Well who helped design the periodic table of the elements? Is america the only country not obeying the standard worldwide accepted spelling of aluminium? Alumina is a real word meaning aluminium oxide but thats not aluminium. As for solder I believe that's just a mispronunciation. God even my iPhone is telling me to spell aluminium wrong.

@Woegjiub Considering Americans named and discovered that metal, they can use the archaic name originally assigned to it by them if they want. Go fuck yourself

Solder, not "sodder".
Aluminium, not "Aluminum"
Bloody yanks.

The Reprap is a good step in the right direction.
Currently, we have a 3d printer which can make many/most of it's parts.
Next, a 3d printer which can make ALL of it's parts. (harder than it sounds)
Then, a 3d printer which can make and assemble ALL of it's parts.
Finally, a 3d printer which can copy itself, and gather resources to further copy itself.

@dap0ss optic fiber is a great idea, unfortunately you can't shape it that easily. Wrong angle and you lose data partially or all of it.

do you think it would be possible to embed optic fiber instead of metal? Seeing as optic fibre chips are now being developed, wouldn't it make sense to transition straight to the superior technology?

i am not sure why but conductive thread comes to mind has a interesting alternative.
