In the past, people who bought back IKEA furniture would have a headache how to assemble it, but now I heard that IKEA is working with Lego to develop a new user manual: three-dimensional, of course.

The inspiration for this scheme comes from the method of making three-dimensional PPT invented by a company, if a product itself is very cheap and not worth using the three-dimensional manual, it can also be recycled, anyway, it can be used for other purposes after dismantling, which is the great benefit of being able to divide it.

The IKEA-style ultra-cheap self-assembled car city can now sell to a higher level, because the complex installation has a concise three-dimensional demonstration manual, even the uncle and aunt with zero hands-on ability can follow the three-dimensional manual to assemble a car.

Some of the houses on the market are DIY style, and now they have finally found a way to promote them. Even the average user buyer can benefit from the 3D manual. This great benefit will naturally be taken by industrial workers, because now skilled skilled workers can slowly accumulate experience from the three-dimensional process, the production efficiency is increased by n times, and the learning threshold is also lowered by n times.

Originally, many uneducated workers in the indigenous Africans and South Americas could only do rather low-level work, and it didn't make sense to talk about it, but now the old technical engineers can bring their apprentices very conveniently, and often even don't have to talk about it at all, and the work has never been so easy.

There are even some old workers who have worked hard for decades, and in the end there are still some technologies that they have not figured out, and when the three-dimensional demonstration comes out, they are all "not confused", which is really a great benefit in the world.

As others don't know, the Windsor Consortium itself knows, due to the rapid growth of the learning capacity of the entire industrial system, in order to avoid overproductivity, the United Nations adult citizen welfare has been directly increased from 1 euro to 2 euros per month, and the primary school education level can reach 3 euros.

The journal Nature has launched a shocking 3D edition, and physical publishing has been reborn again. Countless sculptors who were originally high and low have now become representatives of productivity and have entered the publishing industry. Strictly speaking, the current 3D publishing industry is not completely physical, because people who have high-precision Lego machines can download them directly from the Internet.

Boss Tang wants to make the 2 million English entries in the online encyclopedia three-dimensional, and will invest one euro for each entry in the initial stage, that is, the initial investment of 2 million euros to do this. On the surface, this is to promote the general wisdom of mankind, but in fact, it is likely to strongly drive the sales of electromagnetic Lego machines, so it may not be a loss-making business.

There is no doubt that online schools such as schools should quickly follow up, and the three-dimensional version of teaching materials should also set off a craze.

These are things that Boss Tang took the initiative to do, which is helpful to the improvement of the entire human race, but the market does not pay attention to these, and it is the animation industry that follows up when he hears the news. The first question is: Can children afford three-dimensional comics? Then there is no problem, because they learn the strategy of IKEA's low-end products, only rent and not sell, and after reading it, they can recycle, so there is no problem in terms of cost.

The production of cartoons also benefited from the appearance of electromagnetic building blocks, because the scenes could be reused infinitely, saving much work. Think about it again, "Super Mario Bros." has already used this technology to make zuò games, so the character movements in the cartoon can also be made into zuò fully automatic, with mouth shapes and walking postures.

It turns out that animation is a very hard thing, so animation is measured in minutes, and making movies can take hours at every turn. With electromagnetic blocks, the core problem for animators became how to make the puppet's movements more natural. It's a bit different from a game, it just needs to be natural at a certain angle for a short period of time.

Cartoons have become portraits, scenes, and dubbing on a large scale, and sometimes they are shot faster than movies.

Although the ever-changing electromagnetic Lego bricks are good, they are not very practical, and it is better to use them as reliable tools than metal products. Scientists from the Entente countries were not willing to be lonely and claimed to invent a three-dimensional printer for metal. How can Boss Tang be willing to lag behind?

So, Downing quickly organized a team to study a 100-micron accuracy (0. 1 mm) metal printing technology, which is better than the diameter of human hair, hence the name of the project "hair". This is the pixel size on an ordinary monitor, so it is of epoch-making significance, because there is no electromagnetic lock, so it can be made so small.

I don't know how the scientists of the Entente countries did it, but Downing has the magic skill of laser, which can do many things, such as heating the surface of a 100-micron metal cube with an extremely fine beam, so that the metal itself becomes a binder, which has become the core of three-dimensional metal assembly technology.

In order to avoid oxidation, the entire process had to be carried out in a full vacuum, and due to the high precision, the entire process was basically developed under a microscope. The bottom five layers have the slowest printing speed, because these five layers, that is, 500 microns, each metal cube not only has to be glued up and down, but also with the front and back, left and right, and there is an extra laser heating process.

Downing couldn't stand such a slow speed, and finally decided to change the plan, no longer using pure particle materials, and decided to use a whole sheet of thin steel for the first layer, and use laser cutting to set the shape, at least in the second layer to start using particles, depending on what kind of modeling, generally speaking, the second layer can be started, but some complex hollow modeling may need to use multiple layers of thin steel sheets (100 microns).

In this way, it is possible to only illuminate a laser on one face, which is much simpler in terms of speed and process. All the particles that are equivalent to the shape of the steel sheet are laser welded to the steel sheet, which can reach half the speed of the ultra-high-precision Lego building machine. This is because there is an extra welding process.

It's remarkable, no one has the metal craft to make a giant object. Generally, a tool such as a wrench uses metal, and can weld one layer in five seconds, while a 100-layer wrench is only 500 seconds, less than ten minutes.

In order to make the tool strong, the nozzle must have a certain pressure, so that the wrenches can participate in the actual work, and in order to make the tool have horizontal strength, you can add a layer of thin steel sheet every 10 to 50 layers, according to the need for the strength to design, such a medium strength as only 50 layers of plugging once, the whole wrench only needs 3 layers of steel sheets.

If there is an ultra-high requirement for strength, a slow heat treatment of 24 hours and 2000 degrees Celsius can be carried out after the assembly is completed to completely eliminate the voids between the particles.

The heat-treated metal is fully capable of making rifle-grade chambers, so this is a strategic-grade product and will not be sold for the time being.

After the team's experiments, this metal assembly machine can make one rifle in about an hour, three pistols in an hour, and even bullets can make 500 semi-finished products in an hour.

Obviously, the gunpowder-filled machine and the press-forming machine itself can also be assembled from the machine. The power of this rough gun and bullet can reach 80% of the traditional process, the accuracy and service life are slightly inferior, the sniper rifle is barely made, and the level of ordinary rifles is reached.

Since it is a strategic product that can equip the troops, the demand is not small, and even the manufacturing process of metal sheets and pellets needs to be greatly improved so that it can produce 100 micron assembly raw materials cheaply.

The main method is to use a laser to carve out a 100-micron cube mold on a heat-resistant material, use ultrasonic waves to clean the template after pouring into the mold, and then use an electromagnet to suck out all the particles after molding.

The thin steel sheet is directly flattened, and the process is relatively simple and straightforward.

The technology is so efficient that General Dynamics could consider using it to build engines. Of course, it also needs to be sanded to make it aerodynamically optimal. While traditional aircraft engine manufacturing takes "months", metal pellet assembly solutions can complete the work in less than 24 hours.

If the Allied countries' aircraft factories were exactly the same as the resources of the United Nations, the United Nations would be able to build planes at more than ten times the speed of the other side.

In order to verify the solution, the small model can be built within 24 hours, which is the great place, so the engine development speed of General Dynamics is theoretically hundreds of times faster than the other party, and the gap is greater than that of manufacturing.

When such a three-life factory appears in large numbers, it forms a cluster effect like cloud computing, just imagine that when Windsor has 1 million metal particle assembly machines, it can make 1 million guns in an hour, and 5 million rounds in an hour if it wants to make bullets.

When the number of large assembly machines reaches 100,000, 100,000 state-of-the-art aircraft engines can be built in 24 hours, and with the help of ordinary, assembly machines of various materials, its production capacity can really reach three days to produce and assemble 100,000 fighters. Even if the quality of these aircraft was not perfect, they were quantitatively able to intimidate the enemy.

This is called "cloud manufacturing". In the era of cloud manufacturing, maybe the machine that helps you produce wrenches on a daily basis is the machine that makes fighter parts at special moments. In the initial stage of cloud manufacturing, Downing used the name of the project called "applicability manufacturing", which means that the product is enough, as long as it is similar to the things made by the Russians, and it is the same reason as people developing "affordable housing".

As a result, the designers and engineers in Windsor found themselves assigned a lot of projects that seemed to be less than perfect but suitable for cloud manufacturing
