BMW’s new factory doesn’t exist in real life, but it will still change the car industry
Building a car factory is one of the most complex and expensive design projects imaginable. The factory itself is a giant machine where thousands of human workers, robots, and thingamajigs must move in a perfectly choreographed ballet to turn 30,000 individual parts into one automobile, at a rate of one car per minute. Before construction on the factory begins, thousands of engineers draw millions of CAD drawings and meet for thousands of hours. Worse yet, they know that no amount of planning will prevent a long list of bugs once the factory finally opens, which can result in millions of dollars lost every day until the bugs are resolved. At least, that’s how it used to work. This is all about to change thanks to the world’s first virtual factory, a perfect digital twin of BMW’s future 400-hectare plant in Debrecen, Hungary, which will reportedly will produce around 150,000 vehicles every year when it opens in 2025. Ross Krambergar and Rev Lebaredian explained exactly … [Read more...] about BMW’s new factory doesn’t exist in real life, but it will still change the car industry
Relativity Space Launches Its First 3D-Printed Rocket, But Fails To Reach Orbit
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin O n Wednesday , startup Relativity Space successfully launched its Terran 1 rocket from its launch complex at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after two previous attempts had been scrubbed. However, the rocket failed to reach orbit due to a failure with the upper stage engine after a successful stage separation. The rocket, which was almost entirely 3D-printed, is an industry first. Despite the failure, the event will give the company valuable data as it moves into future test launches. The company manufacture its rockets with its Stargate printers, which can help build a rocket from raw materials to flight readiness in about 60 days. “Not only did we develop a new rocket, but we also developed a brand new manufacturing platform that we've used to produce a majority of that rocket” says Relativity’s SVP of revenue operations Josh Brost.

Deputies Sue Afroman After Raiding His Home
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is suing Afroman for using video footage of their January raid on his home in his music video. Several deputies have sued the artist claiming he was profiting from the sale of merchandise that included their images, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

Netflix’s 1 Million Users Prove Ad-Supported Tiers Are Future Of Streaming
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The streaming wars have reached another momentous milestone in their post-Covid adjustment period. The services are anxiously wondering if ad-supported tiers can spur the growth streamers have hoped to reignite. The answer appears to be a cautious yes—at least if the first ad tier subscription numbers from Netflix NFLX are any indication. According to a report, the streamer hit 1 million active users for its ad-supporter tier in its second month. It showed tremendous month-over-month growth, expanding by 500%. Equally important to Netflix, the delivery met the baseline promised to advertisers on the new service, meaning no need to serve up makegoods (free ads to balance out underdelivery of commercials). It’s a significant achievement for Netflix, which suffered its first year-to-year subscriber drop in over a decade in 2022. But perhaps more significantly, it signals a potentially seismic shift in the streaming … [Read more...] about Netflix’s 1 Million Users Prove Ad-Supported Tiers Are Future Of Streaming
