The chemputer tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about a novel concept from Professor Lee Cronin at Glasgow University, where chemical reactions are used to 'grow' physical objects such as drones. This approach extends 3D printing by leveraging chemical processes to build equipment, potentially offering military advantages like rapid, on-site fabrication. The tag explores the intersection of chemistry, manufacturing, and technology, focusing on how chemical synthesis can produce complex structures without traditional assembly lines.

Can you chemically "grow" a military drone?
It sounds like an idea for a science fiction film, but here in the UK scientists and engineers are spending time and money to see if they can do exactly that.
British warplanes are already flying with parts made from a 3D printer.
Researchers are...
