@@truantray FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, which is exactly what this is doing. Melted filament is just the most common version of this we see.
I'm still stuck on the Global Z and Small Z, like, GENIUS! There were what felt like a dozen crazy features crammed into this machine that got me all kinds of excited.
Pretty nifty. You know it's industrial when they don't even mention a price range let alone a fixed price. This is definitely in that "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." range.
They dont have a price for these large systems as there all different for every costumer. Theres no way there selling a size fit all product of that size and use
Oh wow! That dual z and the ability to print each on one model but different nozzles would be amazing. Really hoping Prusa XL finds a way to do that. This machine is massssive. Also, please print a Deathstar Play house haha
I sent the nozzle question to prusa once I saw the XL for the first time. The response I got was that it may not have it from the get go, but it could be added via software update. the difficulty probably lies in slicing it, and making UI for consumers like the MMU one
"You wouldn't download a car..." Well, I might need to print it in 2 parts. But I have long wanted to take an electric gocart chasse and 3D print different shells for it. So one day I can be scooting around in the Adam West Batmobile, or KITT, or something old timey.
Yep that dual Z is really cool. The idea of a micro Z, likely a A axis is really interesting! Would love to see that tech trickle down some! Have been keeping an eye on Massivit, they have a very cool line of machines!
What an Amazing industrial machine ! I was surprised to see the material bucket was only a 5 gallon pail. I would have thought a 55 gallon drum. Thank you for sharing this tech with us.
@@idoeylon5209 Yes I figured the amount used for the figures was low for there size, but the machine is capable of such large things in any density you want or so the video said. So Just being that large of a machine I would have thought a much larger resin jell storage. But I agree, they must know what they need as they seem to have it well thought out and working. Just amazing.
"And now in the 21st century, Rockwell Automation is proud to announce the updated MACRO Encabulator, with ultraviolet phase positional calibration enhanced by a combined non thermal matter flow accretion subsystem and gateway transfer of entity matrices."
seems to be about $200k not as bad as I was thinking it would be but I bet the 5000 series is over twice as much....look forward to seeing advancements in prototyping. It would probably make great molds for fiberglass manufacturing?
These machines are seriously impressive! I got to see this first hand at the IAAPA Expo (Amusment/themed entertainment industry conference) back in November where I saw first hand the prints they can do (and even some of the props made from Daniels Wood Land!) It is some of the coolest tech I've seen in my life.
If you love 3D printing, and you watch this video and don't get super excited, watch it again!! This machine is so cool in scale, but also in so many other ways, the small Z and global Z thing alone blew my mind, and then to have TWO built in ways to clean the nozzle... these are next level features. Thanks for sharing Joel, great content as always!! 😁😁
@@stonelambert I watched the video. But more importantly, I use one of these machines at my workplace. It doesn't cure to full hardness instantly, but gets harder as the layers climb and the same area gets re-exposed to the UV lights. A fresh layer has the consistency of cooked spaghetti. You can peel it up off the previous layer and it's still wet and sticky. So no, bridging is prone to failure and aggressive geometry can also end spectacularly if not adequately supported. Amazing machines, but they have their limitations.
Nifty. I love seeing these kinds of designs. So many seem to look at a 3D printer and go "I want it to be fast, detailed, and huge". I don't think we're at (or near) getting all 3 at the same time, but when it comes to "huge", people seem to just take a standard printer design and... make it bigger. Yet that probably introduces more limitations. So seeing how they do it (vacuum on the build plate, use of a "gel" of some sort as a material, having 2 independent gantries that are able to compensate for operating at different speeds and heights, etc.) is very cool. Everything shown appeared to be vase mode, so not sure if it can do infill. Regardless, thanks for showing it off. For the sake of a entertainment: giant flexi-dragon.
Giving that these machines likely print at much larger extrude width, and is almost infinitely good at doing overhangs, there is probably not much need to do infill. But otherwise I doubt there's any 3D printer that literally can't do infill because that's configured on the slicer, not the printer.
@@FlameRat_YehLon yes, though demo's like this usually show off the best a printer can do. They didn't show off anything but vase mode, so I asked the question
Good video. The ending reminded me of an old school Batman TV Show ending cliffhanger. “Will Mr. Freeze put the big chill on our crusading content creator? Be sure to tune in next time, Same Nerd Time, Same Nerd channel”!
Thats a nice printer and i want one. oh and on another note The Z-Axis uses trapezoidal thread screws and not Ballscrews, the Machinist in was crying at that moment you said that and saw the screws
Always fun to see my everyday machine here. I actually run two of these (a M1800 Pro and a M5000) with my colleague :D. We do sooo many fun, cool and huuuge prints with these machines!
@@vmr_1997 agreed. I'm currently training on an M1800 and the slicer software is like 3D print beginner mode. Hopefully in time I can figure out how to use something opensource to drive the machine so I have more control. It's still ridiculously impressive though.
Hey man my company is on the fence on these machines, wouldn't mind being able to talk to you if you're cool with it. We got a test part of something we would use the machine for and the part was very sticky, and the report for how long it took wasn't too had but the 41% support material added by them for supporting the walls was kinda wasteful. I'm still trying to get a clear picture of what the limitations are because it seems like I stumble upon more and more as I look in to it. Thanks in advance
Sky is the limit :) . You can see a rocket here that was printed for projection mapping. It's a great addition for events ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-waCXRXnT528.html
Thank you so much for covering these machines because I’ve been looking at them and seeing what they can do. They are so amazing. If I were to have one or two of them I’d use them to print things for things to be used for theatrical and movie productions and other projects. As well as I’d print life size version of characters from a video game because I feel they’d look better life size than the size that they are now and they’d can be used at conventions, at the companies headquarters, and at a museum that’s based on the characters.
I think the only way this would be helpful in using two nozzles at one would be to have them encircle each other during the printing layers to make a much faster print. two nozzles printing 1 print. Also i think it should print out a car like that lambo everyone kept talking about. Or maybe an exoskeleton suit or something like from robocop
If I had that, I’d be printing some massive Dino skulls and any jumbo props that would be too much work to piece together with smaller printers. Like a whole suit of armor pieces at once, large weapons.. etc. you could basically do a full cosplay armor in one go!
As a milling machinist this is really neat to see. It almost is set up like a milling machine with a built in control and all the servos in the rear. Super cool to see where additive manufacturing is going.
Except for the extruder, I don’t see any reason it would need 400 V. I suppose the weight of the bed is gonna take some powerful motors so maybe I take that back. But I’m pretty sure I could just build this thing for way less using essentially an Ender three motherboard stepped up with larger motors and slightly bigger extruder.
Looks great, but those are single walled prints or? I think this is great for prototyping for example car parts, like aftermarket body kits etc. Also i think they are also heavily invested in the boat scene or?
Hiya RedWraith , Gel Dispensing Printing technology is indeed used for wide body kits like this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A29oiCc4dxI.html as well as prototyping. It's also ideal for printing full-scale marine parts that can be lightly reinforced with composites. Here's one of the companies that use a Massivit 3D printer for it massivit3d.com/blog/5-questions-with-velum-nautica-lead-design-engineer-boze-radan/
You are right RedWrath. Automotive, marine, railway among other industries. For prototyping, but also customized end use parts are possible when reinforced.
Print 1: Naomi Wu and Hutslayer Leia. Print 2: Sam Starfall and Helix, if anyone ever makes a model. Print 3: Barbarella's videophone from "Barbarella", if anyone ever makes etc. etc. Print 4: Xev and Chiana, &etc. Print 5: a Lexx Moth &etc Most of the things this is good for, to me, aren't modeled yet, darn it! And #6, a set of Snow Goons, full sized- stl's DO exist- so I can delight my neighbors!
What to print with this huge build size ? Furnitures (table, chair, shelves, closet), spare parts for vehicles (cars, ATV, sled, side by side, boat, etc) or machines (bumper, console, skirts, protective covers, assembly jigs), complete Cosplay costumes, prototype for new home appliance (fridge, washing machine, dryer, oven), indoor and outdoor signage
Awesome machine. I would build body parts for cars, one off unique designs for fenders, hard tops, hoods, trunk lids. And bigfoot statues. Definitely Bigfoot statues.
Everybody in the start hyped for the giveway.... there is not only one there is none, jebated XD IWANT that, SO what im gona print? my Favorite girlfriend everyday , i dont want nothing with those FEeemales XD sorry with covid i lost all my friends and now they are ocupied talking with each other and being imaginary.
Interlocking movie set facades, use non permanent paint, would clean off easy for repainting a set for repeating assets, recycle into uncontaminated (paints) ammo for the next print after the shoot. Buuut I dunno what I'm talking 'bout though.
I wanna print a body kit for my 93 dodge stealth and some body parts for my 99 astrovan.. And some parts for my 07 hummer h2.. God the possibilities are endless
sadly i couldn't print myself standing up as a mannaquin or anything. (being taller than build height limit) So i'd have to slice my body in half, probably around the belt line - which then opens it up for fun gags. Make myself in a 2 part container that snaps together sounds kinda fun. lol
Its hard to know what to make on something like that but I would like to make furniture but have it be furniture that is so complex and intraket that a normal woodworker could make by hand. I would also like to make the coolest cosplay ever. A full sized Titan from Titanfall 2
i cant stand it when they dont give a price. go the the site and they make you jump through all kinds of hoops.... F that... you want to sell product? do a better job on sales and quit making your potential customers do all the work
I would love to print a statue of a friend of mine who passed away to give to his mother. He was a inspiration to many in our community and his mother is working to make a skatepark in his name for the community. A statue of him for the entrance would be a nice addition and an amazing way to commemorate him. If there’s anyway I can pay to have one of these made from a picture of him please message me. Thank you.
Why not print a V8 Engine for schools kids to see and how it works. if it works like a real engine but they can see all the gears and the cylinders and crank shaft and all and touch it. it could be a peace on the Smithsonian and easier to move. maybe some of the miner things could be printed in other colors.
