Hi!: somebody wrote here about a Chinese press machine he owned, being able to
provide several tons of pressure.
The question is: would this machine be able to produce parts such as body panels and
other steel, or aliminium, body parts of a car?
Wit the current 3D copiers, having one copier and a press of sufficient size would allow
making, part by part, a replica of any old car you may wish, just the time and the money
to make the casts or matrix would be needed, and an original or a blue print to be used as
pattern.
Any comment on this?
Thank you, best regards.                Salut †

Pressing steel fenders takes many tons of force.

3D printing in steel or aluminum takes a long time and the machine to do it is
expensive. For one off parts use an English wheel.
