He is a Ross Geller in real world😅

With respect, if you are aiming this at a technical audience, maybe present less blah-blah and more specific information at a higher level? In the first two minutes you mentioned the plant was in NY twice. I hope your next video is tighter and more informative :)

Benefits of titanium: almost as strong as steel. As light weight as aluminum. Extremely abrasive resistant Cons of titanium: Extremely bad at holding a sharp edge ( so very/Extremely bad for any kind of cutting tools )

Just another MIC ad.

Not to downplay how cool the printing is but the machining on that part is still very impressive those deep slots in particular

Boring, didn't show anything.

I honestly don't understand this drones are supposed to be cheaper to make Aunt buy so why would you make the wings out of a more expensive material like titanium when you we're using a cheaper material aluminum that doesn't really make sense to me

Are these vacuum tight?

peace could breakout at any moment...

You know it's sad to actually see this video and the technology that is being shared through social media. It's not the fact that it's great that another American invention has been created which is the lifeblood of making America great. It's that the insanity is that we're not keeping this a national secret or protecting our trade secrets from the Communist parties. Wake up they're looking into this and they're going to try to copy it so again your patents won't protect you from foreign communist dictatorships from stealing your information. 😢

Would have been more fun to watch if Stephanie was the star.

America is always one step ahead in production(innovation development etc. Well done to them . keep going ,don’t stop bettering

So, why not 3D print aluminum?

Better script, less frantic hand waving.

I am thrilled and deeply grateful to witness that Yankee ingenuity remains vibrant in America. This enduring spirit fills me with hope for a bright future for our nation.

WAAM

It would be far less money to just sand cast a slightly larger part than machine it to size.

Very impressive, things have sure moved on since Kelly Johnson's team built the SR71.

While it looks cool, comparing it to an outdated cooler design is not accurate. A modern micro tube heat exchanger would be far more efficient than the original cooler.

Omg!!! I LOve thiS chaNNel🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

If the USA can 3D print titanium parts, why didn’t Boeing buy titanium alloy parts from a US supplier for the Starliner? Instead, Boeing approved replacing the titanium alloy parts with aluminum alloy parts manufactured in India for the Starliner, which caused the Starliner to become stranded in space. This situation may endanger the lives of all the astronauts aboard the ISS.

Very dull video. It should have been cut away periodically to show the grinding and cutting process. I dunno, maybe the processes are too, “proprietary” to show. If so, they should have realized they shouldn’t try to make a 22 minute video without it. It was so boring. Shoot myself in the face!

Really Excellent video and information! Thank You🛡️

"save money on these aircrafts?" i always thought aircraft was the plural of aircraft. not "aircrafts"

Hopefully the wing stays on.

22 minutes repeating the same 3 PowerPoint bullet points. Let’s see the finished DED part against the aluminum original. The DED part shown is far from finished. Not much meat to the story, just hype. The post DED machining of the Ti part is possibly the most difficult aspect of the fabrication of this component, so how is it being accomplished and how much scrap is created?

FYI, "Sky Guardian" is a renamed Predator drone, and the "other types of equipment" it carries are explosives. To kill people with. If it was OK they wouldn't need to Orwell it.

As close to a Star Trek Duplicator as we have came yet !!!

So when will a home do it yourself become available ??? Need a tool part or whatever print one ... An entire engine could be made with very little machining...

With all the different types of wire available nearly any composition an materials abilities can be made !!! With very little wasted material and very complicated and complex designs made possible !!! Add computer design with expected goals ... As of yet the impossible suddenly becomes possible !!!

So when are building sized printers an robots going to build entire systems ???

Where do you get your titanium, where is it mined? Is it a locality mined priduct?

Aluminuminum and tititanninum

OMG, That guy is just to "Flamboyant" for me to watch.......

The Norsk guy reading from a screen in mono tone kind of ruined the video for me.

Nice ti cans

And it is much stronger and more reliable

Saying that additive manufacturing eliminates waste is incorrect. Reducing waste is more accurate.

This looks like a fancy way to lay wire.

You should see what we have under lock and key

finally a spacecraft a little bit stronger than aluminum

I like to hear titanium being less expensive than aluminum

That is really cool. Powder reuse will be a bit of an issue.

Dimensionally inaccurate parts and needs to have non-additive traditional manufacturing process. You have to use two methods at the same time.

Listened to the whole video without hearing what I wanted although possibly expected because if the most critical secrets were described then anyone might copy the process By this I mean that what was described was all matter of fact like creating a rough model of the finished product to minimize machining is common sense particularly when working with as rare, expensive and hard a metal as titanium. Although I'd expect scraps to be recycled, tiny particles approaching dust might be difficult to handle. But the really big and obvious issue is the strength of the final product using deposition because unlike forging or machining starting from an ingot the internal crystalline bonding structure is usually considered broken. So does this Norwegian company do the deposition in some special way? From the name of the process there is a suggestion that extremely high heat is applied like an arc welder but even that might not create the internal bonds to make 3D printing compete fully with forging.

Its now 14 times as expensive

From the couple of seconds, I saw of the deposition process I can partially reverse engineer it. They seem to be using a High Frequency Pulse Plasma welder (similar to the airco pulsearc). They are also using an electromagnetic arc manipulator used in shipbuilding to oscillate the arc back and forth. They obviously have some custom software controlling the welder and oscillator. I have often wondered how long it will be before we have CLOSED LOOP additive manufacturing that monitors the quality of the part while it is being made. If the process detects a defect in the weld puddle, it should be able to fix it in real-time.

Isn't aermet100 as good or better than titanium by weight? but perhaps it's at least as hard to work with. Maybe some kind of magnetic field shaping could refine the process so it isn't so beady.

A retired Engineer I have been 3D Printing for over 8 years to make parts for my 1950 Model Trains. I worked in Medical, Aerospace and Automation systems when working. I could see the possibilities to get the heat on these exotic materials was a problem. Then I saw concrete printing house frames. And FFP is making energy from Plasma Arcs on a small scale. Plasma ??? Now I see this and it is heart warming to see Plasma controlled to melt Titanium ina highly more efficient and effective process to use less material in waste and speed up production of critical parts. Very good work and I hope is able to be miniaturized for space station operations to fabricate spares as needed from rolls of wire. Point of use Production meets Plasma Deposition it a very good thing. Add some AI to the control logic for perfect print 100% of the time and get part Cad data for every viable part required, beam up new improved part shapes as needed, wow. D

This could be incredible for warfare, no? Silent and getting confused with real birds..
