I want to hear about what the contaminant was. I saw in another article that these are additive manufactured parts; they take powder metal, use a laser to fuse it together, and 3D print the parts building up layer by layer. Any extra metal powder is collected, sent to a company for cleaning/testing/certifying and then recycled through to use in the printers again.
So was the contaminant there from the beginning or was it introduced into the powder at some point as it cycled through? What does their readacross look like; are there other parts out there that potentially have similar contamination? I hope they eventually disclose way more detail and progreas as the investigation continues.
"Train new people"
What do you think is going to happen if you hire a brand new person out of college, give them no directions, mentorship, processes, or procedures, and literally say "don't ask me, I pay you to figure it out"?
I can work in a "ask for forgiveness, not permission - move fast and break things" culture. But then people shouldn't be getting mad when shit breaks.
