GIANT METAL 3D Printing! MX3D // Formnext 2024

[@deanallenjones]

I think the measurements weren't mm but 1.80 metres not 180mm otherwise that's the same size as an ender

[@vanessakitty8867]

@@deanallenjones I thought this as well.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

ender 2 even.

[@necrogami1]

yeah i'd say the dimensions were in CM not MM

Very cool video. Love to see all the different way everyone is thinking outside the box.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

I think the measurement is in cm, not mm...

My dream is a 3D printed car. I bet that thing could easily do an engine block. Garage manufacturing is getting closer.

[@NicMediaDesign]

That looks like a paper pulpers impeller 😊

[@Magician169]

Very intresting.

[@riccaruso7791]

Makes my 17 years in powdered metallurgy seem primitive. Wow 🤯!

[@only1muppet]

I wonder if the technology is at the point where it could be used for engines or aircraft parts? I live not far from a military base, I could see having a big business manufacturing all kinds of replacement parts for the base. Then setting up shop outside multiple bases across the country.

❤Great interesting video as always ❤

I would love to see a wire weld 3D printer that can also mill the finished part

[@seekn.knowlege3315]

They do. Look at the laser sintering mills.

[@SarahKchannel]

its a traditional robotic arm at the end of the day, the welder is just another end effector tool. It looks like this arm is a lighter version, maybe no ideal for milling, but take the stronger cousin arm and you can mill, grind and polish.

[@AndrewAHayes]

@@SarahKchannel Yeah I would want something resembling a traditional metal CNC, I have one that I use for milling wood and other light materials but anything heavier than aluminium would be a non starter, I have printed metal parts using BASF Ultrafuse and their baking service, but it costs a fortune and you have to get your part size increase to account for shrinkage spot on, or purposely print slightly over size for post processing by milling. I wouldn't buy any more of it!

[@SarahKchannel]

@ For a part like shown in the video a normal cartesian CNC wont cut it. You need a 5 or 6 Axis machine to do contours like they have.

[@AndrewAHayes]

@@SarahKchannel I I wouldn't be making anything like that, most of the parts I would make can be 3D printed on a regular machine, its just the finishing that I need a CNC mill for.

[@75keg75]

It like a 20000 dollar screw…. (630x30.99)

[@SarahKchannel]

On really technical and informative content like this, I would really like to have the memes gone ! I focus on the what is being said or explained, then the silly interjections is like somebodies phone ringing in the cinema.

[@SB-nt9fp]

Will really be something when they can do the machining step in the same machine. Very cool technology.

[@EddieLopez711]

Call Elon If he isn't doing it already, engine parts 3d printed easily and changed or updated in modeling the print.

[@TheresTyrannyAfoot]

@EddieLopez711 his entire jet assembly is already made like this....he can build a rocket faster then faa can move a permit from desk to desk
