    Another great one. I do believe solid state batteries are going to be mainstream in cars, phones and laptops, but I don't believe 3d printing will be used to manufacture them at scale. I think it will move to conveyorbelt-like setup with spray and heat stages - so horizontal spread of 3D printing manufacturing. This will allow much less moving parts in the assembly line and more reliable production. So for prototyping, 3D printing is enabling aspects unthinkable without it. But for mass manufacturing, I don't think so.

Even if they were 100x faster than typical 3D printers, you'd need a lot of printers! Perhaps there's a big change in the manufacturing format between this and scale! Thinking about Elon mentioning that you can't actually see the production line moving at Kato Rd, eg it's a blur.

    3D printing has already revolutionized manufacturing, and it's getting better every year. There's widespread adaptation and the industry is going from using them to prototype parts to actually printing the functional part. Material specialization is growing leaps and bounds, and honestly I love being a part of that. We're truly living in that "if you can dream it, you can build it" era.

    For more than 10 years now, 3D printing has been seen as the next step in the production process. In my experience however, for many mass production items, 3D-printing does not offer any advantage compared to low-cost, fast production processes. 3D printing definitely has its merits in prototyping and unique or low quantity production parts.

    it also have some use in reducing parts count by combining multi parts into single part, reducing screw holes and assembly time (more valuable if you include the cost saving from assembly and less waste). Technically injection molding can do that as well for way cheaper cost and speed. Although If you stretch the definition of 3D printer a bit, technically injection molding is a type of 3D printing with very specialized printing head (the mold is essentially a negative injection head basically) with a more restricted material flow direction. That's kind of a stretch but I think it's more of a spectrum from extremely specialize tool that does one thing really well and cheaply to a really generic tool that can do anything but more expensively. Going that route, I guess electro-plating is just 3D printing on the microscopic scale. You should theoretically change the electric field shape and control where the metal ion gets deposited and 3D print on a microscopic scale. I think the issue people try to use additive manufacturing as replacement for reductive or traditional manufacturing, which is never going to work in the short term. Given how many head start year these legacy method have and these legacy processes will continue evolving. It should do its own thing where it's good at or complement existing manufacturing process. I could see 3D printer as a good method to extend the life span of a injection mold, as each time an injection is made, a small amount of the mold get tear off, which eventually lead to tolerance error high enough to needing to discard or replace the mold. You could have a metal powder 3D printer with a position measuring head that check the mold's dimension periodically and correct the dimension error via printing on top of existing mold. So it can extend the life span of a injection of casting mold dramatically, since these molds typically extremely expensive to make and require very high volume production to amortize the cost down. Which bring out the second use, using 3D printer to build a less durable but cheaper mold. So you can combine the advantage of low operation cost of injection mold and the benefit of cheaper initial mold construction, which lower the production run needed before the mold investment is recoup. Injection molding/casting is still the king of high volume and low cost manufacturing I think for the foreseeable future. Another use of 3D printer would be in conjunction with reductive million and drilling, you can fix the million and drilling mistake by print the material back on. Thus you can use lower precision equipment for the milling part, which lowers the initial cost of investment. Kind of how you sculpture a clay model via adding and removing, it doesn't have to be a homogeneous process. It can be a heterogeneous process that bring the strength of both process together and compensate for each other's weakness. So in case something went wrong during the milling process, you don't need to throw out the entire batch, you can repair them via 3D printing while you debug and fix the source of the initial milling error. Making the entire process more error tolerant instead of have to watch it like a hawk and make sure the milling process goes 100% right the first time. Therefore making on boarding an additional line in the factory require less attention and less stressful. People who work in cnc shop know how much a pain bring a new line up is, you not only have to measure the critical dimensions, you also need to measuring every other dimensions periodically through out the process. Otherwise a bad batch will slip through and costing you a ton. I guess if we doing a power plant analogy, traditional manufacturing will be like the base load power, and 3D printing or additive manufacturing will be like the dynamic load that handle high variation and not constant manufacturing need. Both have a place for existing and complement each other.

    I completely agree. I have yet to see a manufacturing process where 3d printing actually makes sense. If you can 3d print it, you can probably injection mold it in under a second. Waste is also less of an issue in manufacturing as the waste is usually recycled back into raw materials. I still prefer cnc milling over 3d printing as the material properties tend to be more consistent.

    Right out the gate with false equivalence suggesting battery manufacture = reductive process. Foils are rolled from ingots, powders crushed and liquids blended. Rolls are used because it is the fastest way to achieve massive surface area in a compact form factor. (think electrolytic capacitor or a bolt of cloth) No one is carving a cell (NOT battery!) from a tree, a stone or a billet of metal. There is near zero scrap, plus scraps are fed right back into the chain. Additive manufacturing _today_ is great for prototype work and certain geometry's that can't be achieved by more conventional processes. But it is not only slow, it uses a lot more energy to achieve the same product. If this process is what it appears it is more like ink jet printing than anything I think of as manufacturing.

Also, I would be interested to know more about how much waste is saved using 3d printing, as batteries are not made like other components using CNC machines (which is where 3d printing as a replacement really shines). I have always used 3d printing as a prototype method and seen it more for bespoke or low volume products, so I will be looking out for it's application in mass manufacturing!

The end goal being nearly everything has dropped traditional manufacturing processes in favor of simply printing it in similar times, if not faster, for cheaper. As for solid state batteries, assuming we can get them stable, efficient, and cheap, they will also play a massive role in how we store and use energy going forward.

    In Space applications (currently) batteries must last the lifetime of the satellite (4-15 years) with huge temperature swings, radiation, etc. In Lower orbits they are charged/dicharged every 90-120 min or so = 23,000+ cycles (low orbit, 4 yrs.) In higher orbits they are exposed to high levels of radiation, but are not cycled nearly as often. These factors make it very hard for spacecraft to directly use batteries made for terrestrial applications (a cel phone gets topped off once a day for maybe a 4 year obsolecense life and can be replaced if you want to hang onto the phone = ~1460 partial cycles) ==> So a satellite battery needs to support 15x the cycles in a hostile environment. Bottom line, solid state and 3D printed batteries are a promising thrust, but the devil is in the details regarding performance for the space environment. Test, Test, and Test some more. . .

    I think one of the most exciting things about this idea is that if it takes off, then we may be able to make our own batteries at home. 3D printing as a whole went from an expensive industrial thing to something anyone can do at home for a relatively small amount of money, and metal 3D printing is becoming more inexpensive as time passes… I think the same might happen with this tech. But imagine being able to download the design for a device battery and making your own replacements instead of having to hope someone still makes that battery, especially for odd size, shape, or capacity things

    Okay... Battery performance is ultimately controlled by ion migration. This technology is particularly good at creating repeating patterns of fine structures. Fine structures produce more active surface area per unit volume. Increasing active surface area within a volume means you reduce the overall distance an ion must travel. Your volume can be much smaller, allowing additional layers to be added that increase amperage. Technology in its infancy... Print layers of circuitry while you are at it... Deposit layers of bent graphene and use them to absorb spikes. This is how you get products to approach the cost of their raw materials.

    If you are going to build a million of something, it is most likely better to have a specialized machine for it than a to have a universal assembler (3d printer) do it. 3d-printers are good for prototyping and low number productions (and as von Neumann-probe to colonize the galaxy).

    There are a lot ocomments being made by people asserting that 3D Printing is not for mass production. Rather than compare it to traditional forms of manufacturing we should be viewing Additive manufacturing as a complimentary process to traditional forms of manufacturing. The value in choosing AM is part consolidation, lightweighting, topology optimization, generative design etc. The more complex a part, the more expensive it is to manufacture traditionally. The opposite is true for AM. The more complex it is, the less expensive it is as less material is required. I think its very tough to make definiteive statements of whether AM will or wont play a role in end use production. That debate is over. Having worked in this industry for a decade, the advances that I continually see challenge even my own preconceived notions of what is possible.

    Subtractive manufacturing (stamping, machining) really doesn't produce waste. The processes produce high value scrap materials with very high recovery rates. Plus the different materials are segregated to a large degree. Scrap steel from stamping operations typically will get run thru a compactor to reduce volume resulting denser scrap that gets sold on to steel plants. Steel is still one of the largest recycled items worldwide

    Think if they can eventually get this up to the level that ev’s can use hopefully with a better effective life. Batteries can be integrated into the parts of the car ! Potentially doubling the range for an equal weight if batteries . The car might still end up lighter from integrating them into parts . Although how it’s charged as well as wiring would change! Even if you had to have an additional charge port on the car say for a duel battery packs like duel gas tanks on trucks . The thought of getting 600 plus miles a charge and being able to quick charge 2 batteries at the same time for a little more range could easily get you where you could drive for 12 hours straight then recharge overnight at a hotel. Assuming that equal capacity of current batteries so anything better like quicker charging or larger capacity per weight of battery would be added bonus!

    True but how much better "effective" life do they need to get? Teslas batteries are already seeing better than 1500 charge cycles. At 400 miles per charge cycle that's 600,000 miles and that's just until the capacity is down to perhaps 70% of the original capacity. The energy density is where I'm hoping to see big improvements. If the energy density of these 3D printed SSB's are increased to 400 kWh/kg or better then (for any given capacity), they will be at least 40% lighter than the present technology. Even with Tesla's new 4680 batteries you're looking at close to 500 miles range in a Model "S" Long Range for a 100kWh pack. I'm pretty sure we'll see 600 miles per charge (probably with a 150 kWh pack), within two years. With such range a sub 15 minute charge time won't be necessary since even an hour won't bother someone that's been on the road for 12 straight hours.

    3D printing can mean a lot of things. The example of a 3D printed house, wold be different from custom shapes and parts. As for solid state batteries, it would have be defect free. It would have to be a very high standard. As for mass manufacturing, I can't see it for mass market EV's. But the energy density of these batteries maybe suitable for some speciality applications, e.g. eVTOL's?

Get agreements with companies like InMotion, Begode, KingSong, etc.. By printing batteries to size and 'Fit' a whole new market can come to life.
