Metal 3d printers that cost 700-1200$ would literally revolutionize EVERYTHING it would open up creative endeavors in such a way to make it available to literally any one and everyone. One machine that could do the job of almost every tool in a professional machine shop.
For those wondering about DIY - the lowest cost way to do this is to use a laser cutter and cut thin sheets of metal cross sections, then stack them, and either weld or bolt it up. It's not perfect, but it's sub 2000 dollar "printing". Its slicing, but physical. For 3D printing, lost casting. There are resin printers with prints that can be baked and the metal will fuse while the resin bakes off. Not great but Integza made rocket engines this way. There are metal bearing filaments, like Prusa Tungsten PETG that are 70% high z (refractory) metal that will have some properties of the carried metal. Prusa also makes a fire retardant filament. The multi tool head XL printer can print within the print, and embed multi materials, so a flame retarding liner inside a CF reinforce nylon shell. There are a small number of expensive printers that embed a continuous CF strand into the print rather than shredded CF. printers can go FAR with just exotic plastics. Don't believe the gov propaganda that just plastic makes you defenseless If you want to go down the rabbit hole start with "orca" and "fosscad"
@@jminkvihubybThe orca can last for thousands of rounds while firing intermediate cartridges. It is equivalent in power to an ar-15 but everything that isn't printed can be bought at a hardware store.
@@AckzaTV 3d metal printing is already a thing, although it is currently expensive, and the spec sheet for a .223 barrel can be inferred or found online. It would however be easier and cheaper to just mill one. Single base smokeless powder is basically nitrocellulose and a nitrate oxidizer, both can easily be made at home. Also, brass sheet can be punched and shaped into a case with some specialized hand tools that are actually pretty cheap. Hand loading cartridges is pretty popular in some circles.
This made me realize that the machines I know, made of rubber tubes, wires, metal screens, rods, bolts, and washers, all of it separate parts, that we've been so extremely limited in our builds by the exact things this tech is allowing us to do. The ability to print an engine, nearly all 1 solid piece.. wow
To all those hoping this reaches small individuals without a fat wallet, it will eventually, but whats more likely to happen before then is breakthroughs in material science, creating better materials than metal for certain applications, and for a fraction of the cost. As well as synthetic materials are more cost effective to 3D print. I'd say within a few years us smaller fry will be able to print reliable tools without needing a fortune, or rely on other entities.
The way they weld powder into the part after layer after layer of powder being laid down. Unbelievable how they developed the technology to print metal without dispensing liquid metal to then harden. The next 20 years will be fucking awesome
I just seen a 3d printer shop. Reminds me more of a chemistry lab honestly. Guy was extra careful of the dust. You don't want to breath in such fine particles. Definitely amazing for complex parts or one off projects. Definitely don't seen it scalable to we can print extremely fast. It was pretty cool though. The manifolds they were making were something else. Organic looking. It was like ten interwined tubes in a cube.
Laser sintering uses a powder which is “welded” into the print pattern. Metal strength is always degraded because there are void spaces in the powder that remain after the laser bonds them together. It’s like asphalt. Those voids degrade strength and make the metal porous. I would like to see the durability measured of a sintered suppressor. If they see the same life, that’s great.
Yes but also it can be stronger as you don't need to machine threads, press sleeves, introduce weld heat affected areas, and all of the other defects that conventional manufacturing techniques introduce, if your design process is sound then you may be able to make a stronger overall part.... though cost is always a factor
Its cool but the Printing material for it is over 600$ so each part you make would cost 3x to 10x what it would to put it in a mold also the problem with printing most plastics most of the time you can make the thing far cheaper with pvc or a apoxy mold
So, if it were printed fully, wouldn't all the voids be filled with the titanium powder? I assume it would be best to be removed somehow (for weight etc) but it's not clear it can be emptied
Its very cool to see additive construction used for high pressure applications. Even/especially when it's this high pressure, though I do worry about wear down.
You could modify that and youed have a very good, silencer. As a mater of consequence a Toyota feul filter evel an old one would probably be a pretty good "nearly free" silence.
The aeronautical industry has been 3D printing metal tools to work on aircraft for years at this point, it has finally trickled down into the gun community! Woohoo!
Wow.. i knew this would happen because we had the 3d printers then went to 3d print houses and i was waiting for 3d metal work but i thought it was going to be too hard. I mean i dont fully understand it but i also havent looked into the technology behind it but lets say you have one.. and they really make the push to EV's and all gas powered vehicles parts stop being supplied.. you can just service yourself! Very very good!
Out simply, a laser is fired at and moved along in a pattern over a mound of metal shavings that melts them, and as it goes round and round and the metal shavings keep being pushed onto the area to be welded/baked/melted onto the previous layer, so a part continually is contained within a mound of shavings. At the end, you pull the part out of the mound and it is as complex as a laser and light can make it.
This was just a demonstration. One year forward and there are commercially available printed supressors. So yes, your question is still valid. I have not asked any mfgs that question
3D systems should chill with their patents and let enthusiast's print too And I had one of their printers they dropped support it's a paperweight now I believe they wanted to patent the entire concept of FDM at some point, correct Me if im worng
Is that the problem with 3d printing? They can only do half at a time and the weak point would be where we have to join them? I dont know why its bad paperwork if it was full
That was most likely printed completely then cut In half with a wire edm. What really sucks is shaking the excess metal powder out of designs like this.
Why did they only print half the mold for Chinese finger handcuffs? They’d sell tons of them if they printed the entire mold. Dad’s across the country would buy several for their kids.
Theres no way i could ever afford the equipment to make these myself, however, if i were to manufacture these, how long before the NSA sends another few aphabet agencies to my front door?
