Hello formlabs, I would like to ask about materials that are resistant to acids like pvc-c, pvd-f capabilities. I know that these materials are expensive and are having a niche market, but I'd however like to know if there are capabilities to reach a good result.
This is very impressive. But tbh, the state bionic limbs are in general despite the huge progress in AI, robotics etc, is somewhat lackluster. Is the market for these things so small that companies just don't invest?
Most 3D printing resins will deform over time. They are not made to last long and stay robust. I would argue that even for low production, these printed parts are not suitable for long-term use. (We have several Form 3s in our shop, and they are definitely one of the best tools for prototyping.)
Honestly the tech is cool. But this isn't an Apples to Apples comparison or even a fair comparison at all. Resins are much different than the thermoplastics and in most cases are weaker. Additionally the injection molding here was significantly slower and lower volume than any serious production would yield.
Cool video but you've just cherry picked your cycle time to suit the study. From the video that 2 cavity mould is running a cycle time of 50 seconds. Ive a medical manufacturing backgroup and we have extremely conservative holding times and our cycle times are about half that. I've worked in high volume manufuring where 64 cavity moulds have cycle times of 3.5 seconds. 3D printing is great and has its place but injection moulding is almost always a better process for high volume manufacturing of plastic products.

Nice! Now it's only time to get Price lower for Consumer. A Company is 24/7 working and earn Money. Consumer Market is very different to Business Market. Less Money, more Custumers to service. Same as CNC or other "industrial" Applications. Only Company that i know is PRUSA, because Businesses Machine for Customers and the other Way. Every body is happy. If you look to other as FDM. There is no Company out there like this. Formlabs bring SLS for less than 2000, closed Source open Source what ever, but be the first. But the Consumer Market fear Companies. Not always the First make the Money or NOT enough Money came back. Or Worst Case is you paying on top. Hahahahaha in the near Future no Cheap SLS at Hobby. Nice Video!!
We had the FORM2 here at work. When it worked it was great... BUT... It would break down and we'd have to get a replacement. We now have our 5th replacement up on a shelf waiting to be a door-stop. I was wondering when they'd come to their senses and get into the DLP format. The new machine looks meaty and capable. I just hope it's not a stinker and breaks down like the others.
I would guess there's no metal involved, just shiny. If this was attached to a robot for example, a mechanism could pull/push on the top "piston" part to achieve the same open/close mechanism as demonstrated here. I'm just a bit annoyed the grip part of the "fingers" don't align in the closed position. The angle needs an adjustment but the magic of 3D printing means a quick adjustment to the file plus a reprint should remedy this.
@@TheAndyroo770 can i get the drawing file of this part ? not STL but the one i can open on solidworks so that i can modify the front finger portion acording to my requirement.
