BRO! I print a ton of tooling for sheet metal and castings but your little dual-barrel hinge thing is sooooo clean!! I'm totally stealing it. thanks man. I owe you one. Thanks for teaching me.
That rotary tool when you’re looking at was developed a Curtiss Wright aircraft manufacturing before world war two it’s even documented in some of their shop manuals you kids just have to start reading history books more!!!
Dad: "Are you winning son?" Stuff Made Here: "Define winning" Dad: "Did you accomplish what you set out to do?" Stuff Made Here: "Yes" Dad: "Wait...why did you make me define it?" Stuff Made Here: "Because the raw material cost greatly exceeded the cost of the part, not to mention the sweat equity" Dad: "All I want is what is best for you, I love you son" Wow, that ended differently than I thought it would, and I'm the one who wrote it.
I think it's totally awesome. And that this young man is so very brilliant. I am so jealous of his talent. Yea you may not go to this much trouble and cost to make a 2 dollar part for a 40 dollar tool. But....there are always those unobtainable parts at any price.so being able to produce one yourself is priceless..
Massive THANK YOU!!! you have opened my eyes to completely new world of options and ideas. You have five very clear explanation and clear knowhow transfer . Again, MASSIVE THANK YOU.
That's genius for you. Someone who not only understands what he's doing but also has the communicative skills and empathy to understand how to convey and explain these things to another person. A lot of smart people lack the social skills to understand how to explain their ideas at a level others can follow. And end up rambling about specifics without having properly conveyed core principles. Understanding an audience you're talking to. To be able to give them a why, how that actually captures them, which they can follow. He would be a great teacher. But we need this guy in other fields. He can make educational video's, do projects for himselglf and business and probably achieve more than teaching in academics. Being part of a college research lab wouldn't be bad though maybe.
For highly complex parts, you should consider creating (I forget the technical name) holes in the bottom of the dye that can be used to push the part off the dye, like whats used in plastic injection molds. Youd have to add another part to the dye to plug the holes for the release pegs, but I think it would save alot of time removing parts from the dye. Really cool work!
Where did you come from man? The topics you cover are super interesting (I'm a 4th year mech Eng student) and your videos are also high quality - reminds me of Ben Eater in some ways! Great work. :)
When you're cutting them out, start the plasma arc in the middle of the waste material and then move to the cut line. That should give you a cleaner cut.
@@movax20h I still think GrimResistance is right, look at the cuts, he starts and ends them on the edge of the part on the same spot. Offcourse its going to leave a rough spot on the start and endpoint, he could atleast solve that problem by changing settings i think.
@@mick0matic yes you are right, one should start from inside of the waste material, far from final edge. But you can see that the main issue is power level and speed, because even whole edges and holes that had constant feed, had these issues, not just the starting point.
@@movax20h Yes thats true, i only mentioned it so it can atleast be a bit better than what it was before, still its not perfect. Gotta use the tools you have to make the best out of the situation right :P
@@mick0matic It's also recommended that the cuts be staggered on large cut to blank ratios like this because of the heat-warping. It can help reduce the warping by displacing the heat more evenly. Which may make it sit in the tooling better, resulting in a better finished product.
"I think using 3D printers for this is a good idea because everyone can buy a 3D printer these days." Also uses a plasma cutter to cut the steels parts.
I've worked for almost 7 years in sheet metal manufacturing. I find it impressive how close to actual tools and methods you are getting with what I assume is no or limited prior knowledge of sheet metal. Your rotary benders are extremely close to commercially available ones.
I've watched enought of your videos to get sheet metal company advertismenst... Such fools, why would I need such service, after aquiring the knowledge you convey
As someone who works as a Tool and Die Maker this is very inpresive when it comes to how fast you picked up and corrected your mistakes ! Good Job! And maybe see if you can get some Ejectors of some sort :)
I found part 1 and 2 of this series fascinating! I have a 3D printer and have really enjoyed learning how to design things in CAD and then print out stuff that's useful I can use around the house or in my car. Once again, excellent content; you earned a new subscriber.
The double hinge approach is genius and very satisfying to watch! And I do agree that beeing able to print the tooling instead of maschining it is a lot more accesable. Although I doubt that a lot of people own a 3d Printer and a cnc plasma cutter. But I guess that could either be outsourced or exchanged by an alternative method. Maybe their is a way to stamp the desired form out of the sheet metal?
Really liked the video. You could consider adding 'rejection pins' just like a injection molding machine has. I mean to add holes in tho bottom mold, so you could put pins trough and eject the part. Geep up the good work!
These videos are some of the highest quality, most in-depth, and most watchable engineering videos on RUclips. You cannot change my mind. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE YEARS? Keep em coming!
normally for bent parts you want to anneal them in an oven afterwards, to remove residual stresses when entering the plasticity zone. The annealing process (temperature, timing, and cooling ramping) would depends on the material you have bent. If you don't anneal them, depending how they are loaded in service, they can fail early in fatigue.
What resin are you using for the molds? =) Glad to see someone trying some fun stuff out with 3d printing compared to the figurines =) experimenting with plastic injection with 3d printed molds myself .. tho need to build the injector (hot glue injection atm) :P
These two pressing videos are he first two vides i watch from your channel. Very interesting and entertaining. I work as a design engineer and designs productions machines towards the med-tech industry so designing and produce parts is my day job. The funny thing with your iterations it that they follow my mind exactly, When you do each test and get the result, my mind goes, hmm, maybe i should have tried to do this instead, and the next step is you doing exactly that, the same idea that i had. One idea that would be fun to see you try is to shape the edge at the samt time. So you get fillets all round the edges and an more rigid/stable part. By doing so you can make a recess that you fit the plate in to align it, then when you press it goes down into the form, forms the metals with rounded edges and it should be no problems to remove it. You might also be able to combine it with the rolling molds to make sharp 90° edges all around at once, That would be really impressive. Keep up with vids, I love them, The deeper and nerdier, the better :)
Really like your videos Glad I subscribed. If you were trying to make a lot of those parts the only thing I would try is maybe some spring-loaded push pins in the bottom of your form tool to evenly push the part off of the form tool when you released the pressure of the hydraulic. But that would be a lot of work to make that for only a few parts
When I used to work in a factory while going to college, forms were often two steps. However the way they got around that was to have two parts pressed at a time. The result is that you’re getting one part per press. The complex dies often had a mechanism that “ejected” the part by pushing the part up from the bottom, which helped when transferring part one to part two in the die set. Even complicated dies involve multiple steps. If you’re mass producing, at a minimum you want one part per press. Good video!
You could add some through holes to the die for ejection pins to pop the part off instead of trying to pry it off. You would need to make the overall size of the die larger than the part so you had something to rest the die on when pressing it out. You could get really fancy and make them spring loaded so the part ejected after releasing pressure form the press. Edit: I noticed after posting this that several other had the same idea. lol
I hadn't thought of using air channels. Good idea. Given that the parts are 3D printed it should be easy to incorporate several channels that lead to a single air gun blast hole to eject the part. Will try that on future tools!
Try Ready technology.com if you want to learn more about those rotary bending tools they have been out since before World War II the Curtis right aircraft company in New York has it listed in some of their shop manuals.
I like what you are doing. I'm a die designer and my work never let me try experimenting with plastic printed parts. On the second die you need a stripper around the punches that are forming the flanges. A stripper holds the part firmly in place before forming is done and holds the part down while the punches are being withdrawn from the part. Keep up the good work!
My professor told me spring membranes are formed like this in production. Nice to see some video similar to it. I had initial doubts about the soft plastic forming the much harder steel
This is great stuff, and great video that's super informative. Really clever ideas, thanks for sharing Did you ever think of drilling a couple holes into your mold. You could reinforce them with metal tubing. At the end of the tubing on the outside, you could attach an air quick-connect. When the part is fresh off the press you could attach an air hose and run some air through it. They use that process to produce all kinds of products right now. It just might work for your stuff. Hey, just a thought, and thanks again.
Not quite, parametric design is by definition reliant on parameters to define components of the design. If you use parameters throughout all of your designs, updating the parameter in a single place will update the rest of the designs that also use that parameter. With adaptive design, you define relationships between parts or assemblies so that if you make changes upstream, the linked parts downstream get updated as well. Similar, but distinctly different concepts. I'm guessing he's using Inventor for design, which is the only design software I know of that uses adaptive modeling.
Would you ever consider making a custom 54mm precision basket like the IMS or VST basket but for your breville espresso machine? I was thinking you could use a die/press arrangement to form steel into the proper cup shape, and then laser cut out all the little holes. Might be interesting
Nice project. The benders are called ready benders. I wonder if you could have a small step between the filet and the knife to relieve the pressure so that extraction is possible.
Are you aware that some company (sry, dont remember it anymore) is advertising an online course for 3D Printed Bending Tools with your Thumbnail/some other front shot of the rotating tool as the picture? Saw it on instagram.
I don't want to work anymore. I also want to do what I love to do in my life. Can you please build a humanoid robot which can replace us and the job we hate to do in our lives? I need universal basic income. Please!
you designed a press tool with no space for the material.???!! oh well at least you got it right the second time. good video. i will be making some of these tools soon.
I'm very impressed with this series. I don't have access to a resin printer but it's interesting to see the design process in action. I'm wondering if you could leave your stock oversize (on the last part) and then trim it after pressing.
Most things I do usually have a substantial design process so I'm glad you like it :) The technique of leaving stock oversize is actually how this type of process is often done in mass production. If you search for videos of "progressive die stamping" you can see how they use that technique to pump out parts at an insanely efficient rate.
Im a deep draw and metal stamping engineer who started as a tool and die maker. Your killing it buddy message me if you need any help your very close my friend!
Sweet dang, son. Your engineering is as impressive as your troubleshooting, your teaching and your humanity. I do hope you have a good life insurance policy so that your wife has some compensation when the scientists come kidnap you to study you in a lab. Til then, stay legend. ✌️
Haha I get cut... a lot. I try not to but nothing seems to work. Then when I'm editing the video I'm cringing at all the bandages. Glad you get a kick out of it :)
You need a three-piece dye to make that last part you're making you have your top light the next plate would be the plate with your holes inwere you set the part on top of in the bottom plate should be your punches springs between your punch plate and middle die and
When you say it worked much better then expected I hear Ben from applied science Awesome videos keep up the good work I’m gonna try this process with al
I am so glad I saw your channel if I am to be honest I kept on seeing your basket ball hoop and ignored it. However I found these videos and am glad I saw this. Very cool stuff.
New subscriber!!!! Awesome content. My mind is currently exploding with inspiration!! I have a 3D printer(X1) and have printed Nylon composite 6 blended with 66. Question: Would nylon be strong enough to press sheet steel the same gauge as this upload?
Try a step in the draft so the inner edges do not end on plastic. Also the outer bend-out might be fixed with some simple pattern on the outside. kinda like a recess. Think > How would this sit in the end device < Luv the channel = Instant sub btw, I don't know why u haven't just printed "guide pin holes" for the whole apparatus. Which would also include the press metal bar as well ... Guess I gotta watch more to see. Where did you find this idea to press bend with 3DP ?
The formed edges of the holes have a springback effect, that is what makes it hard to remove the part from the form. The step/recess in the form should accommodate the springback.
The last model is good but i think you overthink this :) When pressing the Radius for a sheet, the press length should not exceed the Radius of the pressing :)
In the same way as the difference between static and dynamic friction, is there a difference in resistant to bending force when beginning to bend versus continuing to bend?
howdy, any chance you could share the 3d printed file (stl or some such) so we could mess with the actual part you used :-). thanks much for the vid, really cool use of the printer. . . .John

You need a three-piece dye to make that last part you're making you have your top light the next plate would be the plate with your holes inwere you set the part on top of in the bottom plate should be your punches springs between your punch plate and middle die and
Which Material did you use to print the molds?
Please answer, I'm interested too
When you say it worked much better then expected
I hear Ben from applied science
Awesome videos keep up the good work I’m gonna try this process with al
I am so glad I saw your channel if I am to be honest I kept on seeing your basket ball hoop and ignored it. However I found these videos and am glad I saw this. Very cool stuff.
This is absolutely amazing! Wish I had seen this while I still had access to a school waterjet and 3d printers. :(
daniel mcdonald I miss my schools laser cutter so much. I have a 3D printer, but the laser cutter is better in so many ways.
I never wouldave thought SLA printed parts are strong enough to form steel, i always figured the resin was too brittle.
Depends on the material and print settings, I guess. There are plenty of of different materials to choose from.
New subscriber!!!!
Awesome content.
My mind is currently exploding with inspiration!!
I have a 3D printer(X1) and have printed Nylon composite 6 blended with 66.
Question: Would nylon be strong enough to press sheet steel the same gauge as this upload?
what kind of filament are you using to make your tools?
Try a step in the draft so the inner edges do not end on plastic. Also the outer bend-out might be fixed with some simple pattern on the outside. kinda like a recess. Think > How would this sit in the end device < Luv the channel = Instant sub btw, I don't know why u haven't just printed "guide pin holes" for the whole apparatus. Which would also include the press metal bar as well ... Guess I gotta watch more to see. Where did you find this idea to press bend with 3DP ?
The formed edges of the holes have a springback effect, that is what makes it hard to remove the part from the form. The step/recess in the form should accommodate the springback.
The last model is good but i think you overthink this :)
When pressing the Radius for a sheet, the press length should not exceed the Radius of the pressing :)
"I thought I designed them right. That's usually the case."
Yes, most people are not in the business of designing things wrong on purpose...
This is pretty amazing, and will revolutionize stamping technology
If not revolutionize, it should at least decentralize.
@@ColburnFreml yes good point
Think of using injector pins as used in injection molding to get your parts out of your tools.
Great result, man.
Try to lay a sheet of rubber so that the part itself POPs out.
Very interesting.. You've got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
2:01 “en-widened” I will allow it! :)
In the same way as the difference between static and dynamic friction, is there a difference in resistant to bending force when beginning to bend versus continuing to bend?
Your hands look like you've been fighting.
howdy, any chance you could share the 3d printed file (stl or some such) so we could mess with the actual part you used :-).
thanks much for the vid, really cool use of the printer. . . .John
put some flanges or radius on the perimeter that will fix the issue.
Thanks for another excellent of demonstration of using 3d printed parts to form dies. Lots of great ideas to take away.
Wtf. Now I have to order a press haha
You trying to pry out that part with you non-existent nails gave me anxiety.
:D
Chào bạn buổi sáng chúc một ngày tốt đẹp 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖
