But can it build itself?

[Mark Patterson]

It can only build things that can fit inside it. It could presumable make its own components, but would require extra assembly. The trick that animals use is to make smaller copies that grow after birth. :D

[ZombieLincoln666]

[cacman1993]

Oh yeah, I know. I wasn't questioning the product, I just didn't know that stainless steel powder existed, lol.

[eonvee375]

a 1km^3 or 1mm^3 blocks are still matter, no matter the size ^^

[eonvee375]

it would require an atomic 3d printer (for CPU/GPU/APU) which exists already ^^ they just need to refine the technics ^^

[Rtecpc]

Now print electric items like laptops, phones, ect...

[cacman1993]

Stainless Steel powder?

Come again.

[eaglepies]

the whole point is that in order to make that buy hand, using traditional techniques, would take a HELL of a lot more time and effort (not to mention extreme skill)
