  • Clearly, the creator of this hasn’t put together enough IKEA stuff. Half of those dowel holes should be the screw in thingies that mate with the 1/4-turn cam things on the other side. The holes on the top of the hand would be on the bottom, with the cams. Also, it would not say “disposable thumbs” on the page - It would give the product-line name on the front cover.





  • There’s university programs and even guys in their garages who do a lot of the processes in small batches on very old nodes. For example, a material science program may be trying to find new transistor materials, where the nodes don’t matter much. ASML is not the only tooling manufacturer, but they are very good at it. EUV sources are very complicated, so that is a large barrier to overcome. Many smaller outfits like Qorvo run fabs in North America that you may not know about. Clean rooms are a requirement, but that’s not a significant barrier at the very small scale (an entire university may only have one, most experiments done outside of it). Nothing is done by a single machine, it takes an entire building of machines (and supporting facilities)

    Are the entire blueprints for Airbus’s manufacturing facilities open to the public?

    If you are interested in broad concepts that are surprisingly similar processes in a factory, I might suggest watching printed circuit board factory tours. Lithography is lithography.
