Really not trying to be pessimistic, but the only reasonable application I can think of is the forming of egg trays or injection moulding of packaging inserts/holders/trays. Neither of those have to be accurate to any degree.

Very cool machine, just so you know I am 100% ok with a 25 minute uncut video with some general explanation of what we are seeing. All these cuts make me feel like something is being hidden especially in this rougher nonmarketing format, but thank you for posting all the same. I am always happy to see this machine being used.

Some explanation about what's being done would be nice.

I messed around with a similar concept but didn’t get very far. I’m interested in knowing if your team has explored putting a membrane over the pins with a hydraulic system to adjust the way the membrane conforms to shape. Your team’s mold also looks quite robust so I’m interested in knowing if it is strong enough to used in shaping or stamping applications.

brilliant

So wait...this is legit? And you gave it this name?

This has to be a troll.

6 ton pressure?

Cool product, cheap AI voice over.

I mold things for a living and I think the pin texture would be a deal breaker for most applications. This would be great for prototyping vac form tools and plug-free composite molds but not much else.

ai voiceover with one-word-per-frame subtitles. just what we need in manufacturing, carcinogenic tiktok influencer techniques

Really cool technique! I wonder if you could use a similar technique to make a dynamic bed for FDM printing... external support structure is half the mass of the project sometimes...

How is this zero waste? It looks like theres a brim of waste material that comes off every part.

Why is the forming machine needed? Couldn't the pins just adopt the shape with some simple electrical actuators?

zero waste my ass aall the countour is waste but still pretty cool

Someone inserted the spaces in the wrong place in the tts

I think it's a great product. A Fiver voice would have been better.

Why not just 3d print and get much higher accuracy from a tool that costs substantially more?? 3D print material is very cheap, especially in small applications like this.

*breathes in in AI-voice*

fuck that ai vois but nice produckt

How are the pins set?

Beautiful! A problem that is also encountered with additive manuf. is that that of surface finishing. Consumers have developed a likeness for smooth and beautiful finishes which will take extra steps for these techniques to make.

The problem is 3d printing exists. In what world does this device beat out a 3d printed mold for use with a vacuformer?

Biggest drawback is its only useful for one side(open ended) moulding with no undercuts, splits etc. basically anything that is hemispherical

I like this idea. How big can the polymorphic tooling become? Can it reach 8 feet x 5 feet for the big stuff?

This is fascinating technology, but I'm really curious how you got this far in your promotional material without noticing that you have "F-you" in your name. Or is that like the point, that it becomes a meme and generates free exposure? Because I cannot unsee that and I really want to know what's happening there. It reads like a joke.

Invented? It’s pin matrix tooling. First patent was filed in the late 1800s 😂

Pin matrix tooling is an older concept than the internal combustion engine. It’s impractical and therefore doesn’t survive the real world.

faster then 3d printing lets see, injection molding, thermo plastic forming, any metal injection molding.... should i go on? most of which require sure 1 rather 1000$ 2000$ mold... but then can be used to make 10,000 pieces atleast before it wears out, considering is a case that will be post polished and colored upon etc... maybe even 1 million cases per mold... so 1000/2000$ in a mold as a investment is pennies on a dollar... yea... 3d printed is great for prototyping... and that is about it... if u are chasing production, speed and quality .... 3d printing is not the answer.... in mass production never have been, but idiots and unneducated pseudo intelectuals, and dreammy DIY hobbists are insane... so ... let them keep doing same thing over and over again expecting different results.

Then washing chips for an hour from these pins )

It looks like a scam

It's looks like a scam

Infinitely variable work holding vise eh? Very trick!

This is extremely cool! Love the comparison to a kids toy. Also, don't let a New Yorker read the company name to a crowd. ;)

Very interesting idea. I wonder if 3d mold can be made like this.

i fckin swear i got this idea like 5 years ago

That's a complicated process that could be replaced by a CNC router.

i imagined this one time

This is great now I just need someone who is t gonna sell it for tonnes of money to make it

In what applications does this beat 3d printing?

Этой технологии уже дохрена лет, придумали они опять, революшен джони

00:08 This part killing me wwwwww

Not a new idea. Needs a flexible layer over the pins for smoother finish.

Can the mould be used in manual mode by using a template to set the pattern?

Now do it with a real voice actor who sounds like he's having a heart attack. Cool product though!

Can you say something about how you raise the individual pins? Do you have one column of actuators and push out the pins column by column?

AI voice. Not trustworthy.

Very curious how the pins are controlled. Probably some kind of moving modifier and a locking mechanism per pin? It's probably not economic to have control for each pin. Cool product!

nice work

the pins at 0:30 dont look well aligned. theres many holes. I doubt that it's at micron accuracy
