You made (and I say this with all respect for the technological voodoo you've created)
A spider butthole.
That impressive but can it print benchy
seems unlikely...
This person's asking the real questions
It probably can. The arm has enough movement to print one.
Looks a lot like the extruder from Westworld printers
Christopher Bogart and so it begins
They only knows how to copy.
That's awesome...but what's a practical application for it? I'm left scratching my head thinking of what you can make with it other than "webbing".
literally freaking anything that's kind of the point
@@kingmasterlord it seems like “freaking anything” is limited to... wavy lines that stand on their own? At least based on everything they showed in the video
Its takes an idea first then you can build upon that. I'm sure this will ignite something great. If nothing else get people away from their linear concepts of "how 3d printing should be" and inspire them to expirement with there own extruder design.
my idea for tech like this, isnt the machine, it's the shape it makes. create this same structure in a multi-material filament, ABS cored PLA with this geometry, that way the printer can print much more elaborate shapes with less support, saving cost on manufacturing and creating a stronger part.
Jeah. Maybe use a strong center filament like kevlar, something like nylon on the outside.
Applications? Just get creative, maybe thats how we will build suspension bridge cables in the future. Or structures in space, who nows?
I dont think the guy who invented steam engines thought about wankel engines.
A lot of work was put into this... But it all just seems like an art project.
It's not, this experiment teaches us about the structural strength of spider webs.
@@saveusfromidiocracy35 I would say, firstly, because of the difference in material durability from molecular alignment. Due to laminar flow when molten plastic is forced through a nozzle or a mold, the molecules making up the material align while cooling. Unfortunately, any 3d printer that prints layers loses this benefit; instead, molecular-aligned layers are adhered to one another, separated by a joint created by the outside surface of the extrusion. The outer surface of the extrusion has cooled at a different rate than the material in the center of the extrusion and material adhesion suffers as a result. If you're interested, you can learn more about these principles by studying mold-flow dynamics.
No this technology is the future. Instead of making a space station on earth and sending it up to space, if this was developed further, you could 3d print a space station optimized to be as light as possible as there wouldn't be the confines of gravity and in doing so, save on the cost of sending payloads to space. I would imagine it like a skeleton for structure covered in a thin layer some material like HDPE the protects from radiation.
@@rochamocha5705 you still have to send all that mass to space. hardly saves any cost.
@@raam1666 yea but you dont have to send that mass already formed. Therefore when assembled in space it can span a much greater volume and surface area
Very Impressive! Could be an idea to individually control each print head to provide more control and flexibility. I would imagine that it would allow you to refine the structure for those individual strands that see higher compressive forces and those that experience higher tensile forces etc.
I would love a guide to the cooling system on that thing it looks amazing
One future step for kind of microprinting of special material.. Good work
be good if they showed it actually printing something was practical
Superb engineering. Class of its own. Have potential that will be visible very soon. Am I wrong dear author? Only engineers could foresee that. All the best👍
The problem with that is that that specific 3d printer is limited as to what it can do. From the looks of it, there's no print bed. Filament will ooze out of the extruders because it's trying to print in thin air (which can't be done). I'm more interested to see the programming aspect of this and see how it all works.
Pure Genius.
I can't wait for the day that tech like this is used to assemble skeletons for in-orbit projects. Could probably even use this for rapid scaffolding of taller Earth-bound structures, as well. Miniaturization of this technology might be a bit challenging, though, if there's interest in the textile industry for it.
Impressive!
That's such cool idea
It should print a structure like tower cranes to take bending loads.
really cool concept
what program they use for the arduino interface with the kuka robot
Hello ManufacTube ! Great video! I noticed links to the video were widely enjoyed by KUKA social media fans. Would it be all right if I upload this video to KUKA Robotics social media accounts? If so, I'd be happy to include a link back to your TH-cam channel.
Amazing project ! Just wondering how did you control the kuka and how did you generate the tool path?
(Magic)
they controlled it with custom software with a sprinkle of hopes and dreams to make something useless.
Looks cool, but does it actually do anything useful besides just webbing itself into plastic spaghetti?
It will trap robo flies
Pretty sick
Printing self-supporting 1D structure is interesting. However, the print head and the robot arm make it impossible to print any useful wire mesh structure.
If spiderman had a robot child this would be it. Oh, when can I have my own kuka...
I'm not too sure why we need to print this shape so much. does it produce something other than artwork?
厉害 不需要支撑结构就可以打印了
this is incredible, and so, so creepy.
Isn't this like a complicated giant 3d pen on a robot. I mean I get it it was a lot of work, and interesting study. Maybe it will become like something useful.
Its cool. But whats the practical application of this thing. It seems more artistic than useful.
Very good performance, congrats
thought they would use a 3-phase wave so there was continued support in any part of a structure rather than a narrow weak point every 20mm...
good idea
Yeah I'd have thought they would make a three-sided truss (with 6 extruders total)
@@BrotherCreamy Art vs engineering I guess.
MAZING!
Muito bom, como seria se os nós fossem defasados uns dos outros em 120 graus?
what program they use for the aruduino interface with the kuka robot
I really like the idea behind this, but i habe a few additions to your solution. Obviusly you have to dry your filament.
Why not use a Single nozzle with Flowregulation and good cooling?
Lastly, a nozzle with regulatable diameter would be a realy nice Addition, so you could produce these web structures inside of your web structures.
Good work
what you did was attach of 3D printer to a Automotive robotic arm. this does give you the six-point axes degree of freedom to print any direction.
This is terrifying
Imagine what kind of art you can create with this technology
Beautiful 😍
It's very very cool, but you only have footage of it printing just one model
You sure did something. idk what its for but you did it....
I wonder if this could have an application in construction?
This makes no sense structurally speaking.
best ever
application?
shanghai !!
Nice
Hi ...please can I ask you if you are able to send me the technical model of the 3D printing head in a 3Ds or DWG OBJ file ...
on a nano level this tech could be used to edit dna code..pure genius
Не лень же людям. Молодцы, я бы не решился на такой проект.
but what you'll do with this?
Think of it as scaffolding that could be potentially filled in with foam, concrete...etc. To be used to build solid structures that are very strong.
asteroid tethers that can be custom built on site which will secure asteroid for mining and/or precise orbital bombardment trajectory.
Josh Andreacchio Not scaffolding for building in the conventional sense that would be stupid. I'm saying it becomes a support structure for lighter materials such as expandable foam in the same way rebar is used in concrete.
lol, i thinksome people also not sure what this invention used for. Maybe this invention will be really useful but within a few years or even a few decades from now xD but we must support it!
Josh Andreacchio The invention is the extruder head not the arm that controls it. the issue with steel mesh and rebar is that it's far more challenging to shape than extruded plastic. imagine if all of the extruders had a continuous strand of carbon fiber laid down in the center of the filament. It's strength to weight would demolish steel. You should also do more research on what filaments are currently available, it's not all brittle PLA and ABS anymore.
👍👍👍
Oh look.. one thread is blue..
Why this good? This is what to do with classical technologies...
I wonder, if you used a stronger material, could this possibly build the beginning structures for a space elevator? either working down to the ground, or sending the structure down from a stationary orbit.
Now, make it spit kevlar or titanium/tungsten carbide,make it 100 times smaller and 100 times faster and you can begin to dress like Spiderman !! XD
Pretty but not useful really, that pattern goes fast in an existing machine for regular injection. The only place where a 3d printer may be used vs an innection mold is when it is one off or just a few.
Que the Westworld Opening Theme music.
and wtf is the frame for?????????
Release the files for this, I need to do this! I have a few ways to improve it! This needs to be Open-Source!
If you have ways to improve it, then why do you need files for it? Just make it yourself, it's really not that difficult. 6axis arms are already a widely built item, and you have the design of the mechanism at 0:41 and the exploded version at 0:44 so you already have everything you need to help design your own.
Xander Zoolander It is true, I could design and built one myself, I intend to. I have experience with multi axis arms, however, it would save time for me if I did not have to program the entire 3D Printing part of it. I am very curious how the programming for the 3d printing is more than anything else. A 6 axis arm is a 6 axis arm, however, 3D printing requires a lot of tuning and trial and error.
It would save more [time] than you may be willing to admit to modify an existing design compared to completely reverse engineering or engineering my own solution. I value my time and would prefer people not waste it if there is no real reason to. That design belongs on github.
It's just a simple extrusion mechanism, with three (could add more) secondary extruders that move up and down to form a sinusoidal pattern. It's all motor driven, and the speed of the extrusion most likely depends on the speed the arm is moving.
I admit reverse engineering software is harder, but you have motor driven extruders and a motor driven mechanism. The speed of the arm's motion should directly change the speed of the extrusion. All you need in code is to put the motor speeds of the separate joints of the arm as an input and output that as the speed of the extrusion and the mechanism that moves the extruders.
I also doubt there's any form of cad/cam/slicer software for this. This was most likely used with a basic control system of joysticks or something. And with a non-cnc based system of control, this further proves the concept that the extruder mechanism and extrusion motors are directly controlled by the speed of the motion of the arm.
The speed of the arm is either determined by accelerometers and gyroscopes, or the speed of the individual motors are used. If the latter, there might be input and output ratios involved as each motor's function could greatly change the speed of the motion; example, the base rotation is probably much slower than the speed of the movement of the arm, so where the base motor could have a 1:1 ratio with the extrusion/extruder mechanism, one of the motors in the arm's joint could have a smaller ratio; this would then add complexity of finding the average of all the motors if more than one motion is occurring.
But in the end, the mechanism that moves the secondary extruders, and the extrusion motors, are most likely directly controlled by the movement speed(s) of the arm itself. The only exception would be the rotating 'wrist' part, as that only turns one axis of where the extruders are and has minimal effect on any of the movement speeds.
+Kevin Delaney It's quite arrogant of you to make statements like "this needs to be open source" and "that design belongs on github". Why should you benefit from the hard work of others?
OU812 I don't think that what it really means
Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , over 30 years experience , robot arm gear reducer
what for? art?
If you rewind the video it looks like the robot eats the string :D
At 3X
Wtf is that all it does?
It's a caterpillar
Very unfortunate name if this ever launches in the nordic market haha.
Смысл?
под видом стартапа - бабки легализуют
but why
Is this for hobbits catching?
Complicated 😳
Cool, a few hundred thousand to make a mess.
This mess is super strong.
For some reason this creeps me out
because it's the same motion as a spider?
It's cool, but what is it good for besides Theory
Но зачем?
imagine the intelligence of god
drugs amiright
more useful if it was a CNC than 3d Printer
Doesn't look like anything to me
It's look like a very strong spider webs like structure to me. I think you're blind.
@@luongmaihunggia Simp 😁
?
I'm thinking it could replace the iron bars on construction sites.
The kind that welders fuse together before concrete is poured into them.
You could unlock a whole 'nother realm of architecture with this.
看见一堆外行在评论里高潮
А нащо це, типу просто для краси?
4 years later, i guess it is dead project now.
лучше бы сделали робота который кричит.
Нафига
aaand what is the point with this, can only make this 1 thing, a useless string of plastic.
Хрень, но конструкция интересная
Ну и нахера?
looks like a big waste of resources
It's not, this experiment teaches us about the structural strength of spider webs.
While doing that project kuka learned a thing or two about spiders .....
looks pretty useless
Not so impressive. It's just 4 printing nozzles on a KUKA robotic arm. An innovative thing would have been to make the robot print on the sides of an object so that supports will be irrelevant. But making figures without any sense ... nah ... not hot.
Okay but thats kinda useless
useless machine 5.000.000
Useless expensive crap.
waste money and time...
