Despite what the media says, there has been no time in human history where so few people have been effected by crime, war, and poverty world wide. We are currently living in an unprecedented golden age. Seriously, more people die in car accidents each year then in all the wars and conflicts going on right now by hundreds of thousands. in 2016 the estimated body count of all wars that year was 87,432. World wide 1.25 million people die each year in car accidents and a further 20 to 50 million are injured. Then consider that ONLY 87,432 people died due to war out of 8 Billion people. Less then a percent of our global population is directly effected by war. Crime has been on the down trend globally for 20 years and in the US is lower then it has been since the 1960s. In 1990 36% of the world lived on less then $1.90 a day, as of 2015 that is down to 10%. 1.1 billion people, an eighth of the world's population has risen out of extreme poverty. Down from 70% in 1900, which itself was down from the world bank's first estimate in 1820 which was 84%. Humans are programmed to look for threats in our environment and the media inherently uses that basic instinct to gain viewership. Take that into account when you worry about our "destructive behavior". The danger is real, but not likely.

I came here after the Relativity Space launch on March 22, 2023. It is a successful proof of concept of this 3D printing approach. The launch put a lot of debates to rest.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) that is true but Elon is always looking for ways to increase productivity and decrease costs of production and this is what relativity is essentially doing!
SpaceX already 3D print a lot of components for their rocket engines. They also make some of the most advanced engines currently available and make them much faster than this so I'm guessing this looks like nothing more than an interesting tech demo to them.
@@mr.nicolas4367 My argument is, it's already being done, better by other companies. There is nothing world leading or even clever about this approach and additive fabrication is not the best approach either for many parts of an engine due to limitations on materials and inherent properties of printed metals.
The 2020's are going to be a great year for space, rockets, and colonization. I'm ready and hope its going to work out well. I posted this a year ago, it didn’t age well
I wouldn't bet on it. There may be a few flights to the moon and back and maybe an orbital flight to Mars, but colonization won't happen. They have a hard enough time keeping everything running properly in the ISS which is in low Earth orbit. Any problem and they can return to Earth within hours. Any problem to or from or on Mars and they are doomed, as it would take months or even years to return. A problem like Apollo 13 on the way to Mars would have meant death for the astronauts.
My3dviews NASA is going to the moon in the next 5 years. They’ve already officially said that. I’m surprised it didn’t make more headlines TBH. I think they’re trying to stay as well(at least for a little bit) to test things for going to mars.
@@-Burb Sure, going to the moon is doable, as it has been done several times already during Apollo. But going to Mars is exponentially more difficult. The moon is in Earth orbit. Mars is in its own orbit around the Sun and only aligns with Earth once every two years. Even landing unmanned probes has had only limited success. Several spacecraft have been lost, many burning up when entering the atmosphere. But, getting there is the relatively easy part. Nothing has ever returned from Mars. Not even a simple probe with a sample of the surface. That should have been done long ago. Making a jump from only sending one way unmanned probes to manned flights that need a method of returning is a huge jump in technology that isn't available yet. You need to land a lander with the ability to return to Mars' orbit. Then join up with a return vehicle that can get out of Mars' orbit and get back to Earth's orbit all on schedule. Missing the return window, means staying another two years. What does NASA have to go to the moon? Just a capsule that is similar but larger than the command module of Apollo. They still have no lander. Going to Mars in that capsule would be ridiculous. It's one thing to do a week or two trip in it with four people, but doing a multi-year trip in it, won't happen. They would need something like the ISS to live in for that period of time, not a small capsule.
_"an internal configuration could take up to three thousand parts, when we can make them not only in three parts, but print those only in nine days"_ NOW THAT is something!
I love that they named it Stargate and put a giant Protoss symbol on the wall of the room 0:12 For those that don't know, in Starcraft a stargate is a Protoss building that produces flying units (space ships)
As an engineer with some basic Metallurgy and die cast courses I have to say.. 3D printing anything with demands on strength will never take off. The problem with extusion/die cast/sintering are all the same since you heat materials and much much worse with metal printing since you are basically welding every layer. You get huge warm/cold differences in the material not to mention the volume difference of hot and cold materials. As such every 3D print made; would basically have to be put in an oven at around 800-1200C to undergo de-tension hardening and even at that you would get unsatisfying metal cristalization = weaker material and un-homogen micro structure.
That is why your pessimistic understanding is as you put it basic, and why you should give some credit to science, scientists and those being optimistic. Metallurgy is far easier than electrochemistry, yet they share a lot in common. What they don't share is the constant in-/e-flux of energy, and rather spongy and flexible lattice in the latter. Neither of us get's to play the pessimistic self-proclaimed expert, besides having "officially" studied. Guess what. No one cares. Either take the hard road and contribute something to science or calm down.
And the Meter is a stupid measurement for engineering. If the meter were half its size, then we would have a useful measurement system. What is humorous is that if the French actually had succeeded by changing Time to 100s to a minute and either 10 minutes to the hour or 100 minutes to the hour and 10 or 20 hours to a day, then the meter would have been about half of its size it is today. But because of the STUPID base 60 time system and the STUPID base 60 angular system.... oh wait, they are not stupid in the era of hand calculation due to its easy fraction/prime number shortcuts. Only in the computer era is base 60 stupid.
Did we watch the same video? They showed one of their rocket engines under test. It's a bit more complicated than a soda can. By the way - I have family by the name Helgeson. Are you or others in your family from Minnesota?
3D Printing *(Stereolithography)* has been part of the mass production manufacturing process for over 40 Years now. While naturally the technology continues to be refined, the genuinely new aspect of 3D printing is the availability of machines built specifically for the home market.
I saw a machine, in another RUclips video, that 3D printed houses. It pumped out concrete and spun around in a circle. Making an igloo shaped house! They chopped the windows and doors in while it was still soft. Something similar may be perfect for the Moon?
I have come from the future. Rocketlab have successfully launched their 3D printed engines along with their carbon fiber body into orbit, delivering payloads.
exactly. There also just has to be a ton of micro boubles and non-homogenous layers. Overal strength has to be significantly lower than milling solid metal
Outstanding!!! Ramp it up, or better yet, crank it all the way! Let’s get this party started! I can’t wait to see where this goes ten to fifty years out from now! So exciting, to see the development of such powerful technologies evolve!
*Amazing rocket factory.* If they can make a good rocket ship in there, then we can imagine that similar factories could make anything less complicated. This is the first wave of democratization in the manufacturing, where the size of the business is not important for the complexity of the product, because 3D printing removes the capital requirement for complex products.
Theoretically, you can print another 3D printer with that 3D printer and that's beautiful. XD One day, we will have giant 3D printers to print rockets like Starship or even bigger, these might even start to print big buildings. You just set them up like a construction crane and that is it.
Basically yes. And we all now woulding puts huge stress on materials and risk getting brittle... So this is not gonna take off.. Maybe If you put the 3D print in an oven at 1200C afterwards to get better micros stucture and loose material tension that built up from hot/cold stress.
they actually have a Protoss decal from StarCraft2 in their factory... @0:13 and 5:09 thats awesome. (Stargate is the Protoss building that produces air units)
Although a good idea i wonder what inconsistencies get produced at the same time when making such things? It's very important that these materials hold up for a very long time and with many different pressures, weathering etc.
The problem Werner Von Braun ran into with the V-2 was the strength of the rocket in the direction of acceleration. What I am looking forward to are powdered metal printers. Plastics do not have the required strength.
I'm glad they are doing it, it's a bit early for this tech but it's nice to see them and channels to promote this tech. Until recently it was patented now it's public domain. Any public exposure to this will make the practical use of this and the price to be accessible to more engineers and tinkerers much sooner versus later.
this is called welding. this is a machine making a rocket engine part by welding it. its bassically a big welding machine. i have the handheld version of that big 3d printer they use in my garage, its called a MIG welder.
Alexander Markland Agreed. Maybe there are civilizations out there that follow that pattern but as far as Earth, we were bogged down innovation wise by politics.
It looks like a mig welder on a robotic arm, I've had this idea for awhile, but idea and execution are two different things, massive props to these guys for getting it working.
With a scaling feature this will make it incredibly easy for just anyone to create actual, efficient missiles. A lot of the biggest technologies have come from trying to create destructive tools, a lot of the most destructive tools have been inadvertently created from trying to progress technology. The atom bomb from ideas of self sustained energy attempts is a good example.
Could you use sound waves to shunt heat away on a very localized area to cure the part you like but excite the part you don't (and then remove it)? Would this result in greater precision?
I worked at Zenith sintered products in Milwaukee, and we were doing the same thing with direct Focus lasers. Using proprietary powdered metals to form solid objects in printed form that would take months to manufacture that we could create in days
I believe the future of 3D printing will give us something similar to the Star Trek replicator although I would expect a range of printers to be necessary for different items. For example, food printers would not print metal parts, partly because of possible contamination. They will be needed for Martian or Lunar colonies using on the spot materials to produce parts instead of carrying them up the well form Earth.
This is super cool. It seems there's a lot of people getting into the sat launch market now, SpaceX and Rocket Lab have early leads but they'll have to keep pushing if they want to hold them.
4:05 "we're able to 3d print them in one piece which gives us kind of like good confidence in our ability to be completely leak proof" I'm not sure I agree with that... is this not like many many welds? Even though they're computer automated... not sure how much I would trust thousands of welds to be leak tight.

_Its been a while!_
_Feels great to be a part of family again!_
What's with the blur affect?
I can see some eccentric artist using the manual controls for the 3D metal printer to create intricate metal sculptures or something.
They made it look so simple yet it's freaking rocket science. I have no idea how smart these guys is.
What kind of cycle is the engine using?
I guess we'll have to wait for Scott Manley's take on this to know about that.
Open expander cycle
Were they ever able to make it?
It will not be long... Food replicators star trek style are coming your way soon...
They already exist look up Natural Machines
Theoretically, you can print another 3D printer with that 3D printer and that's beautiful. XD One day, we will have giant 3D printers to print rockets like Starship or even bigger, these might even start to print big buildings. You just set them up like a construction crane and that is it.
@Collin Schultz 😂
Can it 3D print a girlfriend?
Yes, but you still have to file off her rough edges! :)
ArchLizard 4ameatrocket
ArchLizard *sigh* I wish.....I wish....
ArchLizard a talking one? No thx.
ArchLizard probably cost more then the real dolls
Lowering part count is important in improving frame rate.

I believe I’ve found another KSP player!
It's a welding machine
Basically yes. And we all now woulding puts huge stress on materials and risk getting brittle...
So this is not gonna take off..
Maybe If you put the 3D print in an oven at 1200C afterwards to get better micros stucture and loose material tension that built up from hot/cold stress.

I have come from the future.
It has successfully launched into space.
they actually have a Protoss decal from StarCraft2 in their factory... @0:13 and 5:09 thats awesome. (Stargate is the Protoss building that produces air units)
Just waiting for the day someone yells, "It's a Gundam!"
2019: Print a rocket
2119: Print a Dyson Sphere
3019: Print a human brain
@Aarav Parikh dude..... Everybody know
Although a good idea i wonder what inconsistencies get produced at the same time when making such things?
It's very important that these materials hold up for a very long time and with many different pressures, weathering etc.
Is it completed?
Rocket Lab also uses 3D printing for their engines.
I absolutely love this. Advancements in new Technologies always excites me . Wishing you guys a fantastic future ahead.
They're basically welding metal powder/filaments together into a rocket. I wonder if you can turn a MIG welding machine into a 3d printer
Actually yes ! If you set the feed and speed correctly you could use a cnc table and fix a mig to it.
There's an idea... How difficult can it be? I mean its the same principle... Got to check that one out.
This is MIG on a KUKA bot with some machine vision to keep tolerances. That's all it is. Look at their patent.
@@Spirit532 i Know KUKA bot arms used to work with them, they'r not so hard...
@@MsJoao101 I have one! They're quite complicated :)
The protoss logo at 0:12 made my day hahaha
Basically it's a MIG on a arm. Did no one read the PDF on global change. Lulz
The problem Werner Von Braun ran into with the V-2 was the strength of the rocket in the direction of acceleration. What I am looking forward to are powdered metal printers. Plastics do not have the required strength.
Now this is the cool nerdy content I subscribed to Seeker for. Good stuff dudes, make moar! :P
Protoss yeeey
I'm glad they are doing it, it's a bit early for this tech but it's nice to see them and channels to promote this tech. Until recently it was patented now it's public domain. Any public exposure to this will make the practical use of this and the price to be accessible to more engineers and tinkerers much sooner versus later.
......and they're looking for astronaut Guinea pigs,any takers? 😂
Owning a 3D Printer, I'm chuckling to see the B-roll of the guy making sure the first layers are going well.
Cool stuff this... I wish my dad and grand dad where alive to see this... Oh boy!!!
Joao Baptista I wish just my grandad was alive to see this :/.
F
Don't worry your granddad is already born into this world but I hope he won't end up in your dinner table as a chicken tandoori 😂
this is called welding. this is a machine making a rocket engine part by welding it. its bassically a big welding machine. i have the handheld version of that big 3d printer they use in my garage, its called a MIG welder.
One Step Closer To a Type 1 Civilization
Only few 100s of years to go when we can achieve Type 1 civilization.
Alexander Markland
Agreed. Maybe there are civilizations out there that follow that pattern but as far as Earth, we were bogged down innovation wise by politics.
2050: can we fly to mars now???
Wait, the rocket isn’t printed yet...
3:06 do I see Borderlands there in the bottom? Borderlands 3 hype!
“One of of the things that makes our tanks special is our ability to like, 3D print them”
How do they keep getting money?!
Yang 2020. The spaceships are starting to build themselves.
Bring back Yang.
Wow! That mech engineer was so young and experienced at the same time. Simply awesome!
Tooling I get; but to “print” things that require a massive pressure/temp curve.... hell, scratch that... good luck on your UT tests😂
Good PR though
7:06 looks like it works.
this is very exciting!
Mass-produced rockets.
Welcome to the future.
I've been playing Factorio for 6 years, thank you!
@5:13 these guys actually put the Protoss emblem on their wall haha
Cool, i want to visit space within 15 years without going bankrupt, keep it up and make it happen! 😅🤙
It looks like a mig welder on a robotic arm, I've had this idea for awhile, but idea and execution are two different things, massive props to these guys for getting it working.
Alright we have this new state of the art 3d printer, what should we make with it?
Car parts
Building material
Eco friendly products
. . .
Rockets
My rocket better be handmade if I’m going to outer-space, man... haven’t y’all seen Apollo 13?!?
It's an amazing time to be alive🚀
With a scaling feature this will make it incredibly easy for just anyone to create actual, efficient missiles.
A lot of the biggest technologies have come from trying to create destructive tools, a lot of the most destructive tools have been inadvertently created from trying to progress technology. The atom bomb from ideas of self sustained energy attempts is a good example.
Please stop calling it a printer. Its a robotic welding arm..
Could you use sound waves to shunt heat away on a very localized area to cure the part you like but excite the part you don't (and then remove it)? Would this result in greater precision?
PRINT THE PERFECT WIFE /GF!!!! 😀
I worked at Zenith sintered products in Milwaukee, and we were doing the same thing with direct Focus lasers. Using proprietary powdered metals to form solid objects in printed form that would take months to manufacture that we could create in days
Well did they do it?
These engineers must construct additional pylons.
They also require more minerals.
xD
I believe the future of 3D printing will give us something similar to the Star Trek replicator although I would expect a range of printers to be necessary for different items. For example, food printers would not print metal parts, partly because of possible contamination. They will be needed for Martian or Lunar colonies using on the spot materials to produce parts instead of carrying them up the well form Earth.
Cool video guys, but can you tell your editors to go easy on that image stabilization? Better steady film or invest in a camera stabilizer ;)
Is it only for fusselage? I mean motors,tanks or pipe lines can be printed too?
Well that's what we exactly do in space engineers the whole day. But we also print cars, space ships, sattelites, and a whole bunch of stuff.
Which gives us kind of like good confidence 4:05 😂
do you print the bolts also for safty reasons ?
This is super cool. It seems there's a lot of people getting into the sat launch market now, SpaceX and Rocket Lab have early leads but they'll have to keep pushing if they want to hold them.
4:05
"we're able to 3d print them in one piece which gives us kind of like good confidence in our ability to be completely leak proof"
I'm not sure I agree with that... is this not like many many welds? Even though they're computer automated... not sure how much I would trust thousands of welds to be leak tight.
