I would just like to note: His wife was in fact watching. And I definitely don’t mind the competition! The Tormach is a great addition, and I’ve loved watching the journey to get it where it is today!
Somehow, I just KNEW that when I dropped out of full screen after the video and checked the comments, I was going to see this exact comment. I am kinda impressed that it was the toppa da list, tho.
Absolutely amazing tour. These guys obviously know their stuff, but also know how to tell it in an understandable and engaging way! Those first ultrasonic additive manufacturing machines were crazy! Great that they just let you see and film all parts of those machines and how they make stuff, the demo with the embedded fibre was very interesting.
You are seeing both intelligence and knowledge here. The technology is amazing. Crazy how much the human race has advanced in the last 50 years. Think about the technology your grandfather had, then your father, and now you....just take a look at this stuff, how can you not be in awe. Imagine what are children and grandchildren will have.
Absolutely superb! Thank you for this amazing, detailed tour - and my sincere gratitude to Fabrisonic for their efforts to patiently - and enthusiastically - describe their kit.
I'm member of a university Baja team called BAJA UFMG and in our lab we have a CNC mill and lathe, basically is our team alone that keep them running. Fortunately last year we cound afford a new mechanical lathe. I'm jealous seeing all thous machines.
So much goodness and coolness, I really enjoyed, it thanks for the tour! I got to play with the laser sintering machine at the Vogt Lab in Louisville back in the 90's. I am sure it has come a LONG ways since then. That big stir welder looked like most big bridge mills Cincinnati and G&L used to make/ still do under Fives. If you get up to Wisconsin you should check it out!
Best shop tour you have done, without question. Amazing technology! Bonus points for the John dorkgasm while standing on a titanium ball, and Eds evil grin when he heard the 3d printer was DIY.
John, your one of the best tour interviewers, if that makes sense. You always get the best out of the folks you meet. Great to watch this... extremely smart people working there!
I just made a comment on how crazy the technology is. You are 72 ... think about what you had, then the next generation ... and then the next. In the last 50 years who would imagine that we would have these kind of things readily available to manufacture things. I'm in my 40 and I am amazed... I can't imagine what my grandchildren will see someday. I hope they do not view us as morons LOL!!! It is add on of knowledge and technology and they keep building on that to make these cool things. This is really how technology changed the the world ... buying crap ya don't need on the internet is one thing, but this is the side of technology that pushed and really advances man, its a shame more people do not watch these videos even if they are not into this, just knowing about it can generate ideas to advance man..... I hope you live to 172 just to see what we can create. God Bless
What we hear an see on TV is all wrong.. My Son and Nephew are Millennial Generation young Men, and they're sharp as a tack.. TV tells us this generation are all a bunch of pot head, liberal bums, destine to be homeless.... You can't believe ANYTHING you see on our dinosaur TVs anymore... It's just a corrupt profit/proaganda machine now.. useless.!
@@THOMASTHESAILOR these comments give me hope. Because that's all I see people telling millennials... that they're exactly that... Now if only those people calling them that would just get the hell out of their way!
I'll join the chorus of thanking you for this video. They're doing some awesome stuff there and I doubt I would have seen it anywhere else. Not for a long time at least. Thanks!
I have to say, best video yet. So darned interesting. Thank you. Scale it up and build a spaceship with it.. IN SPACE! Mind blown is an understatement. Mine asteroids and the moon for raw materials, use this tech to build anything including a monster spaceship.. The Enterprise comes to mind!
Total nerdgasm! Thanks John! Can't believe they let you film all of it... the only thing I saw blurred was the stir-welding tool that was in the spindle... must be a top-secret tool geometry!
Developed by The Welding Institute of Cambridge England (GB) and with ESAB Sweden. The proprietary secret part is the rotating tool, it's similar to trilobal tapered milling endmill. The ones they showed earlier, are obsolete. Hope this helps.
Holy moly, so many new things for my head to take in, literally mind blowing!!! Id love to know more about their galvanometers that they are using in the home brew printer.
NYC CNC drinking game!! Every time you here a quick "okay", take a sip!!! All jokes aside, there are books on being a good interviewer and not talking over your subject!... These are still good factory tours and you ask good questions, but we don't need the constant reinforcement that you instantly understand every concept explained. Rather than cutting them off with an "okay," let them keep talking and see what other facts and concepts are explained.
Is it me or does it seem like machinist are now MIT graduates?...... these guys seem rather intelligent in all the videos I watch, the industry sure has changed in the last 2 decades. Some of the these machines and the technology is just amazing. It makes me think of a million uses for these machines. I am truly amazed with the technology and the technology that goes into the machines specifically. If you can dream it they can build it to your specs! What I really wonder is who are the people that actually design and build these amazing instruments/machines that can make so many truly wonderful things. The human race has advanced so fast since the mid to late 1900s with what we can create, I can only imagine the future when we create new materials that have some truly amazing properties and what we will be able to create.
So in the case of the fiber optic it has a really small diameter so they were able to just lay a film and weld over it. How did they embed the larger diameter pipes and weld over it with sheets of aluminum? Incredible video btw!
I'm still scratching my head. How were they able to produce a part with a tube through it? I can imagine laying down a thin layer and then cutting the inside tube with a ball end mill. However, that only works to the "half-way" point of the tube.
We first mill a path with a 'lolipop' endmill. It has about 270 degrees of arc. We then fill the channel with a special support material and weld over the channel to seal it in. Once we get to the desired height, we mill the outside of the tube wall to get the exact shape we are looking for. Send me an email at info@fabrisonic.com and we can send you a few slides showing the evolution.
@@Fabrisonic1 Sent! Thanks for getting back to me. As an engineer/machinist/fabricator, what you have is SUPER intriguing! I may have been on the right path. The lolipop end mill approach is awesome!
It's hard enough moving a milling machine into your garage. I can't imagine getting it into the space station lol. On that subject though, is there any concern about how the ultrasonic harmonics might effect the station itself? I know they're very concerned with vibrations and things of that nature up there.
"Can we do a tool change?" Uhhh sure, I'm just in the middle of this part for NASA rocket testing, worth an untold amount of future money to my company. But sure, why not.
It's good to see the cutting-edge area that most only see if they are hardcore nerdites. I remember reading this back in the 80s when all that research gold was shelved after Apollo 17, the money to push the state of art was creating a gulf of highly skilled vs God, guns, and greed. So much time and energy wasted. It's good to see innovation.
So what you're saying is, if I just hammer really really hard and fast, I could forge weld at a much lower heat? (I do a bit of backyard blacksmithing).
@@Fabrisonic1 Wow, thanks for letting me know that, do you also know whether or not this results in a great change of density??? (asking because it should stay lightweight :))
@@loukask.9111 3D printed aluminum is the same density as billet. For the metal matrix composite, the density goes up a bit but the strength to weight ratio is still incredible.
i wondered the same thing as well. I would hazard a guess as to a propriety design they want to keep secret or perhaps developed by one of their customers and they don't want another nation state figuring it out, who knows who could be watching.
I would just like to note: His wife was in fact watching. And I definitely don’t mind the competition! The Tormach is a great addition, and I’ve loved watching the journey to get it where it is today!

1 hour and 34 minutes ago I thought I was a fairly intelligent guy. Now I feel like a Luddite.....
Some solid knowledge dropped in that tour...
dont confuse knowledge with intelligence.
True.

Absolutely superb! Thank you for this amazing, detailed tour - and my sincere gratitude to Fabrisonic for their efforts to patiently - and enthusiastically - describe their kit.
So awesome to see what science can do with a lot of funding.
At our institute we can't even afford to keep our 30 year old mill running.
I'm member of a university Baja team called BAJA UFMG and in our lab we have a CNC mill and lathe, basically is our team alone that keep them running. Fortunately last year we cound afford a new mechanical lathe. I'm jealous seeing all thous machines.

That's one smart young kid. Props to him and his parents who raised him. Good job kid. Theres hope for our future yet...
Agree - Justin's a sharp guy!
Wow, half an hour of this video has literally blown my mind... can't wait to watch the rest of it. Thanks for bringing such videos to us!
At the age of 72 this gives me faith in the upcoming generations. Some really smart people.

Oh wow, rarely seen anything as cool as that! Thanks John for the insights and these brilliant people explaining all the stuff!
MY pleasure!
Very cool tour John! I learned a lot and geeked out more than I would like to admit. Thanks for taking us along.
:)
Hi John and team...thanks for organising such an awesome tour.
Thanks soo very much for making this John. My jaw was dropped most of the video!
I'll join the chorus of thanking you for this video. They're doing some awesome stuff there and I doubt I would have seen it anywhere else. Not for a long time at least.
Thanks!
Thanks! Super cool of them to allow us to film :)
as someone who loves to 3d print and machine on a daily basis I absolutely love this video and this type of work
I have to say, best video yet. So darned interesting. Thank you.
Scale it up and build a spaceship with it.. IN SPACE! Mind blown is an understatement.
Mine asteroids and the moon for raw materials, use this tech to build anything including a monster spaceship.. The Enterprise comes to mind!
It's cool to see the "evolution" of the technology too!
Seeing a lot of future manufacturing right there.
OMG!!!! Mind blown in the first ten min!!!!
:)
Things rarely blow my mind these days, but that was out of this world. These guys are super smart, and the tech and capabilities are futuristic.

5:00 omg to make something like that for watercooling computers would be sick!, could build the radiators into the waterblocks lol
This place is awesome! Had no idea a place like this was in Ohio, a short trip away from where I am in WV. Thanks for this video! :D
Right?! Crazy to see what's "next door" sometimes
This is awesome content! I had heard of Ultra-Sonic welding, but Assumed it was limited to plastics.
This is incredible. It has blown my mind . We don't see this sort of technology in Australia Thanks for the video
I assume you guys would friction stir weld counter clockwise?
@@nyccnc Hahaha very true
All that tecnologi just made my mouth drop =0... Incredible! specialy the printing on fiber optics and sensors in the metalic parts...
Holy moly, so many new things for my head to take in, literally mind blowing!!! Id love to know more about their galvanometers that they are using in the home brew printer.
The galvo is the most expensive bit in the home brew. It is a commercial grade product for industrial lasers.....
wow this is amazing to see what's possible with additive production today
Thank you John and everyone involved in this great video. Matt C.
Thank you JS, you have showed us “very cool stuf” (quoted from you).
This is really cool stuff. I can't wait for this stuff to be available for the hobbyist.
That is quite the hefty holder just for a box of cimwipes (29:27) ;) Awsome video and even more awsome they let you film all this!
Coolest video in ages! 58:28 - any guesses what the tool in the machine being blurred out is?
I'm imagining it's something obscene.
A thoroughly entertaining and informative video! Love seeing this stuff!
thanks! It was awesome of Fabrisonic to allow us to film! They also volunteered to make a part for Johnny 5!!!
Wow a Tormach! Epic machine
I'm super curious as to why you had to blur the stir welding tool in the machine.
Because they told us to ;)
@@nyccnc Ha! You guys could have killed a curious cat if the rest of this video wasn't so cool and informative! watched the whole thing!
I'm guessing it's a pending patent that might be swiped otherwise.
@@nyccnc Haha, thought it was some kind of sex joke :P
Wildly exciting and interesting,thanks very much for showing it.
I can't stop watching this!

Teflon as a practical material came from the WW2; it was valve lining for uranium hexaflouride streams.
Glad to see some advancing intelligence vs fake media, thanks John and good work going forward guys!
I guess they don't have a "take your dog to work day" there!
hahaha That was truly funny .... hahaha ya made me choke on my drink when I read that... The place is really clean too.

My goddamn curiosity it killing me, I want to know what the hell was under the blur.
Also, this makes me miss working in Carbon Fiber and just being around developing technology
Haha

Thanks for sharing. very interesting :)
Incredibly interesting!
EPIC video! Keep it up.
Thanks!
So...is there a tormak on the ISS? Or a smaller tormak analog? Or something else?
Thank you, what a great video!
Totally agree with Mark Cuckerberg and John Collins
fantastic, very interesting thanks.
This stuff is amazing!
Right?!
"Opportunities for failure."... Story of my life.
lol
When do we get to see the "Direct Energy Deposition"???!!!
You should visit Bullen Ultrasonics in Eaton Ohio
"that looks like a mig welder to me"
"yeah, that is a mig welder"
- 😂😂😂
LOL - sometimes you never know...
exactly
Just amazing!
How do they measure strain with optical fibers, interference from changing path length?
22:45 - Ultrasonic welding head, or GLaDOS?
did he really just say that it's possible to 3d print aluminium with a tensile strength of around 1300-1500mpa (200-220ksi)???
Aluminum metal matrix composite. Aluminum + Ceramic Fibers. Just like rebar in concrete.......
:) crazy, right?!

Jessus, they've been drawing and butting bicycle tubing for decades.
Can this machine build a working jet engine fan blade (for any of the engine stages?)
They can cut down on the waste material on the ends a lot.
why was the toolbit blurred out in the friction welding monster machine?
i wondered the same thing as well. I would hazard a guess as to a propriety design they want to keep secret or perhaps developed by one of their customers and they don't want another nation state figuring it out, who knows who could be watching.
Wow, 1:10:20, the tool got censored and pixelated?
at 1 hour 11 minutes, why did you pixelate / blur out the tool in the machine?
That blurred out tool has peaked my curiousity..
QUESTION!!! Why did you have to blur-out the tool that was chucked up in to the Z?? LOL
Because they told us to ;)
@@nyccnc crazy stuff, nice video.
1:10:58 Is the tip censored?
just the tip honey, whoops old habit
Laughed my ass off when I saw that.
Always have to sensor the tip.
Yes but just the tip
AvEs clapped out Bridgeport did an alright job at Stir welding, time to upgrade one of your Tormachs I think
Thank you John...Great info , video and WoW...must of it went over my head , but i find it so amazing the time we live in..;-)
what's the salary like for these young techs?
What was the base machine platform for that US welder? It looks like it was a 50 taper machine to start with.
Looks like it was, at one point, a hurco to me.
Our largest machine is a HSK63, our midsize machine is 50 Taper, and then the tormach is the little guy
if only everything in the world was made by people like this.
30.42 Very Cool...
