Saying in the title that it isn't a 3D printer, then the first info spoken says it's a 3D printer. (which it is) Also mentioned is that it uses "cutting edge technology" "that we invented 10 years ago". How does that work? 3D printing tech from 10 years ago, is not cutting edge today. In the title it says it's "tool-less injection moulding". It doesn't use a mold, and the plastic isn't injected. It looks like the printing system you have developed might be a good one, but it's hard to build trust and gain customers when mostly contradictory false hype is the main focus. If the system can stand on it's abilities and quality, then that is what people need to know about. I'd get someone new to write your ad copy.

POV: you answer in front of a class a lesson when you are not prepared. PS To say so much and to tell nothing. This is just brilliant.

"3d printing is too slow, to expensive and doesn't scale", proceeds to present automated 3d printer lmfao Only old man could say such a bs and then try to sell it to you lol

I still keep a bad taste from my experience with the Liquid Crystal printer I got back in 2017. Never managed to print anything to 100% and on top of that, support was non existent. It has been rotting in a corner ever since :/ But this new system looks very cool and mature!

I like the idea of an automated closed system for SLA/DLP printing, but the issues that arise with using said process still remain: namely the toxicity of photopolymer resins to human health. I wonder if you were to close the design a bit more and to fully seal any exposure of resin to workers (it does risk crossing into proprietary design more than the machine itself), yes would close of lower-end businesses from buying it but, would reduce higher-end business safety requirements both in workshop and handling of materials. I like the node idea (and calling them such) :)

hmm...so then what type of parts? what materials? build size? do they degrade over time as they are exposed to UV light? are the parts tacky or gummy? these are my concerns from having worked with Resin prints. Of course, Id need to test one part and then once thats good, then scale up. In my case, I need TPR parts, approx 55- 70 Shore A. Also need foamed parts, could be TPU with a very fine lattice infill, but would want to be sure the resin would drain out, so it doesnt ooze/leak resin forever. Id also need some rigid parts, like a nylon or ABS type tough part, that has some flex. Then there's color, does everything have to be clear or gray or black? or I can make it a natural looking rubber? then theres equipment cost and part cost. What do the numbers look like? where are the printers made? why not show sample parts along with costs? thanks.

Thanks for your interest. We'll be putting out some more information in a week or two to dive deeper and answer some of your questions.

JENNY!!!!! That's amazing

Wow! Awesome!

That looks incredible!

Is the photopolymer safe? I've yet to see an acceptably safe photopolymer. MSDS?

Amazing , what is the price ?

Where are you reading from?

Insane! I want a call!

The 3D printing industry should stop with this BS, SLA or any other photo-polymer based technology will never replace injection molding, it is limited by material selection, mechanical properties and speed, this is a fundamental drawback and will never be overcomed because of the nature of the materials/technology used.

Injection molding requires considerable resources and knowledge before you even produce 1 part. 3d printing will not replace injection molding but it will make companies more self sufficient.

I mean...you can look at it from the other way round and say similar stuff. Injection moulding is limited by materials, design constraints, tooling requirements and reliance on volume(I.e. you're looking at 10,000s of the same parts, not 1000s of different/customised parts). This machine looks like it's aiming for the reduction in time to market through scaling an automated print farm. The mechanical properties argument is becoming less and less true, especially with photopolymers. Also, this isn't SLA, it's LCD.

@@Mankey1234 Not exactly as the main reason this technology will never replace injection molding is the core chemistry its materials are based on. Photopolymers cannot replace thermoplastic polymers in serial production, they have too many limitations (mainly mechanical properties but also UV degradation, food safety and many more). Even if you are looking at small batches, the applications are very limited - you cannot use it in critical load bearing applications, food usage is a big no-no, consumer products are an issue because of UV exposure and durability and so on. It can be used in very specific niches and today it is mainly used for prototyping and form and (limited) function evaluation. I am using various photopolymer based printing technologies for more than 15 years (MJP, SLA, DLP and so on) and saying it could replace injection molded parts (even in small batches) is largely false and most of the time pure marketing mumbo jumbo.

So. Whats the catch? There is always a catch.

It’s just a network of resin 3d printers. No new tech on the printing size just innovation on streamlining and scaling such printers and their operations
