Awesome 3D Printers at RAPID + TCT 2019

rapid TCT 2019 has a huge draw thanks to a lot of 3d printers and we're not talking tiny little consumer machines these are multi thousand possibly multi-million dollar machines creative 3d technologies right behind me it's one of the more popular ones at this show because what it can offer we're gonna talk about this machine and all the other ones we saw right here on 3d printing nerd I first saw the Kodak machine a couple years ago at CES and that's where I met Damien but they've done a lot since then and Damien is here to talk about it hey Mia hey how are you what the heck man you've got a machine hanging from rope and I assume 3d printed parts here yeah exactly so it's hanging from nylon six printed parts that are very high traction resistance and currently printing these great nylon parts very details that you can see let me see this okay yeah but it's nylon so I can I can move it and push it around and it's not gonna break exactly Wow and so it's printing this high of detail while it's just gonna hang in here swing it around that's kind of cool this kind of detail and in higher temperature materials which is something that you may not see in many deaths of hoop printers out there well let's let's talk about what its capabilities are what's the build volume the build volume is about 8 by 8 by 9 point something and dual extruder is that right to work through them with lifting nozzles we currently have a line of 11 different materials from normal PLA to three different ways of planning and it just right out of the box they can do nylon no problem right off the box you can do nylon with our preset profiles and fully enclosed so abs is no problem you've got is there a fan in the back low in the area there's air filtration with a HEPA filter and activated carbon so ABS is is good to go and connectivity Wireless or Ethernet yes it has Wi-Fi Ethernet it's connected to the codec free cloud so you can have an unlimited fleet of printers in different locations managed by your cell phone or computer and yeah it has a built in camera for remote monitoring Wow that's well I know you got a machine over there with ABS let's go take a look at that and continue the talk so this machine here this one inside the booth this is printing ABS right now right yeah it just finished printing ABS actually you can you can touch the build plate it's still hot it printed this this part that has very fine details no warping note elimination it's a hundred micron and you can see difficult to have such a print with Desa printer it's perfect this is an ABS part where the hips soluble support so the the black is hips correct and how would you dissolve that with limonene with a limiting solution oh that's right that's right okay and this machine can do that because it'll have hips on one side and abs on the other correct correct that's it this print is super clean now with the machine what's what's the retail cost to this bad boy right here it's $3,500 and you can benefit from our design to print services so basically we're offering a service were this is basically you get any 3d model and you have our designers in our factory work on that model to make it perfectly printable on our printer for you they can create customized profiles if you have a complex geometry that wouldn't go with our preset profiles and we do the work so you don't have to worry about the whole thing it's basically a comprehensive approach where we offer Hardware the materials the software and the service that's really cool well Demyan thanks for this I'm really looking forward to maybe playing with this machine someday absolutely yeah we'll be happy to have you do that that'd be great hey happy wrap it to you my friend and good luck with the rest of the day thank you beautiful how great day the alien 3d booth is actually printing with some pack material and I actually met up with my boy Randeep here who dresses more like how I do not a suit and tie hey Randy straps to the shoes yeah everything how are you I'm well well I mean you've got a fantastic flannel I'm from the Pacific Northwest so you represent I'm from Seattle I live in Seattle I was raised there in Bellevue for 14 years oh my god up top now that we've become best friends tell me about this machine right here okay so this machine is similar to some of the machines that you might have seen at the lower end like your entry-level machines but it's really really hot how really really hot is really hot it's like 120 Celsius so water would be boiling right now why we do that is because we're printing really high temperature materials when you're printing your printing hot on the material so if the material is too hi it actually skirt crosses warping and stressing so we have the temperature really high so we can control that so we can produce parts that are super strong like this could go on a spaceship right here with spaceship to go on a spaceship so this is a circuit mount for a rocket out of a material that can handle almost 260 Celsius wait-wait-wait the the temperature around the material can get to 260 C and this will be like no problem yep I wouldn't go pepper too much past that but yeah 260 C is wet it's rated for it it feels good what is this it's a carbon fiber PEC PE KK so it's kind of like peak but a little bit different peak is Paul yeah throw throw ketone yeah PEC is polyethers Quito Quito exactly the material is really expensive itself that's like $600 a kilogram but you don't have to go through all the machining process that aluminium dust to get there so per part it's actually cheaper oh and you don't have to invest in a metal 3d printer which is usually fairly cost prohibitive yeah we're talking hundreds of thousands if not sometimes more Wow dude so yeah it's a really crazy cool material and it's just it's really cool that you can use this stuff in real life now like the parts are good enough to use off the machine that's crazy how do you get the support so this one here you just break them out with a player a set of pliers so the same way that you'd break out for your supports on your abs or your nylons or your PLA s okay cool process but just higher temperature but we're not talking about the materials we're talking about how this machine can print all these awesome materials right yeah exactly and it can trade me first so that's like an airfoil so that's super light and highly spit that's and very light and very stiff yeah oh I see and it's a weak shape this here which is like nylon so in the same nylon that you see everywhere and pretty much everything you can print it now too well I could I could print some nylons this is similar to the nylons that I use similar but it'll have better layer strength because the it's inside of a heat of environment so you're bonding you actually have higher bonding because you're printing on a hot thing already oh so the the layer adhesion is better within this because it's already all hot yeah exactly wow that's cool so let's talk about the specs in the machine what's my build envelope here so 18 by 18 by 25 inches huge it's huge its enormous and it can go up to 120 Celsius inside as the chamber temperature and you can extrude it over 500 Celsius so you can pretty much melt any plastic that exists right now what is the hottest plastic do you know there's a there's like in the thermoplastic space peak is the best node it's okay yeah there's some plastics that go higher like the polyimides but they can't be melt process so people are still trying to figure out how to use those but yeah peak is actually plastic in the world right now that's cool okay so let's say let's say I was a business or I was a person that needed to get something like this and the a on 3d machine is what I wanted was at the m2 what sort of charge would I see on my credit card you see about a forty two thousand dollar charge right now okay that seems like I've speak I've spoken to other people here and that that's not out of the ballpark no I think it's actually really really reasonable for a machine of this caliber right here so our whole thing is we want to make it affordable so the people can actually adopt it you know if you spend a quarter million dollars in a machine then you can't really do that that's true that's true true hey Randy if it's really good to meet you and thanks for making me come over here thank you so much I'd be the rest of wrap that my friend Seattle rocks we're at rapid and this has been a long time coming I've been meaning to meet up with Ethan here for the better part of almost two years and finally in Detroit we meet hey Ethan hi you have an insane machine that I've been wanting to see for quite a while but just haven't had the chance and now that I see it in person it's incredible give me a breakdown to the specs of this machine right here sure so it's just for a disclaimer first this was our last prototype before a pre-production unit so since I'm gonna clean up the UI interface and a few other wiring and few other things but in essence it's the same thing large format independent dual extrusion 3d printer that takes the best of a lot of other 3d printers are very specific in their nature and merge into one so you're getting volume fought the sacrifice precision you can still print multiple things at the same time industrial materials you can do do it all since I ran a three bring refurbishing business for about five years before I started this I wanted the best of a lot of different 3d printers I've had experience with in one printer and I just didn't find something like that out there well you sure created a masterpiece you said it's printing with 0.6 nozzles right now in mirror mode it looks like it has purge buckets on this site is this a custom built extruder or these Vaughn Tech's or something else so we use III D products for the hot ends we use bond to bond text for either line of filament see if Bowden for pushing and direct-drive for pulling so you got a lot more torque with that you get the advantage of direct drive and the advantage of slack in the line of Bowden and we also use we try to put ourselves with a lot of best brand names we have genuine hiring rails thk ball screws or well thk or high one or still debating between the two for our final models try to use the best we can all the aspects where it directly affects print quality and optimize for cost savings on the rest of the frame pass it on to the customer well before we get to the cost let's water the specs as far as the build envelope what's the XY and Z on this so if you're using both exteriors at once you have a little less volume you have 460 by 910 by 675 675 or if you want a print off just one you get a little extra little extra volume on your side so you get about 500 of that that's crazy pants and I know this is a large build volume but you reach back here and go ahead and grab that right back here just because you have large build volume doesn't mean you sacrifice the quality and what was this printed with and what nozzle this is friend of a point 15 millimeter nozzle on our detail tool head so everything's quickly interchangeable II just unscrew and then you can plug it in and be able to print a whole new application 3d printing essentially so if you want to really find out if initially and print with a detail tool hen you want to print something really fast on the inside you can make a stronger infill material while doing a really fine outside and reduce your print time drastically oh and that's that's the beauty of having to two different print ads is that you can you can have different materials or you can have different functionalities of each of the print heads yes especially if you're praying something really large you can do it a lot quicker that way or you can have your soluble supports or whatever else you'd like to do what's your customer for this who do you envision is the people that want to buy something like this so we tried being writing a sweet spot of everything if our pricing we want a price a cost-effectively set of top ended consumers since that is around the cap of what they're gonna be at but also at the middle market as well for the people that are looking for something above 10,000 but a bit less than like 50,000 and something for their small businesses or startups ings a short or replacing their outsourcing prototyping to something in-house and it's also still big enough fast enough and has a lot of same features and the industrial ones to compete on the industrial market as well like if I was gonna hand you a credit card how much would be on my credit card at the end of the day depends what add-ons you'd like but if you're pre-ordering it we sell for 8,000 as a pre-order now we offer additional benefits for example you join a pre-order Club essentially you get additional features and you get discounts on every single future project will have filament will resell tool heads you get exclusive price on all that Ruby tip nozzle is additional acrylic customized really and you get it first before anyone else and it's just as testam quality check there's any other machine your first friend comes on to play and we're not gonna ship to you unless it does exactly what we say it does wait wait wait wait you said eight eight eight eight thousand dollars okay because I have machines in my house that are a quarter or less the build volume but are definitely not a quarter or less the price of this how do you how do you do that a lot of its our business model we just do things a little more efficiently and a lot of these big printers around here at this show you can certainly price a lot more effectively since it's not new technology anymore and in the industrial and prosumer market it doesn't need to be priced like that anymore and that's where we want to disrupt the model well for people to help enable you to disrupt the model where are they gonna go to get more information about this create three technologies calm we have everything on there it's so you can certainly look us up and join our pre-orders as well if you'd like to so one more thing I just I think this is interesting you showed us the really small piece and I thought hey you know what this still is cool haha you printed the legs but you printed this stool itself yes so it was all in one piece we use brown filament just for the top and blue for the rest of it but because that's an accurate representation of real life right and it's light and it works right two days yep we had one nozzle do define her outside and a thicker now is to do the inside so there really are tests on our earlier prototypes but yeah yes this is strong so okay then I guess one more question the the prints are strong is the frame strong because I mean it was this sort of build volume any sort of shift the frame is gonna throw the print off is is this pretty sturdy it is I mean we have plenty of photos of me sitting and standing on it you don't need those custom metal bent frames to have the same level rigidity and we passed the cost savings on to the customer if it Ethan this is wonderful thank you for finally being somewhere where I'm at where I could see you and I wish you the best of rapid thank you for stopping by yes a while ago I produced a video where I went to Longmont Colorado and we talked about the each series from diabase and look what's at rapid hey Steve and then what's happened since the video went out how has how has it been going it's great we're actually shipping product that's the main thing so in February we started shipping these machines this guy is serial number 18 at the moment so yeah Wow the rest are with customers and working well as far as we know so yeah so let me I get a Fritz started actually get a milling cycle started for you okay well is there can I touch a button you can hit the okay button I can hit the okay button I think I remember we we showcased this but we didn't actually put it on the machine right I think I think we I think you took it off the machine and you're broke part of it sorry yeah let's get started here we go so we rotated the head yep so I brought down a ball end mil it's gonna come down and start machining so it will do a contour tool path first that it's kind of just hitting a couple of spots on the inside of the part then it's going to come around smooth the outside layers and then it will do a spiral tool path from inside out then it'll switch tools again bring up a chamfer mill and that'll come in each the part this is what we're showing right here so it's it's just a little puck that has our logo on it but it can shows you the detail that we can do with this machine so we can smooth out the surface finish to get rid of the layer lines and what material is that that is ptg but the the part that we printed first had an adhesion layer of urethane to make sure we got a good grab on the bed and then it has a support material layer or several layers of support material and then the parts printed on top of that yeah wow it looks really good thank you and it's it's hypnotizing to watch this machine work because the the bed moves but you have the rotating head I think the thumbnail I made for this video is probably one of the best I've ever made was that just because it showed the machine it was like this dark sexy picture it is dark and sexy yeah agree so one of the things I'm seeing on the video there you've got a v axis is that right yes we can show you that over here here's a part that is printed in standard 3 axis mode so Cartesian mode and then we use a fourth and fifth axis to middlin so you can see you can get a very smooth surface finish with a milling cutter oh wow Wow not bad right yeah so that's that's a fourth axis unit but these rotary axes are modular so we can also set them up in four axis mode so this is a print that's done in four axes and this is TPU so it's it's flexible but it the difference here is that the layer lines are circumferential so the part is really strong in the radial direction so for things like cast sand and other components that you need strength radially it's much better to do in a row reiax is set up like this yeah well it makes sense and it's gonna be phenomenally stronger right yeah if you printed this in Cartesian you'd have a bunch of overhangs and you'd have poor bonding between layers but since we're printing in rotary then you have a much stronger part in the radial direction yeah and that this display is showing you different hardness of material that we can print and then refinish so if you look at the prints they're not beautiful but that's kind of the point we print with a very big nozzle we can print faster we can push out more material and then we can come and clean them up to a nice fine surface finish afterward and we can do that with yeah we can we can do that with rigid materials but we can also do that with elastomers so this is something completely new at the show that we're debuting so this is a 68 durometer that's first printed and then it's burnished with a hot ball tool so there's there's no one else in the world doing this at the moment no there's not world exclusive so what do you think this is incredible I like how you just ran with it like the machine had promised and then you guys like we got this and then you just took off with it it's amazing exactly so the way we look at this thing it's a platform it's you know a mechanical system that is modular and allows you to do a lot of different things already but in the future we've got we got plans for a lot more tool heads a lot more capabilities that we're gonna add so we're excited this is amazing Steve thanks for the time man I really appreciate it thank you Joe see you later you may have seen recently where I did a video on the maker gear m3 in this really awesome chess set we're at rapid and we're at the Maker Gear booth and we're here with Rick hey man how you doing you've got some cake in your hands and that's because you are now 10 years old I'll bring our 10th anniversary we started in 2009 10 10 years ago I was in my garage making parts one at a time for people that were making drone 3d printers that's how we started massive congrats man but 10 years ago you didn't have this this is the maker gear wait what is this called this is the ultra one that is insane that is huge here I'm gonna come around so obviously the m3 is a great prosumer model this must be an industrial workhorse this is our introduction into the industrial space it's got a 16 by 5 14 by 13 build volume and as we have my suppose step over and see the core in a minute it is built to be reliable and industrial you know a heavy use environment well heavy use that speaks with this over here right put your cake down let's walk over here so what we have here this is the core this is what's inside the ultra one so you can see how it's constructed you know this thing is a beast it's reliable it's built to be strong you know this is the machine that's built to go into an environment where it's gonna be heavy use production production 3d printing okay I'm gonna have to look this myself you ready Sean here we go so oh my god that is Wow that's solid so and this is this is cast tooling plate so it's flat linear rails you can see all the precision machining that goes into this machine so we've put a lot of work into making a really rigid frame so that when you actually are printing you know layers that are a thickness of a sheet of paper over and over and over again weeks months years you're still getting a great result well this is fantastic because the m3 is a wonderful workhorse machine this is like next-level so if and if a business wanted to pick up something like this they wanted something bigger than the m3 what would this set them back the retail price nutrition is 12,500 doesn't seem bad for the volume and the reliability hard it is to build these machines we think it's pretty reasonable well Rick Congrats on 10 years I know you've got a mug over there for me but I just want to shake your hand thanks again man thank you very much I'm hearing the stratasys booth next to an amazing machine with a man holding a really awesome part this is Thomas and he's gonna tell me why this is so cool hey Thomas hey Joel nice to meet you good to meet you good yeah so this is our TPU material we can do full 14 inch tall parts with support material yeah it's really fun it's they're fun to bend fun to squish it feels like a molded part like it was like it was born this shape no it's a typical FDM process like hobby level printers just the next step up I mean we do have we do protective cases with them on so people on a fight like that then they're then they're fine to go that is cool so what machine made this so this is our Stratasys f one two three series printer is that this one yeah so this one right here is the 370 it's the biggest one two three series that we have it can do TPU material can do a pc abs blend ABS a sa and it can do all of them really well and why is that we have a heated oven people are aware that patents gonna be running out soon you'll just mention that so we're as a company we're expecting to see more of that in the future which could lead to more innovations correct yes as a hobby level fan I'm excited about that but as an employee of Stratasys maybe not so much well besides the heated okay so it's not a chamber it's an oven yep yep and it is filament based right yes all filament base just like lulzbot so then this is a material this is a filament and it extrudes it through a nozzle right yep the nozzle though doesn't look like any nozzle I've ever seen before is what makes it special so it's longer in skinnier it's it's about the same heated length as a supervolcano so it's it's it's a long heated zone yeah that's probably all I should say about that right now so as far as this part this is TPU I don't see where so usually supports leave a scar on the material that what supports supported this so we have our SR 30 material so it's it's a soluble support kind of like PVA except we need more chemicals other than just water to wash it away that's really cool that's really really cool so then obviously this is not hobby level but if a company or corporation needed a machine that performed like this what would this set them back this machine here runs about 60,000 we have a smaller the 120 is a little bit cheaper it's a smaller less capable machine though and that's more in the $12,000 range oh okay what about that large one behind Sean right there let's go can we go talk about that one yeah let's go let's go see that one and I'll tell you about it Thomas this machine is slightly larger than the other machine in fact I could probably sleep in this machine what this and what does it do yeah so this is our Stratasys f900 this is capable of printing 36 by 24 by 36 inch parts solid big solid all ten parts big solid all ten parts this is these are engineering materials yes yes engineering grade high-end high temperature resistance high stiffness so that thing that's in there that engine block that was printed on this machine I was on this machine took about eight days to print it looks so good yeah it's beautiful these parts are absolutely gorgeous can I hold it look at this this is crazy yeah it's it's a beast and this is eight days of Ultem printing this is our ABS machine this is ABS okay okay so it could do altom if it wanted to but this is eight days of ABS yes correct okay I'm gonna hand it back to you cuz I don't mean it's ABS I don't break it it is awesome so then this is a bit of a flagship situation right this is an amazing machine we talked about the price of that one if a company or corporation wanted to get into this thing what sort of charge would they expect to their bank account almost ten times the amount it'll be more in the $400,000 range oh okay I mean I've seen machines at rapid here that were in the million dollar range so that seems affordable yeah it's affordable in the use case we have for customers that buy this type of the machine helps them pay it off relatively quickly generally I guess I got to get into manufacturing you don't I right yeah I don't know if you have space in your garage for this one though my wife would kill me Thomas thank you so much have a good rest of rapid man thanks I will you too well that was a bunch of fun and I hope you really enjoyed Ethan and his duo here this is an amazing machine you're gonna want to look more into this and a big thanks to flashforge for bringing us out to wrap a TC t 2019 Hey look in the video if you made it this far you're awesome and don't forget to hug each other more I love you all as always high-five
