This 3D Printer Builds Full-Color Paper Models!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Traditional desktop 3D printers use melted plastic as their build material, but Mcor's printers layer sheets of paper on top of each other to create their models. We check out the new Mcor Arke, a printer that cuts from a large spool of paper, glues those sheets together, and then prints color on them to turn digital files into large paper models!

Thanks for watching!
I love how he “tasked his engineers to develop a paper system which will never fail” and then goes on to explain this paper with holes in the edge...... the same I was running through my dot matrix printer 20 years ago!
He also said $9k and it's going for $23k
Speaking as someone who has used a dot matrix a time or two in their lives, they are far from foolproof.
just be glad this printer doesn't make that god awful screeching that the old dot matrix printers used to make.
@@AustinStanley1 Yeah, "never fail" is far from reality. I can still remember clearing jams from the dot matrix printer because it decided to eat my homework.
Also "off the shelf paper" is a bit misleading. I doubt you can go to your local Office Depot or on Amazon and just find shelves of this stuff for sale. It dosen't even look like the paper used in dot matrix printers, no folds. I don't know, maybe you can find it in the big industrial label/bill-of-lading printers?
@@mrmaigo I've also seen $18,800 and $6,000 quoted as the price. With the "consumables kit" going for ~$750.
And at 0:30 it looks like they are saying the machine is $6,000.
This is one of the most interesting 3D printers that I've seen, refreshing to see something that is more artistic than practical.
weirdly if it wasnt for the pricepoint, it was probably one of the most practical solutions to large scale 3d printing with speed.
"wood that gets turned into paper then gets glued together an painted to look like a piece of wood"
lol
LOL yeah, that was a dumb example, but for more complex models it's pretty neat. Can't deny that. Paper pulp can be made out of a lot of materials other than wood, anything plant based, cellulose based will do. Think corn husks.
That scene of wood turned to paper then turned to wood again- to then make a toothpick is depicted in 'Bugs Bunny's Lunar Tunes' (December 02, 1994 VHS release, or about 6:06 mins in on Dailymotion). During Bugs trial, Marvin asserts that Earthlings create pollution, clutter up outer space, and portray space people as monsters. Bugs must show enough evidence to save the earth from Marvin's missile.
Agreed. What a wasteful society we are....just to entertain ourselves....!
WHY NOT JUST MAKE THE HAMMER OUT OF GOOD OLD, ALL NATURAL WOOD? WE GET CRAZIER EVERY DAY. LOL.
Needs to get out more....!
Holy shit... this is 6 years old? How come I have only just discovered this now? This is amazing tech!
"How big is the print volume?" "Yeah, look at this big progress bar! Also it comes in brushed metal and black surface finishes."
ADD kid, He stated 5 liters
5 liters as stated in the video.
That price point is very reasonable when taking in account the how cutting edge it is and the fact it's the only full color 3D printer
+Jonathon Neighbors nope we had full color powder deposition printers already objet printers have been doing it for years now
+Jonathon Neighbors There are plenty more full color 3d printers out there (look at Zcorp/Projet printers and the Connex)- this is the only desktop sized one
+Ben True, but compared to those others, this one seems simpler and more affordable, but doesn't offer some of the same functionality
+Jonathon Neighbors It's not the only full color 3d printer, there are many. But it is probably the cheapest, to buy and to use.
+Jonathon Neighbors It's not the only full color 3D printer. It's the only full color DESKTOP printer. Stratasys has some very nice full color resin printers. Go check out the Connex 3 series. They are amazing, but they also cost more serious $$$$. Like a nice house $$$$.
At 3:48, the model is the same as the lady that's behind them at 8:20. It must be his wife or something.
+MangoTangoFox
Nice spot.
+MangoTangoFox She looks irish.
+EinkOLED ... Irishist!
+MangoTangoFox I only see the printed model, where are you guys seeing the real her?
+Angel Luis Trinidad to the left behind the dude. she's wearing sunglasses on her head and is looking mildly bored.
"we're targeting universities...cause they have a shit ton of money"
#studentloansforlife
+Jerry Joe Yes? That seems like a perfectly reasonable business strategy.
+Jerry Joe Universities have a shitton of money (in the USA at least) because they charge the students so much.
Universities that are primarily financed through the state, such as in Germany, have a smaller budget but also don't waste as much on aesthetics such as marble stairs. I'm pretty sure that 9k USD is still fairly affordable to a university if they decide that they need such a machine.
+Steamrick Honestly: Even as a normal business 9000 Dollars is not that much IF you actually have a proper use for a technology like this.
+RaketenKuhGewehr Exactly. We have spent a lot more on our large format plotters for the architectural firm I work at.
Swarm509
Though large format plotters are also something specialized that a university would have no more than one of if they have one at all...
Finally! Something to do with those sprocket-feed paper rolls from my 1982 dot-matrix printer.
LOL thats what i was thinking. i like that he acts like its "new" ROFL
@@raunchyNO .... They didn't say it's new. They said "it's the same technology as receipt printers" which are dot matrix printers.
@@PixlRainbow i didn't say he said it was new. He was kinda acting like it was new in that size. Like he found something and reinvented it. Kinda like all apple products. "New"........ LOL
Pixl Rainbow s lots of them are actual thermal.
This is actually the most innovative 3D printing advancement i've seen in a long time. His point about treating the final product as a scaffold, which can be treated in any number of ways to produce a variety of final results is really interesting.
Not the final product but as it is being printed.
Wow that's amazing. It looks really detailed for a 3d printer.
The greatest feature is the Kit light on the front
They should have added voice command to the printer! :V
JC Fennec Yes, and reporting your address.
9 minute video, and they never explain how it works. Nice going.
+tbird81 Haha, yeah, I noticed that as well! Not so smooth.
+tbird81 The problem is that the only part that's readily accessible is the print and glue part on top of the machine. The actual cutting is somewhere inside the machine where we can't see.
I only hear "blah blah blah blah blah rolls of paper blah blah blah blah ink blah blah, $8999 dollars" XD
didn't mention... that you have to call them out for maintenance after warranty. Subs?
and wouldn't give mm xyz print volume - just 5 liters, so 250x200x100? not big... my ender3 is bigger (speshly now it's got double Y ;o)
184 x 168 x 125 - off their current brochure. I can Hire someone to paint for 9 grands
No Big Objects. ever. - they should Open their technology, it's costing them Way too much to dev - they need us to mend it for them.
at least open the machine and let us buy a headset it's the Perfect use-case for core XY top-down, with a Sheet material feed omg.. ideal.
Giving them indefinite stable height, probably better everything. They step this box up to metre scale 500x500x300? and at 10 grand I'd eat them for 1t.
cos as an open rig, we can use and Edge in any material... ... it could print Laminated Aliminium, in full colour (yawn)
Just watched... sounds like the printer has a base layer of paper, cuts it as needed, applies glue, feeds just enough paper to cover the next layers area (to reduce waste), I assume it presses somehow at this point, applies ink, applies glue, ad nauseum until it is complete.
when u watch the whole vid waiting to see a demonstration and it never happens...
Thank you for the heads up and not having me stay and wait for nothing
Anybody who's ever worked with a photocopies knows that paper jams are THE WORST.
Well that's why they use paper roll now: less likely to jam.
Holy crap, that's awesome !
So glad I didn't just ignore this edition of tested like I usually do with all those drones and VR headsets they usually promote.
The paper and the roller system is from a 1978 dot matrix printer.
Fascinating, this is almost an automated version of the process I use to prototype enclosures.
I wonder how far Irish Jeff Bezos's printer has come today
The resin impregnation idea to get diffrent material properties seems really cool.
I really miss the "Guess The Mystery Object" series guys..

I miss it also cause it was a reason to check back on often. Now its maybe a few months I check in on this channel.
It has been a few years, I wonder what advancements have been made with this technology.
he did alot of work to avoid saying "it's 9 thousand dollars"
@Angelo Stevens is that true or are you making a joke?
oh they remodeled it... its way more than that now. in the 5 digits range.
@@iknowsomething Holy SHIT, did he enhance it or is it the same?
9K is under priced if you consider the tech and R&D went into it. Try building it for USD5K and sell it for 9K, you would quickly find yourself insolvent.
"And it's eight nine nine five. Dollars." Who speaks like that lol.
I love how you make the marketing guys sweat because how deep you go into knowledgeable detail of what ever product they are hyping but you make us still marvel all the more for the end result of said product.
Nobody:
MCor: Here's a $9000 3D printer that prints in paper! Now you can make creepy dolls!
its actually a 20k machine currently. this was the old model.
4:45 - Ah, yes... all us old timers who've had experience with tractor feed printers know, "...it's a never fail." Yep, never fail, yeah, that's the ticket. Never fail! Hey, since it's Dr. Evil telling us this, it MUST be true!
Yeah, you are getting old, really old. This is not the past, even back in the day 4800 LPM printers rarely had jams. He did explain the progress leds that turn from green to amber to red as so...

@@saulg195 That was the joke, my m8. Paper soaks up that "glue" pretty fast, it will stink in less than a week.
Wow! This thing is super amazing! You can print large protein models! And it being biodegradable...that's a definitely win!
lol yeah a system that never fails....how many people has been in line at a store and the paper jams..then the cashier spends the next 30mins to an hour fixing it..lol
Not any more, I think you haven't been shopping for a while.
Worked retail for a year, never seen it be more than a 10 second fix, and even then, running out of paper happens 10x more often than jams occur
Excellent interview. I can see this being extremely useful and a relatively cheap investment to prop makers in film/TV especially in remote filming locations.
"Eight nine nine five dollars"
wow its only $31 guys lets all get one
Good to see tractor feed paper making a comeback!
The intro should have been "Hey everybody, Norm from tested.com. I'm here with store brand Jeff Bezos..."
i work in foam fabrication, and decades ago someone had a similar machine. would cut thin sheets of foam with water, then glue them together in layers. great technology. i imagine this company has a great perceved environmental profile. printer may be a bit more expensive and higher end, but papaer! you can get that anywhere!
That's no 3D printer! It's a CYLON! Don't be fooled! They have a plan!

If you want to have 3d printing with full, saturated colors like you dream of then you probably would have to look at "Polyjet" technology by a company named "Stratasys" with a printer named "connex3" or the other ones they make you need now apparently. There's been this yearly "TCT" 3D printing show in Birmingham again fro 26-28 september so maybe there's a new best in the field of 3d full color printing. An older alternative is the "3D Systems Zcorp 650 (Projet 660)" gypsum based full colour 3D printer but apparently print costs are high up to 100$ per print. And the post-processing is intensive. Both of these printers cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Aside from maintenance and print costs. So they aren't really a feasible option for most of the people looking into it. For multicolor 3D printing for individuals and hobbyists there are new options now. Last year Mcor released their paper based thus quite inexpensive to run "Arke" printer for 6500$. And now we have this PLA based " "XYZ da Vinci Color" printer for about 4200$. The quality of color and printing of both this "XYZ da Vinci Color" and the "Mcor Arke" is similar and leave a lot to be desired. Especially when compared to the (albeit very expensive) Polyjet and Gypsum 3D color printing solutions. This product again cuts the cost and improves the accessibility of full color 3D printing. But like you said. The quality is obviously still not where it needs to be. And those who adopt these products will be inevitably footing the bil of technologies in development. But there are also perks to doing that of course. I dream of the day we can get Polyjet quality full colour 3D prints from a desktop printer for low print cost. But that'll probably take a decade if not longer to happen. But I believe it can. It will likely take 2D printer industry giants like Canon, HP, Brother and associates probably to get there. Not too long ago 3D printing for individuals as a concept was alien and hardly imaginable. As were mobile phones. Surely we should be able to get there sooner or later. I think the printing industry giants are held back from 3D printing by the copyright and associated big business interests of their boards, shareholders,nig business. When you can't sell replacement parts or figurines to people anymore. When people just scan, share and 3D print them instead of paying their companies I guess they'll lose a lot of business. 3D printing is a very disruptive technology for many markets I reckon. That's why perhaps they wait. Otherwise it's really quite incomprehensible why major industry giants are letting all these small companies fill the void of 3D printing innovation and sales.
But that must be a lot of waste material. What happens to the rest of the paper?
+Adam Bolton They use it to print toilet paper, so nothing gets wasted :-P
Recycling?
TheBenCrazy Recycling is all well and good, but getting the most out of a roll of paper would be far more practical.
+Adam Bolton just before the 6 minute mark he does mention a adaptive build feature, that means it can scale up or down the print table which is only possible with paper roll.
+Adam Bolton Reducing wasted paper is one of the reasons he mentioned for going from sheet paper (like in a regular printer) to a paper roll. Well, the primary reason was reliability, but reducing waste was also mentioned.
Very cool concept. I wish I could afford one for myself.
so is that paper roll proprietary or can I get it at office max. I don't think I've seen anything like that since I use to tear the hole margins off at my dad's office in the 90s.
+graefx I don't know about the specific paper they use here, but I've worked with plotters that used a similar system. The rolls were a lot wider though.
Stangil1
That's my impression as well
+S Oportar But can you feed a piece of paper into your $40 printer 2 times in a row and get perfect registration? I don't think so. I've never been able to get more than 0.5mm registration accuracy on even the most expensive Epson inkjet-printers.
they are standard punch rolls. But I bet they won't tell you that xx expect them to supply you everything.
lots of behavioural discomfort from the rep - they know they are behind the market in a Lot of ways. Even with this interesting machine.

I'm wondering what the cost of materials, ie Ink, Glue, and Paper. compared to abs or pla printing. The speed would be nice to know as well.

Much better than extruded plastic. Brilliant idea!
Don't get me wrong I'm intrigued about the concept but I have to laugh at how he describes the paper feed system. It's not new or revolutionary it's a dot matrix printer. I printed my homework on that back in grade school in the 90s.
he said that it was exactly the same as those... it's revolutionary compared to the previous printers
Stunning! Revolutionary technology; my mouth was hanging open!
I feel like printing a model of a tree would really complete this project.

You think this printer is expensive?
What about your schools science/electronics department that has 10/20 osciloscopes?
Those are expensive, and getting them calibrated ever so often, yeah that cost money too.
9000$ for this level of quality isn't bad.
As cool as this looks, it seems like a massive waste of paper.
They waste compared with plastic is no factor. How much paper have you thrown into the bin this week in the office? Papier is dirt cheap for a reason. (And it is recyclable)
Finally I have a use for all my dot-matrix printing paper I've never used :p
That is so bizarre,....?
But yeah,... How does the damn thing work.
Richmo 6 If I’m not mistaken it lays an outline of glue, sticks some paper, cuts the excess paper away. Or are you asking a more complex question?
the price is actually not bad, but i bet the proprietary paper and ink gonna be costly. The last time i saw that type of paper is 1995.
yeah to good to be true they discontinued this and sell new one that is much more expensive

+Anna E
He would be wrong either way, I'm pretty sure the official price is $5995.00 which is nuts considering these things used to cost over $60,000.00 not that long ago and didn't have half the feature, but were just bigger.
+Anna E Because it cant be confused with 80.000 like it easy can is when you say eight thousand. Especially if your native language isn't english.
Same reason military, flight controls etc always use it. You cant misunderstand eight nine nine five.
+Anna E
I thought he just didn't want to say the price.
+Raydeus It's 5995.00 Pounds and $8995.
+Anna E becuse he would have said "ate towsand, nouyn handred und nouynty fyve dollars"
The roll didn't look like it has holes then the paper you see above it does. Is it punching its own holes as it goes?
Also... Is it printing on the bottom side too to color overhangs?
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?!?! How many stacks of paper did they use to print that shoe? How many trees did it take? I guarantee that those inks are not environmentally friendly!
Think about how much can be recycled though. Recycling one ton of copy/printer paper saves two tons of wood. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_recycling#Rationale_for_recycling
Not to mention, if you had a printer like this that used standard sheets of paper (without the alignment holes) you could just take used paper before it's recycled to make your prints.
We have 2 of their 3D printers at my school for architecture it's neat to see your revit home designs printed in 3D
The Chinese fake stuff makers will love this.
that is absolutely awesome!
uses paper and environment friendly?
More environmentally friendly than plastic.
Leon not more friendly than PLA. The most common material for desktop printers. Its a bio polymer from stuff like like corn starch
@@Gardehesten Paper still decomposes faster.
There are many other factors than decomposition time. It's mostly a systemic question. If the material is biodegradable, it doesnt really matter as long as in the end it becomes dirt. I agree wood is a good example, If you take care of it, it will last you thousands of years, but if it's placed in a moist, fungus rich environment it decompose quickly. Important things to remember is first the time that tree takes to grow to size, secondly the environmental impact in the area of that tree. Wild animals losing their habitat, amount of trees cut in the same area, the tools used for cutting, the liters of diesel consumed by machinery etc. The extraction of the raw material and the chemical processes involved in bleaching, energy required in all processes combined, logistics... it goes on. Recycled paper on the other hand, is a very nice approach. If these guys can use a 75% recycled pulp for instance I will readjust my skeptisism. And we don't know the type of ink and glue used in the machine. Not the resin for rubberising or hardening of the model either. That type of process most likely contaminates the paper so much it can not be recycled.
@@Gardehesten The exact same can be said about filament.
Reminds me of an old dot matrix printer with that paper spool.
what no demo! Maybe it doesn't really work the way he's telling you it works . Can anyone say Con artist lol
CON ARTIST
Lmao, dude giving the demo at 4:50 makes it sound like they invented the dot matrix feed system!
The dude literally said "it's the same technology as receipt printers" which are dot matrix printers
@@PixlRainbow receipt printers are NOT dot matrix printers.
Those are some beautiful prints.
Your camera continuously refocusing for no reason is driving me to drink.
Many comments saying people don't understand how it works. It's simple.
It prints the image slice on the paper as it rolls through then it cuts each image slice out so the first image is the bottom, until you get to the last one which is the top. The separate slices may be heated or glued?
3D photos. Cool!
It is the Mcor's paper based, high resolution. eco-friendly 3D printer using LOM andSDL technologies as I see in another LOM video.
'Environmentally friendly'
*Uses 10,000 sheets of paper for naked lady statue*
Paper is recyclable, biodegradable and renewable. Tons and tons of paper is recycled every day. There are regulations that required recycled paper be added to products both commercial and post consumer waste. Plastic OTOH is a much bigger mainly petroleum product of which only a small percent is recyclable and is not biodegradable nor renewable.
thats actually pretty cool
I finally have something to do with all that dot-matrix printer paper I've been hoarding ;-P
Oh yes cant wait to fill my house with these flammable pieces of art. Let's put them everywhere.
