"Today I ran an experiment that exposed what I believe to be one of the biggest threats to Americas future I tried to get a couple small steel castings made something simple a prototype component to compare against our own quality from a Chinese foundry and X American Foundries The Chinese foundry rep replied within the hour with a full quote of $XXX ea X week lead time and shipping estimation The American foundries Had a terrible time trying to even find them. One had no website quote form and all had only request for quote buttons Two never picked up the phone. The fourth said they dont do"

"finding candidates well versed in computational geometry today must be like what it was like trying to find someone decent in AI/ML 6-7 years ago. if you're a software bro looking to play a part in reindustrialization stop looking up RAG tutorials and take a peek at opencascade"

"I don't this is just the beginning part of a pipeline automation for meshing parts right now we go from surface model (step) - boundary mesh (stl) then run a voxelizer at 1mm voxels theres a few other steps in the process but we don't have input model control so we need to solve for everything"

"@Dylan_Morri (Definitely an edge case) but we had blades made in America shipped to Germany for a coating brought back to US for laser drilling back to Germany for cert and then back to the us to install Just all around lots of problems haha"
