I did a coop at IBM many many years ago. My project used a 1" thick slab of aluminum that was about 3’ x 4’ and it was so much fun to just touch that thing. We also had CADCAM which was not at all widespread in the '80s. It was so much fun to design parts and send them to the machine shop electronically and have them show up on a cart outside the lab the next day. Quite a shame how far IBM has fallen since those days.
A blank 10cm by 10cm square piece of aluminium. About 2 cm thick
I think I wanted to know how it felt. Like, the vibe of aluminium
