It prints super-fine details on chips down to an 8mm size. In non-computer lingo, that’s seriously small and seriously impressive.
Either people are easily impressed and I should be charging for my Sharpie services, or they got their units muddled up.
I used to bullseye womprats back home and they’re not much bigger than 8mm.
It’s probably meant to be 8 nm
Yes.
The TWINSCAN EXE 5000 has a resolution of 8 nanometers.

Really?
Don’t be a dick sir Adam. Not everyone knows what a nanometer is.
That’s fair, I was being snarky and it was unwarranted.
Please accept my sincere apologies.
Nice. Every time I see someone being reasonable and admitting a mistake on the internet it cheers me up a bit.
Shall we remove the very essence of the wild in our conquest of the domesticated animal? If sir Adam has dickishness in his heart, who are we to alter the core of his very being?
It is mans struggle with his inner dickishness that sets him apart from the animals. This dualitilty sharpens his faculties. It is not the lack of dickishness but the ability to overcome it that makes the man.
…also, I was being a bit of a dick there.
Well the current cutting edge process node produces components less than 5 nanometers in diameter, so probably just mislabeled units. They might have confused nanometers and micrometers
Yeah my printer at home prints smaller than 8mm lol
We are.
I saw this mentioned somewhere on Lemmy and it must have been the first LEGO set that genuinely piqued my interest since I was a literal child.
If they offered models for cool industrial machines, I’m sure they’d find a dedicated audience.
There are some alternate brick companies making this kind of thing:
Probably a few bits and pieces on rebrickable too.
Intel ordered 100,000 units and said we’ll make it work
ASML shouldn’t have focused on Legos* in the first place. They clearly should have been making ASMR videos. ASML ASMR. It’s just so obvious.
*Bite me, they’re Legos.
I don’t bite clowns. It’s Lego.
