@@yaydood2556not really no, the scanning is pretty impressive, you definitely cant do that at home with a hobby priced scanner, and keep in mind these are powder based multicolor machines, these still arent accessible to consumers
Same here. Doesn't hit the same now since "3D printing" is common now. This is more along the lines of additive manufacturing. But when I first saw this, wow! Still cool none the less.
Look at the original wrench, the thumb wheel has 4 ridges. But the printed one has 3. Between the scanner and the CAD model, there are still a lot of work. The scanner for sure can give you a good outline of the contour, you still need to add the inner part that the scanner cannot "see".
To create separation between parts you tell the computer to not laser (melt) that specific layer area. You have to think in terms of building your object like laying down sheets of paper (polymer dust layer). I've also seen a metalized sample, the ramifications are awesome.
The most amazing moment for me: when the guy scans in the wrench & within seconds it is modeled on the computer! I took 3D modeling in college, so normally something that would take hours or days for a 3D modeler is reduced to seconds or minutes with a scanner! WOW!!! \m/ >_< \m/

I wonder if they can replicate body parts. I mean, if they can make a hand with all tendons etc, then later it can be attached to a body. Of course they will need to use a different material...the possibilities are endless. Cool!
That entirely depends on the user for the most part. I work as a service technician specifically for zPrinters and in most cases a customer that treats their printer well rarely needs a service visit. The important thing to remember is that these are prototyping machines not mass-production.
OMG i kept hearing about these, but i never understood how it actually worked!!! I also heard that they started making mouse/rat hearts that actually work too!
There are actually commercial printers capable of 3D printing metal. If they can't do circuits now, it's definitely not far behind. This video is over two years old - the technology has advanced considerably since then.
I remember watching this 8 years ago and I thought to myself "the future is now, this gonna be so expensive tho but imagine what it can do" and rn, 3d printer is on our reach already, and not that expensive 😌😌
Hey. Future here. It was to test how strong the 3d printed wrench would be. 👍 Also, NOW. It's normal to 3d print stuff. When this came out. Nope. RIP Socrates. Much love yayeeee
The premise is that eventually you'll go to Radio Shack or any store, buy some parts that you feed into a 3D Printer, and then it produces an appliance or tool. It will mean that a lot factory assembly line processes will eventually enter the home.
I was wondering that as well. You can see in the one scene when he selects the part to be colored red that it picked up the internals of the wrench as well but it doesn't really explain how it knew it was there to begin with. Maybe the scanner in the first process is part x-ray machine so it can see what is inside an object.
@griller506 Bones are extremely complex structures. Look up Haversian systems if you're interested. They aren't simply solid masses that hold your body up/protect organs. Bones are constantly built up and broken down in your body depending on how much stress/tension they put up with or to normalize any fluctuations in blood calcium levels. Not to mention their composition isn't consistent throughout. For example you can have spongy bone and compact bone in long bones.
@forksofpower I just thought a 3d scanner could not correctly capure the machanism, so they had to rework it by hand. But you are right I mispoke, that was CAD in any way
@Creativeffectstudios The threads on the original metal one are thinner, the concave area on the handle is round near the head on the original whereas the 3D model and printed wrench have a sharper more square shape. The original had a hole at the base of the handle for a clip. The model has a wire loop attached to it instead. Its a completely different wrench. I'm disappointed cause he said that he was going to scan it. But they clearly used a man-made 3D model for the printing.
Where technology is concerned, what is a limiting factor now will not necessarily be a limiting factor in the future. Wait 10-20 years, and it's absolutely conceivable that it will be possible to produce circuitry via printing or a functionally similar method. Either a way will be found to quickly build those components, or the components will be simplified to the point where they are much easier to build. Either way the result is the same.
How do we do this so we can make parts at a cost that China will be cut out. I would like this to be made to print in production. Say in line printers in a row so each part section is printed then combined at the end at high speed? can it be done continuous line method?
this will be great for ceramics and stuff by making a replica mold or something so I can recreate my works over and over and paint them different colours :D I hope one day
For example, look at the thumb wheel at 0:08, then look at the printed thumb wheel at 3:19. It is a completely different design. The scanning part of this video is just for show, they don't actually use the scanned data to make the printed wrench.
not quite. if you're talking about that kid from austin, he didn't print the gun, no one is able to print the entire gun (metal pin, barrel, spring...) what he did, he printed the most basic part of the assault rifle, the one that is most difficult to make. plus, materials that will be available to your average joe will absolutely not be applicable here, they're simply not hard or durable enough.
@griller506 Because we have idea how to form bone in the same way we know how to form metals. If we did we wouldn't be using materials for joint replacement that are inferior to natural bone. Also you have to realize there is a huge difference between inorganic and organic substances. Making something organic like bone is way harder than something like a wrench.
@b1sorun The copied version also had a ring at the end, but this machine is more of a printer than a copier. look @2:30 did as promised but with a different wrench.
@JoeyVigil109329 I'm pretty sure it scans more than just the surface, more like a scan/x-ray combo, so it would be able to see the size of the shaft for the worm gear. -Just a guess, but I don't know how else it could do that.
@StevieG895 Well, it depends where are you from. We are distributors for SEE region, but our supplier is the company Z Corporation. If you tell me, from which country are you coming from, I can find a distributor in your region.
Can someone please explain to me how it is possible to capture depth? How can one picture print something with internal moving parts... A picture is unable to capture inside of an object.. The only way this is possible is if they are using xray imaging... In which case, cool! But if not.... There is a lot more to this printer than they let on! Please give me your feedback as I am very curious as to how this works.
Greg Schuster the scanner thing was just a joke to go with the whole star trek replicator gag. what they actually did was took a picture of the wrench to get the outline and modeled the rest in a CAD program. scanners dont actually work like that
@griller506 I can't say for certain since I have no medical experience, but I would think it's quite a challenge to physically remove and replace an entire major bone in a living human body. They would also have to make the material so that the body doesn't reject it. Its an idea though!
When it comes to this I'm officially stupid, I still don't get it, and just like the man I'm also like "it makes no sense" I can kind of understand that it makes a replica outer shape of the item that has been scanned. But I don't get how the printer makes it an internal fully functioning tool. How can the wrench actually work?
You must have to put in more information than this, some of the parts on the wrench are not seen. how does it know when parts are connected? like how does it know how far the shaft connected to the worm gear goes in? Someone must have did some extra work on the computer besides just scanning it.
What this Must be fake because on the original tool the thing you have to turn is way smaller, just compare it in the last seconds of the vid. And how would this scanner recognize whether a part is moveable
I remember watching this video nine years ago and it absolutely blew my mind- still does tbh
amazing 2011
now you can do this at home with a 200$ printer lol
Came here to say that

Bro. Even *now* this is still a good 3D printer. That's incredible.
This was my introduction to 3d printing
Same
These machines will change everything!!
A technology viable for noble prize. Respects to those intellectual brains who devised it.

It has 4.
oh man, how far we have come in only 6 years, the Carbon M2 would blow these guys minds
Wow! Something like this would be absolutely revolutionary in the scale modeling/building hobby.
Incredible how it´s written in one piece, and with moving parts!
To create separation between parts you tell the computer to not laser (melt) that specific layer area. You have to think in terms of building your object like laying down sheets of paper (polymer dust layer). I've also seen a metalized sample, the ramifications are awesome.

the rings in the wrench and the wheels of that weird thing aside can move is the most astonishing thing...

Thank you for the first-hand experience and information.
This is Science at its best.
Of course. Although as a (relatively) new technology I'd expect progress to be far quicker. Processing power is not the limitation here.
I remember the first time seeing this video. The thing that impressed me the most was 240P.
@griller506 Bones are extremely complex structures. Look up Haversian systems if you're interested. They aren't simply solid masses that hold your body up/protect organs.

So what's the cost of the real wrench at the store and what's the cost of the printed wrench? In 2013 dollars?
THIS IS GREAT
NOW I CAN PIRATE AN ENTIRE SYSTEM INSTEAD OF JUST THE GAME
@forksofpower I just thought a 3d scanner could not correctly capure the machanism, so they had to rework it by hand. But you are right I mispoke, that was CAD in any way
yes, but how often does the printer break down ansd require service? ;)

Like neanderthals discovering fire...
How did the printer know what to print for the inside areas of the wrench not visible to the eye?
In 10 years I'm going to research this machine and see how far it's come.
Hello, I'm from the future, did you do this?
What did you find out?
this is amazing !
here's a thought - replicate the printers using the printers, world-wide expansion taken care of !
@pats606 It's not Windows 98. The Laptop with the scanner is running Windows 7 and the computer attached to the printer is running XP.
@griller506 Probably because the bone replacement isn't "organic" so there is a great chance of rejection.
@griller506 A 3d printed titanium jaw implant was used recently and found to be a far better method then the more time consuming ways of right now.
how the moving parts can be treated with resin without locking them up??
how does it replicate what's inside of something?
How do we do this so we can make parts at a cost that China will be cut out.
I would like this to be made to print in production. Say in line printers in a row so each part section is printed then combined at the end at high speed? can it be done continuous line method?
this will be great for ceramics and stuff by making a replica mold or something so I can recreate my works over and over and paint them different colours :D I hope one day
how long did it take to print the wrench?
@AnubusStar it can be helpfull but the powder must not be toxic if it's put in the body. And you need testing for that. But still is verry neat
Technically they would have to change some things on the Computer for Copy Right, the Company that made the Original Wrench OWNS that exact design,
Can the printer print itself?
How much cost this printer?
For example, look at the thumb wheel at 0:08, then look at the printed thumb wheel at 3:19. It is a completely different design. The scanning part of this video is just for show, they don't actually use the scanned data to make the printed wrench.
If it gets lost, how would you be able to print another?
THIS. IS THE FUTURE.
@pringleznpretzels Would be great for things like hip replacements, though, for the elderly.
not quite. if you're talking about that kid from austin, he didn't print the gun, no one is able to print the entire gun (metal pin, barrel, spring...) what he did, he printed the most basic part of the assault rifle, the one that is most difficult to make. plus, materials that will be available to your average joe will absolutely not be applicable here, they're simply not hard or durable enough.
What we can do is store food in the powders and compact it so we can store it and use it for later. The possibilities are endless.
@griller506 It certainly is being used in medicine. There are lots of medical applications and tools being currently made in such way.
How much did it cost?
I was asking about the scanning process, not the printing.
Thanks for the explanation though.
Let's not forgot the hour in CAD the designer had to spend in order to make the wrench functional.
Why do the ends of the wrenches look different? The scanned one has a hole,while the printed one has a ring at the end
But how to scan the hidden parts without disassemble it?
@griller506 Because we have idea how to form bone in the same way we know how to form metals. If we did we wouldn't be using materials for joint replacement that are inferior to natural bone. Also you have to realize there is a huge difference between inorganic and organic substances. Making something organic like bone is way harder than something like a wrench.

Is not the same wrench. I have no doubt they printed it but there is no way they scanned that wrench to print.
