Why 3D printing is vital to success of US manufacturing | FT Film 

Yeah I saw robotic brick layers and I think that has a much greater chance of being used

Nobody cares about all that. Didn't you hear her say climate change? If you say the magic words, a robot shows up at your lot and squirts out all that unimportant stuff and you can sit back and feel smart.

Thank you for even making this. This has inspired me.

@@davidmasaka6547 saw that too. Much more potential BUT this is competition that we are seeing. Well have to see.

They also imply that making a house of cement instead of wood is better on context of climate change (19:13). What a joke...

Yes! Additive Manufacturing includes 3D printing, but can be so much more. Printed electronics is an example. Huge opportunity for the US to catch-up with European companies and create high skilled, high paying, stable jobs.

This was just another hype video.. Zero discussion about downsides and how does it actually compete against "traditional" manufacturing methods.

in software architecture...we call it requirements gathering... then technology may or may not be the solution technology is just a tool it is nothing without human creativity

Succinct.

This isn't true. Lots of things will require high volume 3d printing. High performance aircraft and automotive parts REQUIRE 3D printing because certain shapes simply cannot be put in a lathe. For example, internal liquid thermal channels. You could never cast or lathe that. 3D printers are getting a lot faster.

I wish there had been internet comments in the 70s and 80s. I’m convinced some myopic muppet made similar remark about the CNC mill. Or the PLC. Or Bluetooth. Carry on.

@@AbuSous2000PR So Wise , Thank You

Speed of printing is increasing rapidly. Bambu Lab is the current market leader for high speed printing.

@@3DPrinterAcademy just going from merlin to klipper was eye opening, then bambu labs came out with their machines, and its amazing. I think the only problem we're running into now is heat-speed. CNC Kitchen did a great video on how high speed doesnt equate to strength. It reminded me of Carroll Shelby saying "There is never enough horsepower...just not enough traction", there is never enough speed... just not enough strength (at least when it comes to plastic)

@@savesilence 3D printing is indeed best for prototyping and low volumes but the costs for setting up a conventional production line aren't always "astronomical". For example the Prusaslicer print farm is printing a lot of small parts. These parts could be made by injection moulding.

Maybe 5 years ago, right now is super fast is you are not a cheapskate in your printing gear. You buy a bunch of enders, you get ender speed.

They need faster equipment and faster curing cementitious structural materials.

Thats dissapointing in and of itself. One, why you would follow something that dissapoints you so bad and second, do so for such a long time without witnessing, touching, feeling, using a quality part made by this process. I’ve been involved for two years and managed through much trial and error to “manufacture” some quite incredible parts that unless you had a trained eye, would know the source of it’s creation. I worry for you, that you are dissapointed by much in life. Keeping in mind, my focus isn’t creating characters, masks, or much of what actually has been popular for the home enthusiast. I’ve been using it to create functional items with an interest in prototyping and creating these parts for things that I design myself. I’d hope you find an interest in something that you find incredible and compels you to move forward and use it while enjoying the process itself. Good luck to you.

Really? In Melbourne the worlds smallest jet engine has been made by 3D print and its brilliant. The future is machines, not labour.

I'm not sure why you'd feel that way. My printer has opened up so many opportunities for me that it's downright silly. Brackets, mounts, enclosures, labeled panels, figurines, drilling templates etc. Made reproduction buttons and knobs for antique radios and telephones. People remark that they never would have known that my figurines were 3d printed if I hadn't told them. I had some IKEA cabinets with broken handles. Odd size that wasn't available at the store. Rather than order some at $8 EACH, I printed an entire set for about $1.50.

12 years ago yes it was a useless toy but the resolution and types of machines has massively improved

Sure Jan…

it just needs to be quicker🤔 a lot quicker....like how you print a document from a traditional paper printer.

The 3-D printed house is a gimmick, a neat demonstration of what is possible, not what is practical.

I think both methods have their advantages for different build types. Sometimes one can be more economical than the other depending on the design being built. I remember a builder doing on-site pre-fad concrete panel/slab houses about twenty years ago in Australia. It was offered as a cheaper option to a traditional house build. They would pour the foundation for the house and also a shed. Then, using the shed foundation slab as a base, they would build up the forms and pour them, one on top of the other, until they had all the pre-cast panels done. Then they would hire a small crane for one day, and use it to stand up, move, and place the concrete panels in their final positions. I'm not sure how many they built, or how good they actually were, but the idea was an interesting one I thought. Particularly if building a row of modest houses for disaster relief or affordable housing. Firstly they start by a crew moving along pouring the foundations one by one. The next crew then moves though building up the forms and pouring them. The first house's panels are poured on the next house's foundation slab beside it, and so on down the row. Then a crew with a crane moves down the row standing them up one at a time. After that, a roofing crew moves through, then an internal fit out and finishing crew. Anyway, just a thought....

Dont worry. only few really understand.

Yeah I saw a robotick brick layer and I think that is a better fit because it is faster and creates the same scaffold for other people do the plumbing, electrical work and other parts

Yeah ...let's try and 3d print the electrical system by code and see how much that will cost.....!!! HA. ha ...how many cooper wires can you print inside a plastic insulator , that are inside a plastic , or metal tube that needs to be printed as well at the same time , and all needs to be printed inside the walls at the same time you 3D print the walls....!!!!!!!!!!!

Irelands best bet is prefab, this 3D printing stuff takes just as long to setup and enough can go wrong

@@oogabooga2581 What is needed is a standard house on a national scale. Same size bedrooms bathrooms kitchens etc so that identical piping and wiring patterns can be prefabricated and fitted on site with a minimum of cutting, joining and laying out, tasks which are very time consuming and subject to error in traditional builds. In the early 1960's prefab panel builds were done in Ballymun, Dublin and other apartment projects for social housing. They were a disaster due to inadequate water proofing and maintenance of common areas and hallways, the elevators were always breaking down. Many of these projects were knocked down and replaced with traditional builds. The modern insistence on high levels of insulation and high tech heating adds greatly to housing costs which average families in many cases cannot afford.

There is no such thing as housing shortage. There is a "shortage" because you can't afford the homes that already exist.

Buy a 3d printer and hire an AI for reception/public relations, what's the problem? Why you explicitly want to work on someone instead of working on/for yourself.

Or if your glass is half full, we're saved. 🙂

don't you know that MIT created science which was used to create all other inventions 😂

Except 3D printing

China built the nutes & bolts and every little product. They provided the crucial deflationary pressures on the basis of which the trade and economy improved for all the people.

This seems more like a "supress rising power" initiative rather than self improvement.

haha Five eyes will soon abandone Ind ians.

@@studytime2570 before we go further, I would like to ask how old you are?

@@jasminderbharij5861 Where is your space station? The first component was launched in 1998 and took USD $150 billion joint project between NASA (US), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe) and CSA (Canada) multiple countries to finance it. Russia officially stated in 2020 they are withdrawing as per the planned service life of that 'international' space station; as agreed at inception to be in the third quarter of 2024. But the US wants to extend it past 2030+... However since it is international, Russia leaves on-time, along with their rockets, and their proportional modular area of the ISS... Decision done! Basically fix it or scrap it. Russia decided instead to join a) the state-of-the-art CSS, b) China's Lunar station, and plans to go to c) Jupiter and then d) Saturn, in cooperation with China. That's only for starters. What is the US roadmap regarding future space exploration? While the Chinese space station launched on April 29, 2021 successfully on the first shot, and only cost USD $5 billion to date in 2023, and is 100% solely funded by and controlled by China. Plus it uses ion drive. ▪︎Where is your molten salt thorium reactor? For China it's in the Gobi desert and in production. ▪︎Where is your artificial sun (fusion reactor)? In addition to the multinational endeavor ITER in which China has contributed billions in funding; as a result of slow pace progress by laggards in the team; China decided to go at it alone to implement and test two new bigger than ITER prototypes; that have already demonstrably produced 'hotter than the sun' plasma to contain the fusion reaction. The duration and temperature of which is berween one to two order of magnitude longer and hotter than ITER, today in 2023. The cost is over USD $ 1 Trillion ($1000 billion), all 100% self-funded by China. ▪︎Where is your hypersonic MACH 30+ wind tunnel? Yes there is only one in the world, guess where? Does the US have the power supply prerequisites? That laboratory wind tunnel singlehandedly requires the continuous sum of energy output of 8x Hoover dams combined; to just operate that single unit. ▪︎How about soft landing a rover on Mars on China's very first mission? It took over 30 years to achieve for the US, including multiple crashes and disasters. ▪︎Same for China landing on the dark side of the moon; 100% successful on the very first try. And back to Earth with samples no less. Including Helium-3... That is the legendary Chinese speed. So you think the Chinese cannot even manufacture propeller/turbine blades eh? ▪︎Meanwhile, SpaceX 'starship' explodes minutes after launch from Texas, today on April 20, 2023... ▪︎Regarding the US submarine metallurgical steel strength, search for: 《military grade steel submarine fiasco》 (note the search terms are generic, without any bias for or against the US.) I wonder who can or cannot build quality, reliable and cost-effective state-of-the-art systems... Obviously, the price is in inverse proportion to quality, where in capitalism, only greedy profits matter. While in socialism, things are done at cost and not for profit. No wonder Elon Musk said that 'China is 100x time more productive than in the US.' (That is by two orders of magnitude.)

can you please tell me more about it? like which company was it or anything where i can find more about it

@@mefisto05s.20 Sorry, I don't really have any more info or details about the builder who was constructing them. The only thing I can add is that i think they were based in south-east Queensland, Australia, during the late 90s and early 2000s. Possibly the Toowoomba area. A more common name for this type of construction in Australia is, pre-cast tilt-slab.

@@davefenton102 thanks!

Can your company do tight tolerances of 1 thou?

Yes, we can get down to 2-4 tenths in many cases@@cryora

Yep. Same here. I use my home printers at least weekly to make all kinds of useful things.

Injection molding en masse is incredibly expensive and complex. A 3d printing farm could do the same thing and might actually be less expensive, because it won't require as much labor or monitoring

The future is open source AI [ especially whrn trained on Wikileaks type darabases in order that everyone will be able to expose the criminals on their corner of the world ]

Some people are bound to be pessimists and hate on the new trends that will change everything in their life for the better. They're dinosaurs of people who rather want to go backwards in time.

3D printing creates weaker parts, not stronger. Time does not like plastic. 3D printing has a negative effect on plastic parts, problems with layer adhesion, as does pressure in the finished parts. High cost and low yield printers solve only a few production issues, this video is filled with outdated old information, by people with no deep interaction with the actual process and complexities involved. I’ve seen and used 3D printers for years and what you’ve shown here is mostly fluff and noise.
