Patrick Lloyd | the mold itself would be $1500 to $2500 | 20:54:51 |
Patrick Lloyd | Zack says vaccuum casting could be a better option | 20:55:44 |

Patrick Lloyd | According to Zack: "you need tapered bits and ball end bits, which generally aren't available on standard Tormachs" | 20:57:29 |
Patrick Lloyd | He says "To get the most bang for your buck (with $500), design a 2-part tool with a core and a cavity and then have it SLA 3D printed (ultra high definition). Then vaccuum cast with that 3D printed mold" | 20:59:25 |

Patrick Lloyd | I dunno. You should probably talk to him directly before you blow $500 on molds. He has a lot of good suggestions on processes and DFM | 21:05:11 |
Patrick Lloyd | He said I could give you his email if you wanted to throw some questions at him | 21:05:38 |

bobsmith-dpi | To answer your question: I took the injection molding class at TechShop. So no. | 21:20:58 |

Xilinx is introducing a revolutionary new heterogeneous compute architecture, the adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP), which delivers the best of all three worlds—world-class vector and scalar processing elements tightly coupled to next-generation programmable logic (PL), all tied together with a high-bandwidth network-on-chip (NoC), which provides memory-mapped access to all three processing element types. This tightly coupled hybrid architecture allows more dramatic customization and performance increase than any one implementation alone

Patrick Lloyd | looks like Xilinx gets it | 23:18:23 |

Patrick Lloyd | those are for doing datacenter FPGA acceleration. It's what AWS uses in their F1 instances | 23:21:44 |
