super impressive manufacturers great processing

One huge advantage he didn't speak of it replacing parts years after a product is no longer manufactured. No need to keep molds on hand or parts in stock. Just keep an STL model of the part on a server somewhere and have some company print it out for you.

Alloyed printing extremely useful for the future of products industry and optimal reduced costs and excellent design possibilities. With precision standards accuracy and reduced developmental costs little environmental hassles.

These kinds of products/technologies will revolutionize design/ speed / prototyping by bringing it to the desktop/mainstream market.

any FDM machine is capable of that. you just need a kiln to sinter the pieces.

what would stop one from embedding metal powder into plastic filament and computing the shrink rate to determine size them put in an oven to drive off the plastic and melt power together in a home printer?

Shapes not commonly possible in older mold/pour methods can at last be achieved. The sky is no longer the limit.

This is how long space excursions will be made. Reprinting parts to repair ships for hundreds of years.

Any test regarding fatigue issues with this non-uniform, and variable solid shapes? That would be my main worry.

What filament was used for that?

Wow, could see this strand technique being used to make body armor.

They must be looking at a part that is tailored for printing and especially difficult for CNC. I'm a design engineer that also offers prototypes for some clients. The ease of programming and setup is a huge advantage for printing. But they are mind numbingly slow and produce awful surface finishes. There is nothing on the market right now that would make me think twice about replacing my CNC hardware. I think printers are great for design houses or hobbyists who don't have manufacturing capability. But it's going to be a long time before we are talking about replacing injection molding or CNC for anything but niche parts.

Agreed. When I demo'd their onyx printer last year, it was something like 1 part in 8 hours. The material was expensive too. I'm burning two setup parts in my garage tonight on a 20 HP VMC in about 5 minutes per side. I'm holding about .002 inches, getting surface finishes around 40 Ra on aluminum blanks that cost me $1.50 each in bulk. I'd love to go with a printer if it can do the job cost effectively but it won't be any time soon.

I am not an engineer but I tried to get objects manufactured in metal before and the cost was like 600 bucks instead of 50 for things like a not too big box with some holes in it, etc.

Much of the cost of CNC is in the programming and setup. This cost can be shared over volume runs so that it is not very significant relative to manufacturing time and material. But if you only cut one part, it can be very expensive. That's why I mentioned a hobbyist or a design engineer who needs a quick prototype as possibly finding a solution here. But these things are not yet suited for product manufacturing.

How much do one of those run for

Cool...

you can do this with a hobby level FDM machine, filamet filament, and a kiln. at least with copper, brass and bronze.

I've read that the porosity can be varied at will, which means the process has the ability to print a sponge-like metal material. The military is already experimenting with this material in flak jackets and helmets.

Protolabs standard lead time is three business days with single day expedite options as well. There's many with lead times about a week, Xometry, and Rapid mfg are a couple(i have used all three). Local shops will generally turn around under 3 weeks as well. I think this tech is cool, huge applications for manufacturing, why pitch it with bad information?

low cost metal, the new plastic

That's cool but shrinkage is hard to compensate for it's not exactly the same every single time

Its modern alchemy folks!

The only interesting part of this is the ability to do captive infill in metal. All other aspects can be done better and faster with MIM, or CNC milled from stock.

Soon the machine can repair itself. Soon.

This is a cool process, no doubt but....... It is very slow, expensive, and with marginal precision. The majority of the parts will need CNC post processing for precision surfaces and threaded holes. Workholding parts with no precision surfaces is a total pain in the butt. Perhaps you could print the fixturing at the same time to make it easier. When you look at the cost of the machine, the materials, the slow speed, and the need to CNC finish the majority of the parts - it is not the valur propsition Markforged is selling. Cool stuff....limited practical uses in real life.

What are you talking about, printing is cheep, and this will be cheep in time, the precision can be similar as sand casting so parts can be machined afterwards. This will be the next step for fabricators, and as a r&d engineer i would love this in my shop, it would save tone of time. Oh yeah and the fact you can make things with infill so they are partially hollow is a game changer by the way, i can make lighter things that are as strong as full parts

Gasper Erjavec Cheap? Lol! It is expensive and slow and lacks precision. Finishing in CNC adds process complexity, cost, etc. I like where it's going, but we are quite a way from this being a general production process. Great, however, for prototypes, repairs, and very low volume applications.

Obviously it will not replace cnc any time soon, but im surprised you find it expensive while ruining costs of a average printer are laughable to a average cnc.

Too slow to be financially viable. The one thing they don't account for is the value of time. So it takes a month to make that Ducati with a $100,000 machine, I suggest that's not a great situation. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yes you can fix machines with printed parts, but very limiting max part size, and instead of $100,000 why not simply have a spare parts bin. In addition, how accurate are these shrinking metal pieces. I would also suggest if you're looking for extremely high accuracy, it doesn't exist here. Nothing about this product makes any sense at the current cost.

if we have this now, you know that in the future the Federation is just replicating starships, right? I mean, why wouldn't you just build a huge replicator, and be like, 'computer, make 42 starships'.

My BS-sense is off the charts: - Fancy name unrelated to the actual tech (its not diffusion and has the material bits are not even close to atomic) - Simple parts as use example for 3D-printer (those gears could have been punched at 4000 (!!) punches per minute with a decent punch-press) And that Alu-gripper example is even more garbage: Massive, simple parts are NOT a good sceniario for using 3D-printers. And then he throws out "algorithms in the cloud" around the end.
