Nice machine but I’ve been using my standard 3 axis CNC mill for 20 yrs with CNC female wooden dies and a modified program to do the same thing, especially raised lettering. Good luck to the company though.
yeah i would say low volume production or plain simply prototyping. I mean you dont want to invest 100k in molds to then find out the product dosnt work as designed and just bin the 100k in stamping mold to try the next design. So its better to make it on a machine like this, build 1 or 2 prototyps, and if it works you get stamping dies made if you expected order numbers are big enough for that atleast.
Seems closer to a standard mill analogy, since it starts with a flat plate and works it into shape. Or as someone mentioned vacuum forming. It can't possibly be quicker or cheaper than a stamping process, though, so it seems like a solution without a problem?
Depends on the parts, i suppose. It would form whatever the underlying tool and CNC code asks for, which could be one large part or several smaller nested parts.
4000 hours later, "Boss, It is finished".... LOL.. Don't get me wrong, it is clever. I can remember doing middle school projects with tin, copper, brass sheets like this and the detail can be taken as far as your time is willing to be invested.. The idea that a buck underlay is still required, makes me question how this could be practical over the hydro-forming sheets over bucks or rubber compression forming over bucks? each have a cycle time of 30 seconds to a minute... just saying.. I kindly ask, as I am actually really curious as to how this process can benefit my business, over the other processes that are well proven for at least 30 years and some longer then that back to WW2?
@@salvadorebertolone point above is that if you have to make a buck like teh blue resis form in the video than there are quicker and cheaper ways to form sheet over that that can be used for small production runs as well as one-offs, there are also ISF processes that don't use a buck just an CNC controled sytlus that forms sheet metal against a resilient base isn the same way you would hand form against a sand bag and over a dollt etc. but you can make parts to a CAD model. They are definitely more suitbale for one-offs than the process inhtis video.
Cool but 4 yrs later then 4 yrs later I don't really see it being used anywhere. I mean its bad ass'd and super cool but stamping is smooth and I don't want a hood scoop that looks like it was made with a hot glue gun going round and round
Except that you can't hand form to a CAD model and you often have to make the part up out of multiple part sheets welded together, it's also podsible to ISF parts without a buck as used here and that is def more cost effective.
Good for "one offs" or Prototyping.
Not really, since it requires a shaped tool. I suppose a cheaper option than building a full stamping die but still extremely expensive
0:50 my sister has one of those
She must be quite industrious to bring her work home with her.

Good job! What material is the white forming tool made of?
That is going to be one expensive part considering the time to make it.
What is the plug made out of and how long does it take to make?
I assume the only practical use for this method, rather than stamping, is the cost for very few parts.

".. does not requiere investment into costy tools, suchs as dies." What do you call the thing that went below the sheet metal, then?
100 $ piece of machined forming polymer... compared to 40000 $ complete die if you buy it in China
@@Rapbando That's a lot more than $100 of material and a lot more than $100 machining time!
Good job! 👍 What material is the blue punch made of?
unobtanium

Who do I write my $1m dollar check to? lol. Seems really practical.
Right. Lol
ruclips.net/video/6oqeVLILGHY/видео.html&si=CVwA8qe_hZHGHkOk only half a million and no mold.
Which diference with the press mold??
could i have a new e type please ,, and a spitfire.
it is possible for large scale statue ?
Genial. Next Generation System metal forming
So kind of like a 3d printer for metal sheets? Interesting.
No 3d printing is like adding material.
This is forming a blank with the help of a ball end tool and cnc code.
If anything, this is more like vacuum forming, without a vacuum

@@markdoldon8852 yaa but this is surely a solution for Prototypes and low volume special parts.
One part per sheet?
Depends on the parts, i suppose. It would form whatever the underlying tool and CNC code asks for, which could be one large part or several smaller nested parts.
What is the material of the tool?
One of the usage is to use to build boats.

Its for prototype parts, not production.

A teaser since no one explains any of it.

This is not to show us,poor hobbyst that use hammer and dolly to criate a special shape,not costy equipments !
Check more information and contact in this page: bit.ly/2tBvlSG
CNC hammering.
90 minutes for one
Alot of waste for that little of a part
Shit !!!
hammer and dolly, English wheel etc or stamp it, none of this computer expensive time waste stuff
