How Robotic Blacksmithing Could Change Manufacturing Forever

Elon Musk believes that "machines that build the machines" are ultimately more important than whatever it is you're manufacturing. In his own work with Tesla and SpaceX, it's clear why Musk says this: He uses less expensive and more scalable processes to build the parts for spacecrafts and cars.
