The study is available for free download the next 48 days.
There is some complicated stuff here but nothing you can’t wrap your head around if you go through my course! After chapter 2 (physics) you will be familiar with most of the variables used for the math equations behind the paper.
Machina labs is really working on some incredibly unique manufacturing styles, here is a look at how the apparatus works.
