Can you actually reduce the cheese with the mesh panel of the popular Mac Pro, 'like a cheese grater?'

The latest

Mac Pro , announced at WWDC 2019 held by Apple in June 2019, is a monster capable of loading a 28-core Intel Xeon processor and up to 1.5 TB of memory. However, due to the distinctive appearance of the mesh structure of the casing, it may be called ' daikon grated ' in Japan, or ' cheese grater ' overseas. Winston Moy, who works as a YouTuber, has experimented to see if cheese can really be cut using such Mac Pro mesh panels.

Apple announced Mac Pro ...

It has a very distinctive look.

Because of that, even in overseas media etc, it would be called 'cheese grater' (cheese grater).

A lot of people are interested in the important point of performance, 'Is it really possible to add cheese with the mesh of Mac Pro?'

At first glance it looks like it's just a hole in the frame, but it's a Mac Pro mesh, but it's actually a very complex structure with a three-dimensional structure.

Moy infers the making of mesh from the contents of the keynote and so on ...

It is said that the mesh of Mac Pro is reproduced in 3D.

After that, we build processing procedure to process aluminum alloy with

CNC machine tool.

Actually processing aluminum alloy ...

Make sure the finish. The first prototype, unfortunately, wasn't as the mesh intersection was as Apple announced.

Moy repeats trial and error many times ...

The mesh panel of Mac Pro is not a combination of simple hemispheres, but it is a more curvilinear complex, and it is thought that the 3D design was improved.

Challenge to process again ...

It looks like it did better this time than last time.

Remove the burr ...

Perform shot blasting and give a satin finish for matting.

After a complicated process, finally Moy's own Mac Pro mesh panel is completed. Challenge the question, 'Can cheese be dropped with the mesh panel on Mac Pro?'

Cut the cheese into easy-to-grow size ...

Start to pull down in the mesh panel.

Certainly the cheese is scraped, but the size after scraping is falling apart.

Even flattery, the Mac Pro's mesh panel seems to be ineffective as a cheese grater. However, Moy said that he came up with a better way to use his own mesh panel.

That's a soap holder.

Water is likely to be cut well by the three-dimensional mesh structure. In this way, the mesh panel of Mac Pro has a very fashionable design as a soap storage.

There should not be many people actually trying to put down cheese with the mesh panel of Mac Pro, which is said to start at $ 5,999, but if you really want to take down the cheese, it is not Mac Pro but a dedicated cheese It seems more convenient to buy a grated device.
