Hey Josef what doe's it take to become a reseller for your products, I live in northern California usa and I have a 3d printer store, I'm dropping a few of my brands, any chance of becoming a reseller ?
Wow! Im used to seeing rough prints from just passing our local hackspace - had not realized printing had moved on so FAST. That Groot was amazing. Thank you!
Excellent video, Christopher. I'm almost shaking my head in disbelief at the progress of this amazing tech. I love videos like this that make me feel as if I am watching a Sci-Fi movie.
Thanks for putting this video up for those of us who are unable to visit the show, will have to view again to get all that terminology into my head. Lol
Thanks for covering the show in detail. I couldn’t make it this year, but you got around most of what I wanted to see. I wanted to ask all of the exhibitors selling metal machines if they could 3d print plastic injection moulds.
The answer would probably be yes, if with some surface finishing. Machines like that from Sodick (which 3D prints in metal, then offers CNC milling) may be best for this purpose.
FYI sintered metal is also used to make rocket motors aka Rockets about here in NZ who have already done their first launch.... at their spaceport on the Maria Peninsula near Gisbourne FYI... great video and it's good to get to see current progress....Rgds Laurie Aneta A8 kit and 3018 mini cnc router kit...
Great report on a fantastic show Chris. I did see you there and obviously wanted to say a personal thank you for all you do, but you were concentrating on lining up your shots so I didn't think it was polite to disturb you. Maybe next year.
Oh whoa! This is was such a good episode. 3D printing really gets me excited to start making things. Lots of ideas running through my head 😍👍 Thanks for covering this, Chris. You da man!
I am an old guy but here are some pearls of wisdom on your thoughts. Look at the vid again and concider 3DP-Platform. They have a model "3DP-Platform #400 that has a workbed 58" on "X"axis x 39"wide on "Y"axis x 27&3/4"hieght on "Z"axis. I am assuming your still young enough to get on a life choise plan. First look at "SolidProfessor"(Solidworks teaching tutorial) they give out free a few lessons to give you exposesure to Solidworks 3D design. You can put your designs into files that can be loaded in that 3DP400 . Picture this: print plastic cores of body or frame components(even if they are longer than your printers workbed) that are light&ridiged. Read a book on wood joinery. Then you can give up 3" of of two printings in a sandwich/finger joints, and even though a Mustangs quarter panel might be longer than one printing by itself. By designing in mating holes in the corners of your printing by using Solidworks, you can bond two printings with Lamello Invis (invisable detachable joining) store.swissinvis.com/ . Even in putting two printings that have multiple curved surface geometry these connectors(8mm.,12mm.,and 30mm.) will pull all of your body panel core together at 260kgs. of pull(12mm. 9/16ths"). Once you have your body panel then use carbon fiber(colored or not) to wrap with epoxy for finished products. Note some eight graders have achieved CSWP or CSWA licences where taught in some school systems. Certified SolidWorks Professionals(3.2 million world wide). Next step is learning "rendering" softwares to show your customers various near life-like views of their finished autos. I just gave you a view of your family's sucess if you get curious enough to search the web. The Lamello Invis is a little(probably no one knows) trade secrate.
Great video giving an excellent insight into the TCT exhibition. I have a LulzBot Mini and I follow the 3D printing industry quite closely. I anticipate remarkable developments over the next few years with product personalisation likely to become the norm.
Nice video Chris that Firefly printer sweet print out the case and a custom pcb a sbc and a display of my choice plus a Lipo batteries pack and put my dream device in my bag .
Great coverage thank you. I am sad to see only one company decided to produce a new full colour 3D printer but I'm glad the da Vinci XYZ printer is there! They really need to get another marketing department though.
Thanks for making this video. I had no idea of all this happening and I learned a lot from watching it! I texted the link to this video to my son in college studying computer science. Cheers!
I have been a computer enthusiast for many years but must confess 3D printing was a mystery to me. Watched your video with interest, seems the days of pouring molten steel into moulds are over. What struck me was, during your video the only company I'd ever heard of was HP.
Some amazing machines. I remember when laser printers were four or five grand... and now you can get one for £200. I'm hoping these 3D printers will follow the same trend.
I predict that it's only going to be a few years until very affordable, high quality 3D printers for the home will become a mainstream market commodity. Looking forward to that time.
Chis I'm thankful you shared this video. Its been quit some time since the last show and the updates are amazing. Did Carbon 3D have any update on their new medical applications?
Imagine a duplicator. You place an object you want copied inside, and tell the computer to duplicate it, reverse it, make a scale model, etc. The computer eyeballs it, finds a build plan online, asks you to verify, then starts printing.
damn i didnt know this show was happening... Too late now i would have loved to have visited... like the video btw has a very 70s open university bbc 2 education feel about it :p kinda nostalgic :p
Josh Samuelson They will sell spools of material that stop halfway in because the chip in the spool says it's empty and they will take you to court if you do anything to bypass it.
You could. And using a 3D printing bureau service -- such as i.materialise -- you could do so in a range of materials, including metals! Nice things to print pens -- potentially intricate, but small, so not too expensive to print.
why don't they make an extrusion plane, instead of just a tiny nozzle, a flexible plane that by flexing opens up holes, where the plastic materials can me extruded simultaneously, controlled by a computer that sends the 3D slice data to the sheet, and that way prints faster. Just an idea.
A very neat idea. This happens in resin-based printers. It also happens in so-termed DOD "drop on demand" extrusion models, that kind of spray hot plastic.
Do any of those manufacturers sell any 3d printer for around USD $500,00? Are you going to use any ESP32 developement board for your robotics projects? You changed the intro again!
The intro has not changed (well, it was tweaked very slightly back in July 2017). There are lots of 3D printers for $50K or less. You could, for example, get a couple of the large 3D Platform models for that, one of the non-colour Polyjet printers, and just about a Desktop Metal system.
Great info, as always! I noticed only 6 dislikes and approaching 1K likes. The trolls are either tired, lazy, or encamped at an off-grid site for the weekend! Finally!
3d printed shoes and sport shoes.. theyre probably super light and that comb porous design means excellent airflow. Not to mention ease of manufacturing lol. It should be dirt cheap in a decade.
Can any of them print money, cause you will need some after buying one. I'm guessing where they really make their money is with the printing media (ink). I see HP is definitely thinking along those lines. It's funny, you can buy inkjet printers nowadays for less than the ink cartridges. Anyhow, thanks for the very informative video!
Honestly, l am a big fan of him .l found the other videos to be more interesting. Its just my personal opinion.I was expecting some single board computer video this week. I have learned a lot from his videos that is why l wait for the clock to tic 2'o clock and check whether a new video is uploaded
Metal parts are not really usable straight out of the printer because the material they are made of is very porous and needs several treatment to be able to use them as real metal parts !
This is simply not true. DMLS, electron beam melting and laser cusing are now being used to manufacture aerospace, medical and other final parts with minimal finishing required (and no post processing). Certainly there are additive manufacturing processes that produce relatively porous metal parts (like those from ExOne and Desktop Metal). But don't judge an industry by one technology alone (something I see happen repeatedly in 3D printing). GE did not invest $1.4bn in direct metal 3D printing to make parts that do not at least meet the properties of those made by casting or machining. :)
Love the way you categorized the new products into their specific technology.
I love the full color 3d printers. That's something I've been waiting to see become more widespread for quite a while.
Shame you didn’t take a look at our booth and new MK3 :-/ maybe next year
Yes, sorry -- I could not cover everything in the day I had. Next year as you say. :)

Was great to meet you at TCT! Amazing video and great explanation of the various technology! Thank you Christopher.
Thanks for putting this video up for those of us who are unable to visit the show, will have to view again to get all that terminology into my head.
Lol
I might have to show this video to my students this week, we have two Ultimaker 2's and one XYZ 3D printer. Another great video, thank you Chris!
Amazing advances in 3D technology! Another brilliant video presentation. Many thanks!
Thanks for covering the show in detail. I couldn’t make it this year, but you got around most of what I wanted to see. I wanted to ask all of the exhibitors selling metal machines if they could 3d print plastic injection moulds.

A fascinating video, presented in great quality. The standard of your camera work is outstanding.
Thanks. :)
This technology is going to change our world in ways we can't even imagine yet. I'm really looking forward to it.
Another great video Chris. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Looks like fun.
Great video. Nice to see a line up what's out there in the 3D printer space.
Great report on a fantastic show Chris.
I did see you there and obviously wanted to say a personal thank you for all you do, but you were concentrating on lining up your shots so I didn't think it was polite to disturb you. Maybe next year.
You should have disturbed me -- next year as you say. :)
This is just soooo mind blowing, there're sooo many way's of 3D printing stuff,from lasers,moving platforms and plastic etc,,,
Oh whoa! This is was such a good episode. 3D printing really gets me excited to start making things. Lots of ideas running through my head 😍👍 Thanks for covering this, Chris. You da man!
Thanks. I'm glad this got you thinking. Me too! There are so many possibilities raised by this technology. :)

Extremely interesting video, always love how you put the information together
Always a treat thanks Christopher.
Wow! Loving how fast 3D printer tech is advancing. Can't wait to see what it'll be like in 5 10 or 15 years time.
Wow!! Just amazing!! Thanks for the 3D Printing Tour and updates on the latest.
I am excited for the future of 3D printing in a consumer sense :D
great video. very informative, well-organized and well-presented.
Very interesting, indeed, but you have only wetted my appetite for more! Could you make a video about scanning programs?
Nice video Chris that Firefly printer sweet print out the case and a custom pcb a sbc and a display of my choice plus a Lipo batteries pack and put my dream device in my bag .
amazing machines, thanks for the video
Great coverage thank you. I am sad to see only one company decided to produce a new full colour 3D printer but I'm glad the da Vinci XYZ printer is there! They really need to get another marketing department though.
Very nicely presented! Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks. :)
another professional report chris, awesome!
Very informative video which covers lots of 3d tech. Thanks 👍
Thanks for making this video. I had no idea of all this happening and I learned a lot from watching it! I texted the link to this video to my son in college studying computer science. Cheers!
Would love to see more high-end metal 3D printing technologies with precision CNC etc.
very high quality video again. Thanks!
That was an awesome presentation!
Miss your pi (SBC)videos.
They will return. Not everybody here likes SBC videos. :)
ExplainingComputers maybe a router using SBC.
You miss them? where did they go?
ExplainingComputers Maybe a video about Pi as a music player controlled by IOS apps?
Great video Iv heard of 3d printing didn't interest me till I saw your video thanx for all your videos love them :)
Very impressive expanding technology.
Well done! Thanks for this !
please go back in 70's
Un abrazo desde Argentina. muy bien trabajo .
:)
Very nice video, very informative.

I bet that CMYK full color printer is going to be expensive to buy as well as to run... but still, wow!
EC should be read as Exciting Channel.
Thanks! :)
How about reviewing a popular budget 3d printer. Like an anet a8?
I am thinking about doing so 3D printer videos/reviews -- I have quite a few hardware offers . . .
Great Work
Love the idea of printable PCBs from Nano Dimension's Dragonfly. Dear Santa...
I hope that Santa is listening. They can do 10 layer PCBs! :)
damn i didnt know this show was happening... Too late now i would have loved to have visited... like the video btw has a very 70s open university bbc 2 education feel about it :p kinda nostalgic :p
Must get myself one these machines! Anyone care to make a recommendation for a machine suitable for a serious amateur?
It depends how much you want to spend! :) The machines from Lulzbot and Ultimaker are well respected.
What an interesting show.
Thanks John. :)
So will HP also sell plastic or powder that is worth more than gold per ounce as well? lol
Josh Samuelson They will sell spools of material that stop halfway in because the chip in the spool says it's empty and they will take you to court if you do anything to bypass it.
I liked the "Baby Tree Hands" comment, I suscribed x)
Thanks for the sub. :) Groot will be pleased.
Fantastic stuff...thanks
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
See any who could print transistors? Or memristor?
Does anybody know if all these 3D printers do is make preset designs or can it be made to configure an original figurine?
They print any CAD file or scan you send to them. No two things they print have to be the same. :)
Recommend me a printer to print colored potraits
I did not see the concrete printer :(
No concrete printer at the show I'm afraid . . .
james from x robots is amazing i wonder how much help he gets from sponsors
James does indeed do cool stuff on his channel. Always great to watch.
Within 10 years the industrial quality will come down to consumer printers also filaments will become cheaper and printing times will reduce
Very nice vídeo!
cracking episode , now where do i expropriate a 3d printer comrade ?
Expropriate? I like that. I'm going to commandeer it.
only if you can stop time stealing away , PROCRASTINATOR
I want to go
I hope to talk to you very soon as well.
Tables have been turned
This got me thinking. I recently got into the fountain Pen collecting hobby. I thought.. I could make my own pens. 😄
You could. And using a 3D printing bureau service -- such as i.materialise -- you could do so in a range of materials, including metals! Nice things to print pens -- potentially intricate, but small, so not too expensive to print.

ExplainingComputers thanks for the info :)
0:48 that ringing tho. I would not show that off at a trade show.
BRB, I can hear my Prusa MK2S crying next door
I need a refillable Super 8 film cartridge :)
Well done
Someone needs to come out with a 3-D printer that makes a 3-D printers

What's it smells like in here?
DID he just say BABY TREE? IT'S BABY GROOT!
I said it/he was Groot -- but Groot here is a baby tree!
Don't forget most of the 3d printers are open source repraps
Not anymore. The bulk sellers of 3D printing are now companies like XYZ Printing (the number one seller), who sell closed-source models.
Very impressive, but if nobody can print a workable Mr. Scissors, it's all for naught.
👍
I saw 2015,2016 tct show and it look almost the same. This should have been an explaining the future video.
I am experimenting! I have other new content planned for ExplainingTheFuture.
Basil Sunny no. 2015 wasnt the same. Quit being a jealous nag. The man makes quality video with great content and you do nothing, stop criticising.
Honestly, l am a big fan of him .l found the other videos to be more interesting. Its just my personal opinion.I was expecting some single board computer video this week. I have learned a lot from his videos that is why l wait for the clock to tic 2'o clock and check whether a new video is uploaded

Elon Musk could probably use a few of these on his Martian city
JonnyInfinite spacex already use the metal powder 3D printing to make parts for their engines.
Metal parts are not really usable straight out of the printer because the material they are made of is very porous and needs several treatment to be able to use them as real metal parts !

9:03 that print is disgracefully unclean, and the machine is pointlessly proprietary. that is so HP printers. :D
I am Groot...
Cool.
Now we know what happened th Harry Potter if he failed at becoming a wizard
Unless items can be printed out of metal instead of plastic, 3D printing is pretty much useless for any serious applications in the real-world.
Yes, and items can be printed out of metal -- as clearly shown in this video. :)
First 'constructive' comment. (Do you see what I did there?)
I thought it was mine! :D
Very clever! :)
2nd : )
Silver medal! :)
