I LOVE the essentium machine and really cool to see the company develop. The shade thrown "we don't charge you extra to print PEKK" I know exactly who he's talking about and it's amazing that they're challenging them with a machine at that price point!
Not to mention, you can tell the man KNOWS every detail and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable rather than just sticking to talking points that many seem to do.
That first guy knows how to make a sale. He's not selling proprietary garbage, he's selling The Machine. Very cool 'tool' also, granted I don't have space for it, but man look what you could do with it vs industrial machines where you'd need a full shop of tools and craftsman to do the same thing. If you're a budding aerospace contractor with limited manpower but high skills, this would be a great way to land contracts for the big boys. Edit: Scratch that, all these guys have amazing products with great user pathways that actually improve upon the established quotient. That is what we need; better prints quicker than what you can produce with traditional means.
The Essentium ESD and cleanroom safe prints are really interesting. We spend time and money machining trays and fixtures for cleanroom equipment and processes that need to be customized for every product we build. Depending on the tolerances (or maybe with some selective machining) and range of ESD-safe materials, this might be able to speed up some of our development cycles.
Mark from SAM has to be one of the most honest and genuine reps I've seen interviewed. The integrity he radiates would certainly make for an easier decision to support that company.
Joel, you are the man for this job, because you know what questions to ask! Hi 5 ✋🏻 This just really gets me so excited for the future, to see, perhaps for the first time, a point of difference, where 3D printing may actually create a cheaper product than past mass production could do. And next year 3D robotics are going to the moon already! Out of this world 🤯 (I'll see myself out: Sorry. Couldn't resist)
WOW the Essentium machine is amazing and at a reasonable price considering their target market. Thanks for the video. Always nice to see what the big boys play with 😲😲
Joe you're having alot of fun out there. I can't get enough of your show. You got into this and now i am 4 printers in, an additive manufacturing specialization, and working on working on a second additive specialization so thank you sir.
There is one single thing, that is more impressive than all the things they print with these machine, its the minds behind them, that made them work, make them do things no other had thought of before, that my good people, is the amazing thing about inventions!
Speaking of monster 3D printers, im working on a project called monster delta, me and my team are working on a delta like youve never seen. Might send one your way when its done ;)
I was there Monday and Tuesday. Crazy show. Should've done a segment on the resin printer that can print a 1mm dia gear with a hole in it. The visible quality under the microscope was astounding.
"So you have a leaf blower on the machine". "Pretty much, yeah. We just don't have a pull start on it". Needing out with tech talk, while maintaining a sense of humor. FTW!
That Thermwood needs to get into the comsumer/civilian market! It'd be really cool to have a hulking desktop printer like that, & the pellet & glue system seems like it works really well although ABS is going out of style
I don't know how I did it but I recognized Avi of Nexa3D from when he was advertising the Cube printer for 3D systems. I remember how confident Avi was about that machine which by the time I saw the video had been failing on the market for a good year or two already. These are the guys that make it reguardless of whether a company does or not.
As an Arcimoto shareholder, it's awesome to see the FUV getting attention anywhere, but when it involves my favorite hobby of 3D printing I'm even more pleased. It's great to see the improvements they have made, and I really hope this is included in production at the new factory, and they are able to scale this up to the 50,000 units a year volume required for mass manufacture. It's so cool seeing how 3D printing is helping improve the usability of Electric Vehicles going forward. It was also fun seeing that stool take the "Full Joel" Like A Boss. I hope they share that file at some point. It would be nice in smaller scale as a pot plant stand. Seems really solid. I reckon I could probably make a decent copy of it though if they don't wanna share. LOL.
@@3DPrintingNerd You're going to love it. See if they will let you ride the new secret mini tilt scooter (well that's what I suspect they've built). Just remember, with any EV, go slow and work up to fast. You don't want to do what Elon Musk did, and goose the throttle and crash it. Have fun, and thanks for all the great video's over the last 5 years or more I've been watching.
What a great show that was. Can't wait for the next video from the show. Love seeing what the industry can do when you have more money to spend. So cool ! Thank you for sharing with us.
Had a chance to finally sit down and watch the 3 series of videos on TCT. Thanks for the coverage Joel! I am super interested in non-marring ESD materials! Modeling with ESD in mind is difficult as it limits material choices.
I think the test on industrial additive manufacturing should be the Naomi Wu test. Like the Turing test, but in making the closest to human copy of Real Sexy Cyborg. That way we know we are at least half way there in making a non sexy human copy....
You should print a tree fort that looks like a tree or maybe a spaceship, or a plastic boxable home that is amphibious next. I can get you a great deal on star trek shirts.
Man, whatever happened to fifth axis printing? It was really big a few years ago and now nothing. I was hoping it'd start to filter down to home machines by now, but instead it disappeared. weird...
There are a couple of prosumer grade printers out there with fifth axis and customized Cura algorithms, but they're a few thousand each and even the ones where the rotational axes are on the tool carriage have small build volume.
is it just an impression or most of the machines in this video do not have the nozzle fan? as the man at essentium said, to have stronger bond (as for nylon) you turn off the fan. what is your experience?
2022 is gonna be interesting, some quite significant 3D Systems patents expire next year. And no. Patents are _not_ cool in this space, and especially not by these companies. They're the ones that have consistently held 3d printing back 20 years.
This is very cool, some new cutting edge technology, always a joy to watch. That stool they made is very nice. But printing it in solid will could cost a couple of hundred for material don't you think? So it is nice, but not really super viable as a business i guess. But still cool!
UV chambers, wouldn't be too expensive to make I guess?? Right??? Maybe?? :) And that 179K for the essentium is actually really cheap! I mean, million dollar machines are normal in businesses. Very nice.
I just wish the advanced high temperature polymers would get cheaper to the point it isn't the machine limiting their usage, I even thought of getting a high temperature hot end and bed but.... damn don't think I would spend hundreds of dollars on a one kilo spool, tho I bet they only tend to get cheaper with time as well. You guys that have been printing for way longer than me probably can tell the evolution in PETG pricing and such.
For anyone else wondering, @2:15 he says "thousand-pound gaylords". At first I thought this was some kind of rude, crass joke, but actually a "gaylord" is an industry term for a giant, pallet-sized box. They are often used to store bulk raw materials like pellets and resins. Who knew?
@@3DPrintingNerd Cool! thanks! I was just thinking that they had said how fast it was printing some specific parts, but I was kind of thinking of an apples to apples comparison.
I'd enjoy this if my workshop wasn't destroyed in a b&e. Sorry Joel. I may have to unjoin the chan to save up money. Music and technology are my passion and 90 percent of what I have accumulated is gone. At least they left me an old Jackson guitar that I'm restoring, a 5 string bass that was by pure chance in a different room at the time and broke everything with a display ot was in a shelf. Didn't touch my printers though as I'm sure they didn't know what they were. In their excitement broke my ps5 and left it. It's just stuff though ehh. Insurance doesn't cover the prs guitar I bought when I could finally afford a guitar worth more than a few hundred or the passion for making by teaching myself to code again led to as a way of dealing with mental illness ... sorry. It's not anyone but my problem. None of it is covered either because I didn't report it to police within a reasonable time apparently. I was 37 before I could afford a decent guitar, 23 years after I began playing.
@@3DPrintingNerd no worries man. You didn't do it but I appreciate it. I know who did and they couldn't help it. Long story brother, I have it all back but it's all in pieces so I salvaged some ram and an old gpu plus some other stuff but the rest is e-waste, splintered wood and garbage now. Can't press charges on cancer if it kills someone so. Cryptic, I know and I'm sorry but I'm more hurt by sentimental value loss than money to replace. I'm not making any sense. Sorry, I had to vent. Thanks for the kind words, you're a real person.
These companies seriously need to stop misusing buzzwords like "utility." There is absolutely nothing utilitarian about that "FUV." It's got about as much utility as my motorcycle.
Well, let’s see…. Three wheels, so more stable than a motorcycle. Frame, so more protection from other vehicles. Frame, so more protection from the elements. These are being touted as delivery vehicles, and for First Responders. They have utility… Maybe not for YOU, but many folks will find them utile….
@@ernestgalvan9037 mhm but doesn't every vehicle fundamentally have utility? It has some method of propulsion and can carry someone or something. Otherwise, it would be a sculpture. So a buzzword that doesn't even mean anything.
