3D metal printing

[dannytaro]

finally, i can print a gun

[BobMcCob]

Can you imagine the day when we just download parts of a product online and print them.

[loonatic323]

Cheaper? Ha,ha,ha!



[vadimbolshakov]

@TheDrosselmayer это конец 2010 года а на дворе уже начало 2012

[TheDrosselmayer]

Пипец. Вот внезапно и наступило будущее.

OMG! Future came saddenly

[theclosetbrony]

well im screwed

[Zoza15]

And now i know how they make Oscars :P

[Zoza15]

They can create weapons with this technology, fast and easy.. This is some scary ass shit because of the possibillities.

[openarms332]

@Zoza15 the time it would to print all the parts of a firearm would take days maybe weeks. I doubt this method will ever be used to manufacure them unless they find a much quicker and easier way to do it.

[SpongeCraft1212]

hmm... seems legit

[Layman1899]

If it's just a prototype they're after, it'd seem easier to use a regular 3D printer first and use the model to create your moulds.

[sokaro7]

This is just getting started & will transform our material life sooner or later...

[unitedcouture]

Not cost effective and completely impractical for mass production.

[sacrotos]

That seems like very expensive method to create your first model, which is very fragile to begin with..

[oOoxelAoOo]

@sacrotos Less expensive than employing someone to make it for you by hand, and takes a fraction of the time.

[viddicake]

Still useless.

[Adipriyatno]

mas dimana alamat & no HP sampean, saya minat.

[123456789Anarchy]

....so the machine could print its self????

[cyborgchimpy]

@123456789Anarchy printception

[teFyxe]

but, will it blend?

[darkonnis]

alot of work for a door handle, however this will, if it hasnt already become a large part of manufacture. Being able to just print make parts from nothing but metal dust is very impressive. And damn sight easier and cost effective than making a mould for 1 item.

[daytonamon40]

136 hours later you have two gay sea horse handles!

[CasusUniversum]

@daytonamon40 I'm sure they'll speed up the process in the future. Doesn't look very efficient atm...

[mykylc]

No mask, no gloves. That floating dust has got to be fabulous for the lungs.

[greenblistex]

@mykylc debby downer

[mykylc]

@greenblistex wah waaaaahhhhhh! :)

[bradleyii]

now that is the future of production.

[Gunbardo]

How about printing a whole Lamborgini? SWEET

[jaog00jaog]

in five years every watchmaker and jewelry in Switzerland and all around the world will use this kind of machine. Not for the production, but for all the prototype and the research. Well, a lot of brand will use it for the production. Rhis is a kind of magic, human magic power. Wonderfull.

the man ho creat this machine is billionnair, soon

[iwillSub4uuu]

Print some Brass knuckles

YESSSSSSSSSSSs

[TheEducatedtroll]

for a 20$ dragon



[frederickgauss]

es mas fácil esculpirla con los dientes

[tuncer1234]

i bear's hands could crush anything.

[DENMONKEY]

interesting . thanks

[monkey505boy]

Takes forever, giant expensive machines, dozens of steps. What a dumb, pointless way to make something. This can't possibly be faster or cheaper than lost wax, even if you CNC the wax. This is a technology with no market. You've made something simple and easy way too expensive and complex.

[SansP3ur]

@monkey505boy Similar comments were made about computers, the internet, the automobile, airplanes, copy machines, digital media, computer graphics, cell phones, etc.. Anyway, I'm not dissing on you, but take a step back and consider that this is could be an incredible evolving process with plenty of improvements ahead. Personally I'm impressed with it already.

[sayaks12]

@monkey505boy If you search for 3D printer, there are more printers than this, and they may e smaller and faster too.

[dumbnetworks]

@monkey505boy "This is a technology with no market" you are wrong. in interior design and architecture there is a market for this and is quite huge. and the good thing about it is that all of them are unique pieces. You don't have to build the same thing 1000 times to worth the price

[PrintPhysibles]

On my channel i have some videos about real 3d printing. It's different than this.

[bigflytrap]

I want one!

[Mohrkai]

and that kids. is how they make dinosaurs

[fchimself]

Very cool!

[jaguarfanster]

regular CNC machine could have done this in a few hours with much less fucking around

[SansP3ur]

@jaguarfanster Actually, even the most sophisticated 6-axis machines can't get inside some of the crevices that were evident on these door handles. The handle would have to be made in pieces to get the same amount of detail.

[davidskole]

You wouldn't steal a car. No I would download and print it now!

[MrDeepwoodtickles]

Going the long way round, a lost wax casting would be quicker and simpler,print the pattern directly,cast it, process done in half a day,this method has more complexity, more expensive components, long print time, long drying time, long infusion and fusion time,not very efficient,also lots of specialised equipment at later stages, rather than a simple trip to the foundry, which many engineering works already posess.For business, get a 3d wax printer, save a fortune and be more productive.

[Rapido3d]

@MrDeepwoodtickles As far as I am aware there is no wax printer that has sufficient volume to print parts that big, unless of course you know different?

[yangtingtingyangyang]

we had one of these at school...its so freaking expensive because of the binder. same as printing...the ink is so damn expensive!

[JohnshiBRPG]

Thumbs up because of Minecraft 3D printing!

[monkey505boy]

Why not make your rapid prototype out of meltable resin, and cast it the regular lost-wax method? Faster and cheaper in every way.

[Emorejets]

I'd make a portal gun.

[SoniqENTERTAINMENT]

If that metall is very fine powder, he should have used gloves!

[bonbonsmalisia]

D:



[QuakQuak57]

All this to make two handles?

[gemnikkic]

All that for a door handle?

[dumbnetworks]

@gemnikkic there are shops who need unique designs like this

[gojo345]

@gemnikkic If you wanted to make thousands pouring a mold would obviously be a more reasonable decision. However, if you wanted to have a custom handle this is still cheeper than carving it by hand.

[llieske]

@gemnikkic try making that by hand!

[chaz706]

@gemnikkic for a badass looking door handle!

[Akathepriest]

@gemnikkic Thousand dollar door handle.

[Lucidanz]

@gemnikkic New tech has to start somewhere



[Bocktiggi]

@gemnikkic for your own, special unique door handle? Yes :)

[muh1h1]

wouldn't a CNC machine be much faster and cheaper?

[Seikilou]

what the meaning of all this? I mean, 3d printing is bornt to make the process of making prototypes and/or models for denmostration easier and available also for (relatively) little enterprises/schools. So, this thing needs a lot of space, a special furnace to refinish the model (if i understood right xD) and specific materials. So, isn't cheaper, faster and easier to make a mould and reproduce the model in every quantity you want? Isn't easier to use the classical method with wax and metal?

[michaelcrazydude]

oh my god imagine this machine gets public.... imagine how crazy china's gonna get trying to print every damn thing to make money..

[gruff5]

"at a fraction of the cost" what fraction? 1/4 or 3/4 or 3/2 ?

[tuberoako777]

So u can "pirate" almost a lot of objects by just getting hold of a blu print?

[NovaLand]

I get the idea that a CNC tool could do this both faster and cheaper, byt maybe I'm wrong?

[Hirmux]

@NovaLand You can't manufacture the same things using CNC-machine. CNC is a subtractive (takes off layers) and 3D-printer an additive process (adds layers). You can't make a tube for example with CNC-machine :)

[eutectics]

Great video,

all you need now is some taste...

[odlogo]

How strong is this final object compared to one made from solid bronze? Really impressive all the same

[mfraz74]

Can't stand that annoying American voice.

[linagee]

Printable metal objects, coming to a thingaverse near you?

[KEngineeringDesign]

shittiest method for 3d printing... ima change that soon..

[jcudal32]

BITCH IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!! *wait for it**prints out a knife.* OH YEAH! IM GOING TO PROTECT MYSELF! *prints out the parts needed to make his own printer* *he builds it, and then he prints* *a shield is printed!*

[WolfProductions27]

@zoidbergVII i call it 3d printing, and after all, why not, zoidberg?

[2BiGCircLes]

@zoidbergVII looks like printing to me

[azza44100]

@zoidbergVII well it look extremely similar to printing in my eyes

[edgeofsins]

@zoidbergVII

The object was imprinted. Therefore it's printing.

[lukefabis]

@zoidbergVII

This is neither SLM nor SLS. A laser isn't used to selectively melt or fuse the material.

What was shown here actually is called 3D printing. Instead of ink on paper, it's binder on layers of powdered metal which later gets sintered in a kiln. Nevertheless, it's an actual print process.

[zoidbergVII]

@lukefabis Yep

[coolaidOHYEH]

@zoidbergVII get off your horse, its fucking printing

[DavideServolini]

nice, but is not so fast as they say respect to traditional hand modeling and lost wax fusion...

[XxXAUTOXxX]

@DavideServolini Even lost foam casting is viable. It might not be as intricate but with a cnc milling machine it can be. Plus it only takes about 2 hours instead of 2 days...

[DavideServolini]

@XxXAUTOXxX but it necessarely must start from a cad or a rhino document???

[staredeath101]

hmm in the future some nerds will make a 3d model of vagina's and fuck them O.o

[M10663]

@staredeath101 .by nerds you mean yourself.

[tumaru]

I want an idiot proof version of it which is also do more detailed work then paint the thing too.

Preferably one large machine that does everything with multiple materials (plastics, metals, food, fabric, oil, water, paper, sugar, potentially semi biological material... well some of these).

[MrROTD]

what impresses me about this is you can print objects with moving parts already attatched :O

[Parralyzed]

I envisioned something like this. If you want to buy a cellphone for example and want to experience its size first hand, you just print it out and see if you like it. It's gonna be awesome.

[thisisnotdom]

They could have built something more interesting... Like a trumpet

[BionicleFreek99]

3:58 botom half of a milk container? even the pros do it wrong

[dirkdirtydoris]

So I can download a car! then have it printed!!

[sanjukumite]

Print a 3D printer with a 3D Printer. Printception. *Horn blows* BWAAAAAAAA!!!

[nabsta05]

great for architectural students...

[borisrivas2929]

@nabsta05 ooooh u got that right!!! no more doing fuckn models

[shadowlurker816]

3D printed firearms anyone! :D

[impuseuser]

Seems like if this hits a peak in the future only sustainable market will be for the raw materials used which probably means a 2x4 will run you around 100 bucks lol

[netmatrix75]

They are making a car wheel last year. And that same wheel is still being printed out this year.... hahahaa.

[seelad]

Now to print us a new earth and live on it.

[Johnchuk3]

i can just see those idiots in congress in 20yrs "making an unauthorized copy of a lug nut is the same as going up to pep boys pulling out a gun and stealing one."

[comandantejunior1]

oh yeah, and here art dies.. In the name of massive production.

[davehowellman]

Most impressive 3d printing video i've seen along with the tiny faces one, but not as freaky!

[tedchirvasiu]

I wonder who hates metal printing so bad that would dislike this video...

[hitter1]

this is freaking cool!

[dzuari]

Being a manufacturer(Check out my channel), i make aluminum castings and the patterns to mass produce them with 3D printed or CNC tooling, Why wouldn't you just 3D print a plastic part(a lot cheaper and faster) then dip it in investment casting solution and melt away the plastic then pour the casting?

Can anyone tell me the strength to weight compared to an equivalent casting? Stainless steel fused with bronze does sound really interesting and impossible with conventional casting methods:)

[SC4newbie100]

So i can see the future... Today we can get just about anything SOFTWARE based for free from Pirating or other ways but we can't get any physical things free. In the future everyone will have these "3D Printers" as frequent as we have computers. Sites like amazon or eBay might sell PS3 (Or any other physical objects) 3D models for us to buy then print out on our own. Piracy will over come that and we will be able to download a 3d Model file for a physical object for free. #ThefutureofPiracy >:)

[Ragitsu]

@SC4newbie100

Well said.

[FiftyNineNinetyFour]

@SC4newbie100 That was the general idea in the book "The Diamond Age," btw.

[S0larisPrime]

@SC4newbie100 You'll have to pay for raw materials. Plus, electronics require many different materials and complex assembly.

[rabbitwho]

@SC4newbie100 but metal powder will become really expensive and we'll be back where we started

[JavaLuCpp]

@SC4newbie100 Im a Computer science guys, working with silicon packaging and PCB. I disapprove your message.

[tFighterPilot]

@JavaLuCpp Fake. Computer science guys don't deal with hardware, that's what engineers do.

[spanish111japan]

@SC4newbie100 Everyone? The price won't go lower.

[SC4newbie100]

@spanish111japan Well how you feel now is similar to how everyone felt about computers. I remember they used to cost $100,000 for a PC the size of a refrigerator and up untill the 1980's still cost around 7,000$. Or up to $20K for a good one. So I'm not sure how much this 3D printer cost now. But just like computers they will get cheaper.

[spanish111japan]

@SC4newbie100 We will see that... (If capitalism doesn't stop abusing)

[bryanmc650]

@SC4newbie100 the materials that we use to make modern devices are getting more complicated and more costly all the time. Companies can get discounts on materials like gold or rare earth elements by buying in bulk. These aren't the kinds of things you will have around the house to load into you printer.

[sebliric]

@SC4newbie100 god bless :D

[slitzkrieg]

@SC4newbie100 Awesome dude I love the way you are thinking. See, we need more thinkers like you to make the world more...... lets say futuristic and functional. Before reading ur comment I was thinking, what's in this video for me. But man the last three lines of ur comment makes so much sense that now I'm actually praying to see a functional household or day to day 3d printer in an electronics store in the next 5 years.

[Stylie1977]

@slitzkrieg look up makerbot you can buy it right now for 2000 bucks

[haden278]

@SC4newbie100 Unless you can find a way to make a 3d printer replicate specific materials such as glass and silicon, this will not work. Sorry :(

[SC4newbie100]

@haden278 In the future.

[NoRestForTheWeary]

@haden278 @DANKIDYD way to be unimaginative jerks...

[haden278]

@NoRestForTheWeary How about realistic? I'm plenty imaginative, thanks.

[MaxMyrmyr]

@SC4newbie100 sorry to ruin your dream, but the future looks more like Orwells 1984, SOPA is here

[DANKIDYD]

@SC4newbie100 You wouldn't be able to 3D print a PS3.

[Emeengor]

@SC4newbie100 thats way in the future (if plausible at all..).. for examble a ps3, its not jus an object... its an object that has within it other objects which have within them other objects! and all these objects are composed by different materials(plastic,metal,silico­n etc) in different scales(cm,mm,nano etc and even if there was someway to put this huge assembly line factory in a small machine

[Emeengor]

@Emeengor you then had to code it aswell so that the tiny objects (chips,diodes,controllers,cpus­) can work together.

[MrROTD]

@SC4newbie100 the materials arent free anywyand printing something as complex as a PS3 is the far far future. Also have you heard about SOPA? you know the thing that's detroying the internet right now? yeh that was because of DL. Nothing in this world is completely free get used to it.

[SoLarXfLaReXHoMiCiDe]

@SC4newbie100 yeah, we'll print our printers too...

[alienkishorekumar]

@SC4newbie100 awesome idea..i hope some day it will become true..a free world! :D :D

[est000dog]

@SC4newbie100 idk atm good 3d models cost much as hell...

[darklyperfect]

@SC4newbie100 that's the way bro, its you pioneer hackers of the system that makes the world a better place (:

[slash5754]

@SC4newbie100

so if everyone just downloaded every object for free, why would anyone invest time and money to design those 3d objects?

[wattiparisto]

@slash5754 Hobbiest and amateurs would do it.

[kindpotato]

@SC4newbie100 dude imagine all of the different types of materials that would be needed to make something like that. you would need all of the semi conductors and metal and plastic and lcd screen (if its a psp). and doing all of the circuitry at a microscopic level. Just saying it will be a while until.

[kindpotato]

@SC4newbie100 oh yeah and its gonna cost you for the materials

[adrelanize]

Hand made will be always the BEST,this is dEaD MacHiNE Art!

[Watchdawg]

@adrelanize Machines always make it better.

[AgentSmithIsAnElf]

well, there goes metalwork... and sculpting, who's gonna want to buy handmade models now that machines can make them much better?

[landziola]

4:07 i could imagine how much that cost

[superhornet59]

How is this any better than lost-wax casting.......

[stop4stuff]

@superhornet59 - some items would be near on impossible to cast, e.g. youtube com watch?v=guTSrF7J6Y0

[Phuild]

Jesus, all this work for some seahorse handles?

[matixrebox]

print a gun!

[MaxxMayhem1]

@disgustingcreepymale When 3-D reaches full maturity, you won't need bolts.

[MaxxMayhem1]

@disgustingcreepymale So is getting into a man made machine and flying though the air, kind of like birds. In Europe, they are currently printing at the molecular level, in an extreme vacuum. It isn't fast, but soon, you will be able to print in a clean room using multiple linked print arms task sharing in much the same way Pixar uses render farms to speed up their processing. Tiny versions of the robotic arm MIT is using currently for standard scale print can replicate...

[fragm3nted]

the build box looks like a giant litter box

[pattas2005]

Forget metal powders.. Fill it with some blood and a lock of your hair, and print your own clone lol

[1aMattes]

@pattas2005 I'd prefer a megan clone :-)

[pattas2005]

@1aMattes

lol that would be good!

[Elephantintheroom01]

@pattas2005 Too bad he comes out the shape of a seahorse door handle.

[kungenchrille]

@pattas2005

leeloo dallas multi pass loooooooooooooooooooool

[dany080]

No gloves,no masks,eye protection :s damn...

[1marcelfilms]

printing a printer

[Predator000099]

the only problem is they only go to .10 mm thick so sometimes things don't line up.

[MotionArtist3D]

"At the fraction of the cost"??? you got to be kidding me. How much do these machines cost??

[SweNyabinghi]

@MotionArtist3D I think they can be used more than once.

[smileymileyc]

Oh rlly? he pours super fine powder into da box? Dat box must be cool. 0:42

[csmurthy00]

very good video

[kx3clock]

autocad inventor ftw.

[MonsieurRondu]

I wanna see them try to print out a 3d fractal :P

[laenctras]

One day we can take this technology, Form it into an egg, and have it print out beam rifles for our giant robots.

[Kugluck]

Replicate self!

[TheMaster734]

i wonder if they could use this to print a car engine

[Daijobustory]

or you could just make a mold and forge it.

[madtonesbr]

@Daijobustory Forging cannot produce very complex mathematical shapes. Take a look at some of the 3D printed vehicles, shapes, and machinery in related videos. It's an efficient way to make complex shapes without investing in forges; you can simply design what you need when you need it.

[TheDangerPig]

@madtonesbr Maybe forging can't, but making a sandblock and doing a pour can. Of course all the time would come in designing the original out of wax, and that depends on the craftsman doing it. Once you have the original wax sculpture you can use that to with a silicone to take a mold and make duplicates. Not nearly as clean and much more labor involved.
