is the future ,, bit like a replicator on startrek .
car spares ,,, hang on , ill print you a cylinder head , or the likes ,, new hip joint , no problem sir ,,, granted the fitting on those two examples would still be tricky.

Thanks for the Link.

MitchSteel · 29 January 2014, 02:51 AM

Way of the future, yes, I'd agree.Way of horology? Well, maybe, but not very good horology...

I'm sure you can print whatever one wants, an AR reciever, a belt buckle, a back scratcher.....hell.....nerds can start printing girlfriends for themselves

.......

Oh, it's definitely coming and will be mainstream. Patents have run out on much of the 3-D printing technology and interest is high in this area.

I don't think it's the future, and one big problem is definitely the battery...

The price is ridiculous.

You really don't need a battery, just a really long extension cord.
