How a Bakery's Error Led to a Flame-Throwing Sword

It all began at a Dutch bakery company named KAC, which automated its production with advanced technology. In an effort to enhance its process, they established a metal 3D printing department called K3D that acquired high-end printers. However, a mistake in the printing process led to the creation of a porous yet functional knife. When tested with fire, this unique knife demonstrated exceptional properties that inspired a Portuguese YouTuber to think about designing a sword based on this concept. Despite challenges and missteps, such as balancing factors and the sword's resistance, an innovative design called a gyroid was implemented to address issues of rigidity and weight. Collaborating with experts, they ultimately succeeded in constructing a sword that is not only visually stunning but also capable of spitting flames. This sword stands as a testament to innovation and creativity, blending engineering with the passion of content creators on YouTube.
