Andrew Sink!!!

[@AndrewSink]

Hi!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I AM PINNING THIS.

[@bullzebub]

carbon sink!

[@Thefabfarm250]

But does he float???

[@krater_void]

LOL!!!

[@MakersMuse]

Andrew works at Carbon now!? Awesome haha. I love that they're actually putting their tech into production parts that consumers can buy unlike so many other 3DP companies that live in R&D land. I'll never own a Carbon 3D printer, but I'm keen to own some shoes printed on one! 😂

[@AgentPothead]

You can really feel his enthusiasm and tell he loves what he does.

[@printedprops8730]

Sounds like a marketer / sales rep

[@AgentPothead]

@@printedprops8730 Lmao most marketing and sales people don't have anywhere near that level of enthusiasm for the products they are shilling.

[@lordwafflesthegreat]

@@AgentPothead Yes they do, if they are good at their jobs. Basically 70% of people in booths are from the sales team, people who know how to fake emotions and manipulate people into buying. Basically, good sales people/actors. Source: Worked in advertisments for a while

[@AgentPothead]

LMAO you honestly can't tell the difference between a sociopath fake upselling and somebody with actual emotions? Because most sales and marketing people are super creepy with their fakeness. This guy feels real.

[@lilmrmagoo]

this is crazy inovative. its such a simple concept at the base but so pratical and really shows the power and utility of 3d printing. just mimicking the structure of a material like foam gives the print very similar properties so intresting.

[@Superabound2]

Metamaterials

[@paintballthieupwns]

The infectious energy! Made me smile several times but not in a cheesy way.

[@HowIDoIt]

So glad to see Andrew! The tech is cool, but it's Andrew Sink!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

ANDREW SINK!

[@riggsvsoliver]

This is insane! I can’t wait until maybe the consumer market can see something like this, there is so many cool applications for this

[@RobertRiggin]

That outro though 🤌

[@rcmaniac25]

Andrew Sink! I'm probably getting some of those shoes too but love the mix of densities and the different feelings they provide. It makes the possibilities of the parts you can make much bigger then "I need 5 parts of different materials, an adhesive that can bind them (but will inevitably cause the part to fall apart), and then a bunch of post processing" to become "print... ok, it's basically done"

[@dfrosted]

This is awesome tech. We need indestructible bike inner tubes made of this.

[@B1GJano]

great episode! Love seeing these present day applications!

[@olafb.2929]

Really great idea and how they turned it into real products. Great job!

[@Mr_Wayne]

I remember hearing about these guys a year ago or so. This is really the future of 3D printing.

[@davel9130]

One thing I don't think I heard mentioned is that this could also be used for custom-fitted applications pretty easily. I get that the goal is mass production, but the technology would work great for one-offs, too.

[@TheHadi545]

Tooooootally. You could even do things like “walk correction” by analysing your walking behaviour and designing a shoe around that

[@janosadelsberger]

I've mixed feeling about the material - copolymers are just made for the landfill. There is absolutely no way they can be recycled economically and especially with disposable consumer products we need to go the other direction. The backpack paddings for example can also be produced in sintered TPU which is recyclable and therefore better than conventional padding. The Oechsler booth next to Carbon had a Deuter pack made this way, Vaude also had one.

[@scotter_dotter]

Wow! Another great video. Joel you are a great interviewer ❤.

[@DWIT3D]

Just wow!

[@dim1723]

Amazing when big companies take the time and money to invest and almost future tech comes out of hobby things.

[@AuthenTech]

Fascinating! Hope these guys are at CES, I wanna try it out

[@cavemandanwilder5597]

I got entirely the wrong idea when I read “printed with carbon” in the title and saw a part made in a jet black material the color of charcoal.

[@anystrap404]

I'm so stoked for Carbon3D! I remember when they first came on the scene with their rapid printing and it's very cool to see them continue with such great momentum. I would LOVE to have a business that justifies needing one of their printers. =]

[@Centurion3D]

That is great! Wow!

[@AlphaMachina]

That "sponge" would be a perfect dampener for suspension systems, or bigger one's printed like that as fenders on the sides of boats and ships.

[@FABIZN7]

Even though it’s advertisement wich you normally try to avoid it’s super interesting! Learning a lot from your videos on this expo ! ❤

[@NexGen-3D]

Thanks for a very informative video, I find TPU and TPE some of the best materials to make things with, very versatile and very durable, I love that hex lattice structure, I might give this a shot myself.

[@eightballsidepocket]

Very cool technology. I really hope the production units have a skin layer though, especially the helmet pads. Those spindly lattices are gonna dig into skin over time and become rather uncomfortable. Shoes should probably have them too. I can see debris easily making its way into the lattice but good luck getting it out.

[@robblincoln2152]

I was thinking the opposite-how cool that you can take the lattice out, give it a soapy bath and bam-o!-no greasy helmet liner!

[@arnaudj-d1896]

Extremely interesting ! Very nice conversation, loved it !

[@ShellySavesTheDay]

This looks so rad!!

[@marsgizmo]

Andrew is the best! 🤘😎

[@nightfox6738]

Imagine being able to 3d print shoes... I hate having to search for shoes that I like then when I find something I like have it go away by the time I need new shoes. I could literally just 3d print the same thing whenever I need a new pair... This is awesome.

[@CanuckCreator]

Loving these recent vids

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Dude, thank you!

[@a178design]

Like bone structure, denser on the outside for strength, sparse inner for weight reduction

[@daviddiegel1239]

Carbon is doing some really unique and cool things with materials and printer technology. I look forward to learning more about this printer and the materials options.

[@oscaranderson1822]

I like that product!

[@makedaevilmage]

Wow the guy has such an amazing positive energy

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

The Black Panther Adidas is fire! 🔥

[@_Kensky]

my jaw dropped now, wow!

[@JeffDrennen]

Love the expression on Joel's face in the opening to this video.

[@quasa0]

so good

[@danfarrik]

You guys are so American. I love it. ❤

[@tomyocom5886]

There you Go......perfect!

[@Aikano9]

It also looks to significantly improve airflow, which is especially great for helmets and other wearables used in warm environments

[@Jamer508]

I wonder if you could use the Dynamic lod software they use for their cad model to generate dynamically detailed 3D models in video games/virtual applications.

[@SquatSimp]

This is amazing! I want one lol

[@timha4102]

So the design looks cool and sci fi, but I would add a protective outer layer so not every bread crumb or small pebble gets stuck in your mesh 😅

[@jwstout007]

6:13 got an audible laugh out of me :D

[@JustLocal]

OK, we are getting there!

[@Arcadenut1]

I have a Hockey Helmet that has a 3D printed interior and it's awesome. Not cheap, but my head is worth the extra cost. The foam ones suck because the foam hardens over time and it's just as bad as not having a helmet.

[@zimmy1958]

WOW great outro

[@Infernoblade1010]

Further proof that 3d printing is the future of manufacturing!!!

[@AnthraxVX]

thats basically how they print the shields in dune

[@mtbmarkot]

This is a very cool way to work with 3dprints. I'm a cnc spec in prototyping pu an ealstomere seals, in hope we will work this in way the nere future! I'm very hard impressed! Because i own a printer for my self ^^)

[@DJKingArthur]

The outro is amaing

[@nlingrel]

Didn't even cover the coolest thing about Carbon Pinters. They print continuously. No backoff and reapproach. It's really wild.

[@Phazaar]

Wut??? How??

[@nlingrel]

@@Phazaar for real. it's called CLIP. Continuous Liquid Interface Printing. look it up.

[@Phazaar]

@@nlingrel Wow - just looked it up. That's brilliant. Do want!

[@zeekjones1]

Now I want to get a seat cushion custom made of this stuff, but... But at the current market value, and the size... I'll just go scrap some foam pillows.

[@studioLCTRL]

Are these recyclable and better for the environment?

[@juan.2438]

3D printed clothes, yes!

[@PhiTonics]

Very cool, I would be curious how the would perform in motorcycle padding, for impact absorption 👍

[@sinanisler1]

wtf that outro epic O_O

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Right? SO GOOD.

[@TheJttv]

I am really partial to Ntopology but these guys doing cool things aswell.

[@soundkodz4439]

What 3d printer are you using ?

[@theillitistpro]

Two too many nerds here, subscribed.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Welcome!

[@chandlerwood7599]

man zoned out 1/2 the time

[@plan9203]

I wonder how that lattice would be in a pillow. Soft, yet won't allow heat to get trapped in the area you are laying on.

[@90candelarioL]

Would it be possible to 3D print a shirt with specific qualities? Like to compensate for the loss of muscular skeletal stability? So that different parts of the shirt aid certain muscles and tendons so they don’t absorb as much force, for muscles that are severely injured?

[@anonimouse8918]

Very cool stuff .... when will we be able to send our dimensions (in some vaguely standardized file format) to a high volume motorcycle helmet manufacturer and have them deliver a helmet we know will fit perfectly? same question shoes and clothes.

[@yomamajo]

Where is this tech today??

[@thingswelike]

I really would like 'conformal' infill. I need to make this happen.

[@mr_doublebutt]

especially if you could "paint" different densities onto the part

[@odw32]

This already exists (in some fashion)! The Cura slicer has a "Cross infill density image", where you provide a PNG with gradients which is used to increase the density of the fractal-like cross-infill. It doesn't allow any custom lattices though, and I don't think Prusa Slicer supports anything similar.

[@beer777777]

Would love one at home but a subscription, seriously? The M2 system costs $50,000 per year and the L1 $250,000 per year, both with a minimum 3-year contract. i hope in 10 years consumers will have this level of tech standard for a grand or so.

[@MakerBees333]

Really gotta wonder both for the shoes and the Helmets… how hard is it to clean? Does it hold stink like gen1 foams did? So many questions. I saw those helmet pads before this video came out on their website and the reviews were 50/50, plus my questions… we need Joel to Feild test that helmet for us 😊.

[@S0Fr3shThisKid]

I don't see why they wouldn't hold up in an isopropyl alcohol dip

[@__--JY-Moe--__]

glad 2 see nothing's ''washed out''!! cool stuff, in a hot technology!! good luck! *conformal* I learned it!! shoe5 !! *ease of use is Paramount* 4 the future!

[@__---PlaceSpace---__]

Conformal lattice! symmetry/ symmetrized lattice! no 1 remembers! call it symmetrized conformal lattice!! the end! it's still kicking!

[@stevec9205]

Feels like a mattress of this stuff could be coming soon 🤔

[@harris977]

Future NPR roadshow

[@JohnLeeCaskey]

Cool, but what's the advantage over just using regular foam which seems like it would be far cheaper and faster to produce?

[@sithinstructor]

Regular foam needs shaping but also cloth coverings to be practical. Sewing those takes a lot. These printers can just kick out ready to use parts in any shape.

[@M1America]

That bicycle saddle would be perfect for supporting my taint.

[@L3X369]

a new slicing method coming soon to prusa slicer, a bit later on cura, and in 3-4 years in simplify 3d =))

[@NuncNuncNuncNunc]

@7:20 Is that the most ergonomic switch?

[@cryptotex420]

Can the foam float? Thanks

[@hotrodmobile]

Never! I say never run in these boots on the sand!!!

[@1powelrainbow2]

Nice...but no can do if it doesn't come as filament for my printer 😆

[@Roskellan]

When you said carbon I thought you meant PA-CF (nylon Carbon Fiber) :-) Then I thought Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, think I'll have a cup of tea. So its printing foam, but not carbon at all, kind of (not confused at all). I wonder what TPU inc make (3D diamonds perhaps) :-)

[@VigneshBalasubramaniam]

Tested did a great video talking to Carbon and Adidas about what it took to make those shoes.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

LOVED the Tested video!

[@mndlessdrwer]

And then in 20 years I'll be buying a 3D printed mattress.

[@suicidequad]

in 2ß years your robot will compute a 7d mattress in eternal cyberspace for you

[@uno6504]

His voice sounds like it's in 1.5x speed.

[@kencrypt2535]

Whats the name of shoes?

[@DanFrederiksen]

Squishee!

[@nbmfan]

i would imagine that helmet "foam" would be super breathable too

[@dtec30]

hmm possibilities in space

[@SaperPl1]

Interesting...

[@JonS]

Very cool. These are a form of mechanical metamaterials. Materials where the structure changes the mechanical properties. I have the Adidas 4D Fusio Shoes. I get a kick (oh, that pun wasn't intended) wearing something that reminds me of something I'm passionate about every day. I also drive past their HQ on the 101 in Redwood City 4 times a day when I drop my daughter at school and pick her up.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Do you wave as you pass by?

[@JonS]

@@3DPrintingNerd I did this morning!

[@technosworld2]

I love the company, but their name can be confusing when reading youtube titles

[@VRtechman]

How soon before you can 3D print with Graphite or Carbon Nano tubes!? How small can we get a 3D printer to be!? 🤔

[@Coderjo.]

Of possible interest to everyone, a couple months ago, Adam Savage visited the Carbon headquarters, where they talked about the dual-cure resin tech among other things. video id is HmpK6cYUXu0

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I LOVE that video, and I mean, it’s Adam! We will be visiting Carbon HQ as well in the near future.

[@pernykvist3442]

Is it carbon mass or carbon fibers?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Carbon is the name of the company.

[@ogulfault3732]

at last

[@JT-Works]

I actually know the dude in the sports coat behind Joel, but I can't remember his name... it is killing me!

[@danne77sthlm]

That helmet inside made me go "I WANT IT NOW!" , since I am logging for my own firewood, those helmets are AWFUL to wear, in the summertime you get really really hot in them, and no air really on the insides to releave you from that, this would solve that issue in a heartbeat!

[@nobirdsnomasters]

I imagine in the future the entire helmet would be printed like this and take into account moving heat away from places too.

[@VincentGroenewold]

"That's a fun word" is one of the best responses to company mambo jambo I've heard in a while. haha Very cool product though!
