3D scanning is really the technology that should get more attention because metal 3d printing is expensive and printing in plastic has very few use cases. You can give dimensions down to the millimeter and 3D print the part in plastic so people know exactly what you want. I guess 3D scanning and printing is mostly for car manufacturers so they can easily improve parts
There are a few problems with what these guys are doing or promoting. To make a part by scanning and printing is one thing and it can be done pretty easily. BUT... And it's a big 'but' the material that is used in making 3D parts is generally not designed for performance or let's say use under required conditions. This vent that is the focus of this video is exposed to moisture, wind forces and the biggest killer to plastics, UV light. 3D parts are made layer by layer UV cured plastic is melted in thin layers to form the part. Manufactured injection mounded parts are made with formulated plastic ratios in ABS plastic or PE and injected at high temperatures and pressures to promote part stability or deformation. These 3D parts have a long way to go and no company will guarantee performance in specified conditions. I've worked with these parts in car design modeling for years and whilst the process and technology has improved, the parts are not designed or intended for practical use.
3D printing has improved quite a bit since this vid came out in both plastic/polymers and metal. Now you can print a pat out in almost any metal then just minor machining is needed, aerospace is using it and it is saving weeks and money in development and production costs. Jay could build a car completely from 3D printed tooling and parts.

what scanner do 3d systems use.
+Lonewolfoperations It was a FARO ScanArm HD in the video
@@laserscanman yeah, and it costs 50k
Hey

I smell money....I taste money....I SEE MONEY 🤤🤤🤤🤤
the scanner costs 50k

AutoClay Look how far the stability & structural integrity of these parts has increased...All within the last Year...
