  • How It's Made: 3D Metal Printing (Courtesy of Ex One)
    With steel 3D printing, your part is created by binding together layers of steel powder. Specifically, after a layer of steel powder is spread across the base of a “build box”, a special print head moves back and forth over the layer, and deposits binding agent at specific points, as directed by a computer and your design file. Once the layer is finished and it has been dried via powerful overhead heaters, a new layer of powder is spread, and the process begins again. In this way, layer by layer, from the bottom up, your part is created.
    Once the printing is done, the build box is placed in a curing oven and your part is sintered. The extra powder that was not bound, and is not part of your design, is then removed. At this point, your part is still very fragile. This so called “green state” will be the base of some of the design rules and limitations that follow below. Finally, via the use of a flute system, your design is infused with bronze, which replaces the binding agent. Your part is now solid metal, and after the flutes are manually removed, it is tumbled and polished to produce a smooth finish.

    Are all of you, dear commenters, really that silly? This technology is not about making door handles! It is about forming any shape of any structure you could ever dream of. Very fine porous metal materials for example (impossible before), precise knuckle transplants etc...

    My young friend @Leo Kao shared this post to show that, although he just recently got interested in the subject matter of 3D printing, he is already well oriented as to where the disruptive technology is heading for. Super glad that he will continue to keep abreast with 3D printing (additive manufacturing) both for work and for personal interest. The video clip, btw, provides a good overview and intro to people new to the topic of 3D printing. Worth checking out for sure.

Because it is really easy. The only thing slowing it down right now is the cost of initial setup. Nothing more. Its all plug and play. If you want, you can pick up AUTOCAD programs and tutorials for not much more and learn on your own.

      Not many blacksmiths around these days (in developed nations). Perhaps you're thinking of a machinist. And it's doubtful that a skilled machinist or blacksmith would be able to produce complex objects like the ones in the video in less time, much less with the same level of consistency.

    • @Teralek
      @Teralek 10 лет назад +1

      Calvin Huang
      :-) A machinist only needs a mold. It's way faster... and cheaper. Furthermore, there is value in "lack of consistency" because it makes each piece unique and potentially more valuable overtime.

    • @OldTexasRed
      @OldTexasRed 10 лет назад +3

      Teralek It also throws the ideas of mass production, interchangeable parts, and machined quality completely out the window. Also no mold is ever going to give you the same level of quality as what you just watched. Forget about the issue of having to build a new mold for each design.

    Applications are more ornamental than anything else with the current technology. We've "3D printed" working gearbox prototypes using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) but...they cannot handle and significant loads. The issue is that most traditionally machined components are made of steel that is heat treated to obtain the required strength properties. This cannot be done YET with sintered metal powder technology.
    Having said this...the "3D printing concept" itself has enormous potential.

      @TechSupport100 10 лет назад

      Exactly. 3DTOPO has a video on lost PLA casting. Print up the part with PLA, create a mold with plaster of paris/sand/water, heat the mold to burn off the PLA and then cast it with molten metal. Amazing precision and detail - and much quicker than this method (hours versus days). This is almost identical to the lost wax technique used for centuries to achieve fine detail in jewelry.

    • @Mazakala
      @Mazakala 10 лет назад +2

      Laser Gnomes Actually printing the mold wouldn't be hard at all. It would use the same powder method as in this video. The powder would be sand, resin would be sprayed on by the printing head. Once it's done it is ready for casting. Resin bonded sand is one of the most videly used methods in metal casting.

    • @markgraham4426
      @markgraham4426 10 лет назад

      Mazakala Think about the actual shape of the mold for the peice shown. Then think about how the printer would actually print this shape from the ground up. This is the actually one of the big problems with additive manufacturing, you can't print things in mid air. Secondary machining(uber complicated) could be used, but this kind've defeats the purpose.

    Options for creating fancy doorknobs.
    A) Hire a crew of specialist metalworkers, people with artistic sense, technical skill, and an understanding of materials science to manually craft doorknobs.
    B) Hire a full CAD/CAM crew to set up and service robotized tools to machine doorknobs.
    C) Hire one CAD person to draw the doorknob, then hire several minimum wagers to push a few buttons, pour powder in a box, and chuck the whole mess in a kiln.

      yes or they can buy a lathe and milling machine and do the same thing easier and quicker and cheaper and not need high tech equipment. These are good for making complex shapes of one of a kind items fairly quickly but not too good for mass production. This is an R&D tool. Of course, if you had one in your garage you certainly could make a gun but you would still have to machine certain parts of the gun, for example you would still need to precisely bore out the barrel.

    • @nunyabiznez6381
      @nunyabiznez6381 10 лет назад +1

      This is great for going right from a Mastercam file to having a prototype in your hand the next day. But for now, casting and stamping out parts is still way faster and more cost effective for mass production. To take most of a shift or longer to make just one part does not make sense to most manufacturers. But it does make sense to use this technology for making prototypes or a master mold which can than be used to make other molds or dies for mass production. My employer uses them to speed up the mold making process for use in lost wax manufacturing. Before, a model maker might take a week or longer to make one prototype or master mold or model. We used to have 20 model makers doing just that. Now we don't have model makers anymore. We have 3 3-D printers instead.

    • @r7calvin
      @r7calvin 10 лет назад

      Sculpting requires two sets of skills: creative/design abilities and manufacturing/fabrication abilities. A 3D printer can do the manufacturing part, allowing artists to focus on the creative aspects that machines are incapable of. This doesn't mean there won't be any sculptors in the future. It just means many sculptors will likely do digital sculpting using programs like ZBrush, rather than using wax or clay.

    So far the composite materials offer the best options for such things. This metal process clearly has limitations , given the types of metals used here and why. If the finished item could have been in stainless steel we'd have been talking. I think a composite plastic lower or even magazines would be better choices than bronze or similar low melting point metals.

    the one in the video probably costs close to $500,000 but you can expect to pay about $1500 for one for your own use.

    The most difficult part of making a mold is building the positive plug, which often consists of sculpting or machining wax. In this instance the positive plug is built virtually and with much greater detail, then printed. That's where the time savings comes in.

    There's always a market for things made the good old fashioned way. Don't worry, blacksmiths will NEVER disappear. But, if you need something made quickly and within 1 micron of a certain dimension, then you simply can't do that with a hammer and anvil. If I could have a sword made by this or a blacksmith with a hammer, I'd choose the blacksmith any day.

    3D printing can produce complexities that cannot be achieved in molds. 3D printing can produce very complex designs very fast from the digital design to the machine process.
    What is going to happen at some point is that graphene is going to be added to the process and this will then produce parts like we have never seen before.
    They will be hundreds of times stronger and exhibit properties like we have never seen like materials that can be conductors and insulators all in one.

    Agreeing with you enigmahood; fact is that you can indeed print moving parts. This may use a different type of resin that would make a gunshot hard to contain, but is proof of concept and all you would have to do is engineer a denser, more structurally sound resin or refine the metal printing process to a method similar to this:

    The scanner really does scan fully around the object and takes into account all moving parts on the inside.

    it's called cold weld, it's a special metal glue, using some kinda of electrolysis with epoxy "charge" to make pieces join one in other, there's a lot of brands, most famous are JB-WELD, PRO-WELD and ULTRAMETAL from Diamant Polymer...
    i already used JB-Weld, and it glued perfectly a metal box for prototyping, and how i don't have a "contact welding machine", the result for me was more than i exprected!

    Yes, a magazine, not the actual gun.
    In order to 3D copy a fully functional AR-15 you have to scan each piece (or download a file that has it pre-scanned,) of the Ar-15. If you just scan a full AR-15 you'll get a piece of plastic that looks like an AR-15 but doesn't have anything that its supposed to on the inside

    You could also have open source projects, people sharing their designs online for free. People just download the blueprint for something they like, and the 3d printer uses that to make it. :>

    I know exactly how good they are. And right now, unless you've got a machine more expensive than your house, you aren't printing anything electronic. At the moment, you can use a printer to make the non-electric parts of another printer, since nobody makes a cheap printer that's small enough to do microprocessors.
    Also, unless you only need one or two of whatever you sell, you'll need to injection mold it. It's much faster.
    Also, they only print one texture. You better not need anything soft.

    Doesn't matter that it's no cost effective OR slower... The point is that it's those things only right now, and as the process is refined, you'll see more and more 3D printing, to the point that it's so quick and cheap, that someone in the future will shake their head that we utilized "reductive machining" instead of "additive machining" at all. Remember that the first PC couldn't do anything near what the one you are looking at can do.

    Also, using a mould process you'd have to add extra material to make up for the imprecise nature of it (such as for draft angles etc), and then machine it off later, wasting material.

    Consider the amount of time and energy CURRENTLY required to make a door-handle in a factory, then transport that to a warehouse, to a store, and finally to your home. Now imagine an alternate scenario where you have a 3D printer on your kitchen counter, hop on the printing app store, buy a $0.99 door-handle design and instantly print it in about five minutes. That's what it will be like in about 2-3 years. It literally already exists; they're currently bringing it to market.

    Its weight generally keeps this from being a problem. The metal falls quite quickly.
    PS With 3D CAD rendering of parts of guns we now have the ability to end the gun control debate, but for now since most affordable 3D printers use polymers, so far it's only good for the receiver and the magazine (which are the main parts being controlled anyways).
