What it Takes to Run an Industrial 3D Print Farm
Просмотров 939Год назад
Many people are surprised to see that the 3D printers themselves only take up about 1/3 of the space in our facility - all the rest goes to engineering offices, prep space, advanced post processing equipment, tools, and lots of inventory.... all of which is just as important as the printers themselves. This is just a hopefully fun and casual video but we have some exciting, technical, and even ...

How much power does an industrial 3D print farm use?
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
We get this question a lot and the short answer is... a lot. However, it's also important to distinguish what type of power we use. Our print farm uses common single phase 110 volt power but consumes a lot due to the shear volume. On the other hand, our industrial 3D printers and processing equipment requires three phase power at 208 volts or 480 volts. Three phase power generally means the pow...

An Inside Look at a 3D Printer Farm
Requesting future video(s) on Air Compression, n2 Generation, HVAC, Room Air Changes Per Hour and keeping powder based machines cool. Also, do you have a dedicated powder room? For SLS, how/where are you refreshing powder in a way that it stays clean?
slants is bigger
Awesome Video! What about power since all those machines probably are very sensitive to power fluctuations or power disruptions.
Interesting video. I wonder if it would still be the same with the new Slice Engineering Mako in the X1. But then again Slice makes a lot of different hotends they may all ready being using those in those FDM machines.
Nice pov
Tell us the prices and the gross revenue cause this costs way more then the gross revenue i would guess.
What printers are behind you? They look like former Qidi
Subscribed
Can you show these machines in action? I'm interested in how they work, like the process, speed and end results.
I really enjoyed this interview!❤
I order from I solids and they do well
Great interview! Thank you for sharing it. :)
What percentage of your business is from fdm, mjs, resin etc.
Their should be companies specializing in making turnkey print farms.
Looks nice but aside from your industrial machines I don't think you will make money on your consumer 3d printers, everyone will price jobs as at PLA only cost or they will just buy there own. Look back a few years ago and so called drone imaging services that used consumer dji drones, they are all gone now. BTW many 3d print firms have gone bust because of this.
They are making money off it.
I make more money than ever lol some people don't have the time or skill to make something by themselves
Off topic but I see you have a couple of Tormach machines. Do you offer machining service as well?
Those HP machines are really nice. When I was doing engineering work we had Stratasys Forus 900 and 380 FDM machines but I didn't know HP made 3D printers too. That's pretty cool. I personally have a FormLabs resin printer, an AnkerMake M5 and just ordered a Prusa MK4 waiting on delivery for that machine. Cheers!🙂
What industries do you serve?
please donate a old 3d printer to Cape Town please...
great video.
You seems don't have SLA (stereolithography) 3d printer. We can produce one SLA for you if need.
You cannot offer 'engineering services' in the state of Texas unless you are a registered firm with the Texas PE board. Please check the rules. Do you have a licensed professional engineer on staff?
I don't know if they're actually doing engineering work or just 3D printing services which probably wouldn't count as actual engineering. Creating CAD models for 3D printing wouldn't actually be engineering work unless they're designing the parts but I think they're just printing parts that customers created. Also the engineering work you're thinking about is probably civil engineering which would require licensing and certification. Mechanical engineering....I don't think so. I worked in Texas for a few years as an engineer designing lawn and forestry equipment. We were not required to be licensed as mechanical engineers nor was the engineering facility required to be registered with the Texas PE board.
I like you logo
How are you controlling all those Flashforge Creator Pros?
It quite clear that the Hp is a production monster, and as an SLS user I love MJF, however is not fair and true to compare that in one hour the HP produces 5000cm3 of parts while the fdm/bambu produces 57cm3/h, as the HP is only fusing around a 12% of the build chamber, what will give 600gr of fused powder per hour, making the real comparison at around 10 machines. There are also other factors to take into account that can be even less beneficial to this comparison, such as that in fdm parts are not solid, what implies also that you will not need as much material and therefore parts are faster to procuces that if they were solid as in your comparison, and also that parts must get cooled for 12-24h. Even in that case you are comparing a 500k$ system with a 2k$ and only telling you need 88 of that to make it equal... Again not very wise
Which FDM machines do you use? Bambu is not an option even simply because of the lack of Klipper which gives quite boosts for certain use cases (not talking speed but customisability)
Cam you provide a link to air health monitor you use?
Absolutely, here is a link to the relatively low cost devices that we use for continuous monitoring: www.amazon.com/Introducing-Amazon-Smart-Quality-Monitor/dp/B08W8KS8D3 We also use this portable devices for a little more accuracy and specific measurements: www.ato.com/handheld-air-quality-monitor

Great Content!
Hey Kason, great video once again. I really enjoy seeing the knowledge and care you put into your business and employees. keep it up! Greetings, Stan from AM-Flow
Awesome vid! I have a small home based print farm (2 FDM and 2 SLA) just up the road in Magnolia and completely understand the challenges of the weather around here. I might have to drop by some day and get a tour. Pass by you guys all the time. Absolutely love that we have a commercial 3D printing business locally. It has changed industry in so many ways.
Thanks for the support! Yeah, the temperature and humidity are a bit of a downside but otherwise Texas is a great place for additive manufacturing - it has all of the industries that can benefit most right here in Houston, Dallas, Austin, etc. Shoot us a message and stop by next time you are in the area!
Awesome factory and great job on the video. I have a small 3D printer farm myself but seeing this just blows my mind. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if you folks are hiring ? Been wanting to be apart of a team, been doing it alone for a bit though Im more of a team player, Would love to work with folks that share the same passion as me :) i have lots tools and machines i can add also if wanted, And a few full smd rework tables and tools .
nice video bad mic
Your spokesperson is excellent and your video is quite informing. Best of luck!
Bruh Dropped the Spool
Does the HP let you still print if one of the color cartridges runs out that you don't need to use? 😂 Does it need a subscription to work? 🤣
Hahaha.... well, actually, yeah kind of. I'm not the biggest fan of HP consumer products but they do make a very nice additive production workflow. There is a pricey maintenance agreement with a 24 hours response time - if anything were to go wrong we normally have parts overnighted and a technician on site the next day. With one machine offline it could cost $1000s in downtime per day. With that said - there are a lot more companies taking lessons learned HP to improve their products and increasing competition in the space - we hope this keeps HP honest and drives down the cost over time.
As a 3D printing geek I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Your energy is infectious and you obviously love what you do. I wish you all nothing but success!
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!
Why would you buy HP.....
We try our best to be a subjective as possible while evaluating technologies. In this case, regardless of my personal opinions on the HP consumer side of things, they make the best polymer additive product on the market at this time. As confirmed by the Wohler's report - the majority of the industry tend to agree overall. With that said, technology is rapidly devopling and I think its a matter of time until other companies learn, iterate, and improve.
Bro had one job :v
Wow that is an impressive facility! Also what an awesome video getting to see some of the inside of companies and people who are really making it with 3D printing
Очень впечатляет масштабирование. Думал следующий этап принтеров это серийное производство уже другими методами более быстрыми
Just yelling at you.why ?
cool shop!
Thanks, we appreciate the kind words and support!
really cool. i'm just now getting into 3d printing but have been in 3d design since 1999. we just moved to spring and i'd love to come check out your facility
Thanks! You are welcome anytime. Just shoot us an email at sales@i-solids.com to make sure we have someone available to give a tour.
Just a piece of feedback for the website. Don't require an account to get a quote. "Instant Quote" should be just that. I uploaded a file for a print I was curious to see how much would cost to have printed in bulk, but then popping up asking for personal information put me off instantly. If I were given a price, it may have swayed me to make an order.
I love how he walks past the Tormach a few times with a bunch of bins in front of it. Awesome technology on your shop, other than the Tormach of course. If you need a CNC programmer, let us know!

Thanks for the feedback!
Very impressive facility. Those HPs are some high end printers right there.
Thanks for the support!
I think people would be interested to see what you guys have done to the creator Pros you use. Upgrades, changes from stock, any timing you do etc.
