wow! now we can order custom metal parts we design from our CAD just like PCBs. buying those SLMs wont really justify the cost/benefit for my hobby, aside from the mere fact that I would not be able to afford those machines in my lifetime. kudos to JLC for making the technology reachable to us.

High tech company, wooden chairs for the workers. Sweet that they care for their workers ;-)

[@monkeysfromvenus]

I've been in sooo many labs with expensive lab/workshop chairs and stools that were uncomfortable as hell. Countless times I've been soldering for hours and wishing for a normal chair that looks like those wooden ones. The real problem in the video is when they have to lower those steel plates onto the floor and those low rollers- seems like a nightmare for your back! I'm sure they'll iron that out eventually though

[@pytebyte]

nice video. some of these working steps look hilarious compared to the high tech printing process. getting a ladder to fill the printer at the top with a funnel while nearly spilling some powder into the machine. hammering the printing plate on the ground after printing. transporting the final printing plate with a career where you always have to lift the heavy plate to and from the ground instead of having it on a similar level like the printer window.

[@Life-of-Sammy-J]

Hammering the print plate on the ground is likely done to reduce the amount of particulates that float in the air

[@REDxFROG]

You really don't see any other solution? Lol and you like lifting?​@@Life-of-Sammy-J

Could be a reason but If floating particulates are a concern they could do It In a chamber with vibration or something.@@Life-of-Sammy-J

8:14 wow nice shot

[@DaisySparkling]

[@ausgeknipst]

Titanium Fidget Dragons? I am sold.

[@rjakiel73]

I can’t figure why these prints have supports? This is basically SLS with metal and SLS prints don’t need supports as the material surrounding the part at every layer is the support.

[@alexpavlov7962]

Hi, these prints need supports to prevent layer warping, because every layer resides heat and cooling stresses. So heat needs to be transfered to platform. Secondly, metal particles are much heavier than plastic ones Sorry for my language 😅

[@rjakiel73]

@@alexpavlov7962 so the need for supports and heavy post processing on parts to obtain finish is a game breaker. Especially for parts that need incredibly tight tolerances. Both the time to post process by hand and inaccuracy of manual support removal along with the possibility of damaging the work piece in the process makes this a very niche and unreliable method for metal parts compared to a quality 5 axis CNC.

[@sigmadesigners]

yes, you are right supports were absolutely not necessary.

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

@@rjakiel73 This technology is definitely still in the early stages. It won't be replacing machining any time soon.

[@Friariah]

​@@rjakiel73While yes, you're not typically going to have perfect tolerances right out the gate, this process paired with machining does things that just straight milling cannot. It also reduces to costs when it comes to prototyping be removing the need for mold making and things of that nature.

[@parentex1962]

I was trying to understand why it took 2 people to place the metal bar, and then 1 was enough to remove it and with the extra weight of the print, but then I noticed that the preparation bar had nothing to do with the final work, because one has 6 fixing screws and the other only 4. After all, he wasn't the superman there.

[@empatikokumalar8202]

If this type of printer processes, for example, 15 mm thick metal, will this metal be armor resistant against military small arms?

[@the_omg3242]

Seems weird that they're printing onto a metal slab then EDM cutting the parts off. I thought one of the big advantages of SLS printing is that you can print free floating parts.

[@jumpvelocity3953]

Probably for extra extra stability

[@ricklaser2846]

Nice one!, what metal powder do you use?

[@Bugnarok]

0:56 said .316 stainless steel powder

[@ricklaser2846]

​@@Bugnarok Thank you for your reply. I imagine that the machine uses a fiber laser of at least 200W. I have a 50W fiber marking machine which I use for deep relief engraving and cutting small parts on brass, silver and stainless steel sheets up to 0.8mm thick. Is there any powdered metal that melts at a lower temperature that I can test with 50W? Years ago I assembled a 3D printer with polymer powder and used a CO2 marking machine to melt the powder as hobby. I'd like to try it with a 50W fiber.

[@Bugnarok]

@@ricklaser2846 unfortunately I'm just a viewer here, I have no idea about the specs of the machine or anything related to it, sorry.

[@romeo032982]

It’s more closer too lazer printing than actual 3d printing it’s pretty cool but a long way from me being able to buy one for home use …. Bambuu get on it asap 😂

[@Warrentheo]

Why are support materials needed when there's still a bed of unmelted metal powder underneath?

[@stevebabiak6997]

It looked like that was used to prevent lateral movement rather than vertical

[@Friariah]

It depends on the angle of the section printed, the powder isn't packed down, printing on open powder causes an uneven surface that can damage the powder wiping arm, rip out the wiping material and ruin an entire print.

[@sheikoner]

Mira @McGybeer aquí se ve cómo hacen tu dragón! Sí que tiene soportes! Vaya no me deja mencionarte!

[@SantaDragon]

8:53 Omfg ... I always thought the powder is supporting enough. But obviously this is not a "buy" argument as I thought till now. So one advantage less of SLM.

[@Arturas1244]

its not chinese tech, why they trying to show like its theyr. it EU made. And noby will make like this like they showed.powder is very expensive, sometimes roller which adds sand fails and fails print. Than you print you pack evrything as close as possible, its like how you could use every space in kube possible. There is % of failed prints, sand can simply move. But biggest problem is price of sand type material used. And you must question capabilities of stufff made, can it be same as mold metal

[@Friariah]

The gas atomized powder is expensive, and varies greatly depending on material. 500kg of 718 Inconel will set you back between $40,000 and $50,000. Prints do fail, either from a poor layout on the plate, bad supports, or too low of a dose of powder per layer. With proper parameters, parts can have 99.8% density or better, so mechanically they will behave the same as a cast piece. The metal powder does not shift when building, however, stress created in the printed part can cause warping depending on the parts shape.
