Very cool. Faro was nice enough to send out one of their engineers to my forensic science classroom yesterday. Their crime scene scanning equipment is out of this world. Thanks for sharing your Faro arm with us!
3D printed items can be cast using the same process as lost wax casting. Print sprues and vents into your part, pour plaster around the part and let it set up, burn out the plastic, and pour your metal.
Jay, We use FARO too at our Ballistic Testing Laboratory. If you ever do an episode on vehicle armor and bullet resistance windshields (glass/glazing), let us know! We'd be happy to shoot anything you want to see and include some high speed video for your show. Thanks! -Great Show!
INCREDIBLE!! And I'm two years late! At 13, I built 'The Boys First Book of Electricity' crystal radio. I finished the antenna and was able to pickup Wolfman Jack. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. The neighbors were soon bringing their broken tube radios and tv's for me to fix. Electronics, computers and such, have always been a fascination to me. In the Army I worked in Missile systems, when I left, I got a job in R/D in a secret place making some very unusual robots. It's a shame I had to go back to work as a carpenter to support my family and leave the robotics industry. I would have worked for nothing if I could have. Thanks for the videos!
Good idea for the heat sinks, but they would work better if placed vertically (this way each fin does not heat the one above it) What kind of material is the finished product?
Very, very cool presentation. Well thought out, and obviously presented by a pro. The information is what I'd say is "intrinsically cool". There is a LOT of potential in these companies, and a lot of "green" features to this approach to prototyping and then "presto" you can often print the final part, if not provide the CNC files to let a machine shop to do it. Too cool. Thanks for making this!
Wow! I met Ping Fu a dozen years ago! We worked together to to create digital models of orthodontic patients' teeth & gums for stereolithographic replication (like Jay's 'magic oven') & CAD. At that time, Geomagic was one of only two companies that could handle the natural forms like teeth. We developed a system for importing those models into CAD for IGES outputs for CAM programs... it's a long story. Anyway, Ping is great; very smart & very nice!
Thanks for the fast reply!! Can the part that is to be made, be increased by a %- age in all directions in the computer to make a master to be poured out of a specific metal?. As most metals have a different shrinkage percentage. In making gears the process is a very long procedure with cutting, grinding and then hardening of the gear. You would have to make some parts of the printed part smaller and larger to accommodate the machining process. I can see wear this would at lease make the blank for the gear much faster & remove some steps in the process.
I suppose they have to create a mold (made from destructive sand most of the time) from the computer model in which they put liquid metal in it (exactly like for motor or any other complex part) and then work on the raw material to machine it. Or they use directly a machine following a computer program and good human skills to machine a bloc of metal. Each process has drawbacks and advantages. It depends what kind of characteristics you want to obtain.
We’re doing the same thing in a small shop. Processes differ some but the outcome is still a replicated part. We’re continuing to develop various ways to achieve the same thing with different technologies in order to achieve high resolution results. It’s one thing to scan and replicate and another to replicate a high degree of detail.
It prints from bottom to top using very thin layers of plastic.There are lots of 3D printing video on youtube,you should check them out. It really is useful for making things from plastic.
5:40 I've met Ping Fu about 15 years ago, and discussed creating accurate models of biological hard tissues then for my work developing an automated process. She's a really nice & uber-smart lady! What I learned from her enabled me to acquire 2 patents in 'Mass Customization', a process that uses one single technique to apply mass-production methods for replicating natural morphology variants like that mask she showed. Her company, Geomagic, actually develops software for the most difficult & troublesome aspect of such replication; preparing & 'healing' the 3D digital models created from scanning. The mathematics behind such surface models is horrendous! ... imagine differential equations with multiple variables up to 43rd order (likely more now) for each surface patch of many, each patch fitting precisely with neighboring patches! ...*way* over my head! 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.' -Arthur C. Clarke
she seems like a lot of fun to be around.. compared to the last two guys who seem to be a bit on the grumpy side. hhe.. judgemental on my side.. but she just comes off as being fun! and the last two guys were way more business oriented series if you will grumpy probably wrong word.. she on the other hand.. screamed fun!
There are 3D printers that can print in metal and normally they use a laser beam to weld tiny particles of metal powder used for printing. There are not really new thing and they are on the market for a few years. But anyway the video does not seem to be consistent. Remember they added fins for heat sink and the guys name on the part. They also increased thickness. However they printed the original part without all that for some unknown reason. I bet if you want to have something like this in your shop with printing metal parts, I would expect a price tag for all this equipment can be anywhere from $300 000.
I wonder how they do it. The plastic part could be used to make a mold for casting. Or the digital model could be used to machine a part with a CNC machine.
If they are using it to make patterns for casting, How do they deal with the issue of shrinkage...Would seem to me that they would have to consult a real pattern maker in order to compensate...
One or two problems with the video, 1) the first printed part was not the same as the design. 2) they didn't show how the 3d data might need to be tidied up using mesh processing (auto?). I think 3d scanning has been possible for a while, a simple version can be implemented with a video camera, a stick (yes, or a baton), and a spotlight. The object is rotated and the stick moved up and down etc. or you could buy a Kinect Camera (for xbox360) and use the depth mode (laser array) to make one.
What type of material is the print made of? would it really be good enough to withstand the same amount of pressure and heat? not sure what that part they printed is specifically but theoretically speaking.
Do you mean a CAD mill machine. that's not a 3d "printer", it removes material, not adds it, like a 3d printer. And Jay mentioned casting it, not milling it. I want to see the casting process, especially on those irregular shade parts.
here in mexico it will be pretty easy, we have a piece of machinery called ¨torno pantografo¨ it can take anithing done with any material and reproduce it in metal pretty shure you have that in the us too, i just dont know how you call it.......
Absolutely amazing technology, can scan anything(if the girl who showed us one of these at a maching convention a few months back is to be believes), I'm yet to find a material it cannot scan.
appreciate your explanaition but unfortunately i still do not understand. i dont understand how the printer could "print" out working gears all in one single, connected piece without actual assembly.
Ping didn't discuss Geomagic. What she was showing were 3D Printed parts from a 3D Systems Printer. 3D Systems acquired Geomagic earlier this year. Where 3D printing shines is fit and function. Anyone who has ever built dies or fixtures knows exactly what I'm talking about. The best designs in the World have to be proven before production. Why not 3D print the part and perfect the design (fit and function) before machining? Massage, Scan, Create STL Model, 3D Print and repeat if necessary
I was wondering if you have to increase the size of some of the printed plastic parts to make up for the shrinkage you get after you pour or mold it out of metal. Can you increase the total size of your plastic printed part to make up for shrinkage % age? I believe you may get up to 7% reduction in size when the part cools down after poured!!! I have purchased a Mascot for my 34 car, & all of them I have seen are slightly smaller in size then the original dimentional part. GREAT VIDEO
THIS IS simply AWESOME TECH....I LOVE IT !!! Everyday I am enlighted with the 3D TECH...I one day will own a 3D PRINTER for my art ...til then I can enjoy via these videoes...THANK YOU MR. Leno JASoN EDMONTON,ALBERTA,CANADA.......
The part from the printer was not the modded part with the heat sinks. Nice, but that scanner was waaaay more tech than necessary. They have nice 3D scanner cameras now. Great stuff Jay Leno!
Jay, what's that piece made of - PLA? Doesn't it kind of have to be made of aluminum or steel at the very least to withstand the high temperatures that would rapidly destroy a piece of plastic?
+Brian Brewster It's ABS or PLA. This is a regular FDM printer, but you could do it with an SLS printer. But... remember, SLS metal is worth it's weight in silver.
+Spirit haven't heard of sls metal, but wouldn't there be an advantage to printing out of a material that could melt easily and casting the part out of whatever metal you wanted? Kind of like wax pieces used in casting.
its just printed with all of the tolerances that normal gears would have,you can actually down load the data to make that exact gear ball for free. Also there are websites that will host your designs and print it for you so you dont have to buy the whole printer.If somebody else buys your data from your design you get a payment from the printers. Its really new way of doing things.
Im bringing 100 of these to village kids who work with metals and get them fast tracking on manufacturing. 3D printing will revolutionize african manufacturing in the 21 century.
Instead of the part being in plastic, what can be done is what's known as the lost casting method where the plastic part is made as a cast in clay or a sand type medium where the casting is left in and bunt out, and then the metal is poured,,a whole new non plastic part is then made.
Amazing technology. I would like to know the costs involved. What does the scanning and manufacturing equipment cost? How much was the cost of the piece you had made. Assuming you would have paid for it. Great video!.
With software, scanner, etc I spent about $102,000.. its incredibly difficult to use. The video here skips all the actual processes and keeps showing the end results.. I can tell you from experience its not nearly as simple as they want you to think it is.
What I don't understand is are the parts made from plastic or actual aluminium or steel. If its aluminium or steel I want to see that done and is that process the old fashioned casting method..
@mtktm It is sent to a machine shop, nothing special, although they do have 3d printers that print metal but their expensive and is not accurate. The plastic model they make is just to see if it fits (I work wit a 3d printer much like jays)
We'll see if that's good or bad. SpaceX seems to always be fighting to introduce unsafe practices in order to reduce costs. What I mean is, while it's understood that these things *can* be 3D printed, I'm not sure I'd want SpaceX's 3D parts.
You can 3D print metal parts using metal powder that gets melted layer by layer with a laser or an electron beam. You could also build a mold from the 3d model and cast the part but thats a waste of money if you only need one part.
Maybe I missed something, but how is a plastic piece supposed to hold up within the conditions of an engine? These are just prototypes. It would still have to be machined at some point. Correct me if I am wrong..
If ya want a Faro 3D Laser Scanner, There's a used one listed on EBAY, is only $60,000 starting bid.. *Yes, that's right 60-Grand* starting bid.... But you'll make that 60 grand back quick scanning antique car fenders and making them from Carbon fiber or even fiberglass.

This is absolutely incredible
I can't wait for things like this to take over and make restoration much cheaper
Fantastic demonstrations of some of the wonderful technology that is in 3D.
Thanks for sharing this Jay.
Fantastic! Can you show how you go from the plastic part to the metal part?

+S Grunt yes u can scale it up to what ever you need
I want to work for Faro. They make some of the most useful metrology tools.
+J Lang I'd hate to do the calibration of that arm.
+Willie Stubbs eh, it only takes a couple minutes usually. Not too bad
You didn't discuss what kinds of materials can be 3-D printed. Or, are you milling the part in that box?

Wow! Thanks!
Hey Jay! Do you think you could make a part two, where you show us how the garage turns plastic parts into metal parts, ready for install?
There are 3D printers that can print in metal and normally they use a laser beam to weld tiny particles of metal powder used for printing. There are not really new thing and they are on the market for a few years. But anyway the video does not seem to be consistent. Remember they added fins for heat sink and the guys name on the part.

So does Jay use these parts to make the molds to sand cast his parts?
If they are using it to make patterns for casting, How do they deal with the issue of shrinkage...Would seem to me that they would have to consult a real pattern maker in order to compensate...
Why didn't you print the modified one?
Ricky Lee it's a car from the 20's and Jay is restoring it not modifying it
Nice Video Jay! Thanks for sharing the new technology with us all.
I can steal Jay's cars with this technology? Sold!
Awesome video. I love that scanner. Best Jay Leno Garage vid yet!

First time I saw this machine was on American Chopper,Paul Jr. Designs built a bike for Faro. Cool machine.
Is this old footage? The last flight of the Space Shuttle was over a year before this video was published.
Jay is still funny as ever
How they scanned the lower part of the first piece? :O
Seriously. How
YEA! HOW?
Star Trek, Jay. It's like a replicator.
Absolutely amazing technology, can scan anything(if the girl who showed us one of these at a maching convention a few months back is to be believes), I'm yet to find a material it cannot scan.
He mentioned casting. thats the process that I want to see. since most of those parts are irregular non structural parts.
I think we need to start cataloging vintage car parts and post them online for people to print
:D What an age we live in
Is her necklace thing a head mirror?

yes one has to factor in the shrinkage %age too.
i think it's printed, not cast...
3d scanning is actually more important than 3d printing
soo how hard would it be for them to print a headlamp?
What was the CAD software?
wait a minute. how did he laser scan the underside of the part with the hollowed out base
Jay, What a man, never stop making contents
just how strong are the parts that are printed out do they actually hold up long-term

These machines only produce plastic models, then you need to cast Aluminium or Steel based on that model right?

How much is the scanner? They dont have a price on their website.

i wonder how many days took to scan that gargantuan jaw of leno hahahaha
SpaceX is 3D printing injector valves for their Merlin engines, and their SuperDraco engines are fully 3D printed.
We'll see if that's good or bad. SpaceX seems to always be fighting to introduce unsafe practices in order to reduce costs. What I mean is, while it's understood that these things *can* be 3D printed, I'm not sure I'd want SpaceX's 3D parts.
What is ghe website
You can 3D print metal parts using metal powder that gets melted layer by layer with a laser or an electron beam. You could also build a mold from the 3d model and cast the part but thats a waste of money if you only need one part.
Love it, Jay. Thanks for the video.
lol that last part was to funny
Faszinating!
gotta love jay...hes a good bloke ;)
Yes but, will it blend?
A perfect match Jay! Next have them do you hind end :-)
beyond cool.amazing.
incredible
Thats cool and all but, Will it make dubstep??
You can't fool me - you *did* scan it, but someome took the time and modeled the part in CAD again.
Maybe I missed something, but how is a plastic piece supposed to hold up within the conditions of an engine?
These are just prototypes.
It would still have to be machined at some point.
Correct me if I am wrong..
make a cast from it
you can print metal parts. it's a printer that uses metal powder and fuse it together.
Must make billions this year.
If ya want a Faro 3D Laser Scanner, There's a used one listed on EBAY, is only $60,000 starting bid.. *Yes, that's right 60-Grand* starting bid.... But you'll make that 60 grand back quick scanning antique car fenders and making them from Carbon fiber or even fiberglass.
