You guys thing in two dimensions... Can't You see obvious advantage? Short production. Like about 10-70 pieces. In werid shapes! AND YOU CAN ADD MATERIAL! To damaged parts! Or to make inner structures! (Coolant tubes or so)
I seriously neglect to see how this would be of any benefit to the CNC manufacturing world. Cool tech demo but nothing more than that. This would exponentially increase the time and cost of machining parts!
Well not really, I can see one major advantage of this technology. That is jig-less and billet-less machining. Three things that prevents a part to immediately go from CAM to CNC are material, jigs and tools. Tools are usually already in the shop inventory or are quick to order. Billet material have to be ordered and prepared in appropriate sizes. This usually takes about 3 days depending on the material and size. Jigs and work holder also have to be ordered or custom made. This could take a few days also. In this time frame a 3d printer/CNC hybrid might have processed several orders already! I think if used right, the quick turn around advantage especially on titanium and iconel machining is very interesting indeed.
@@hyphen2612 I guess it really depends on what you're making. Also the skill and experience of the CNC programmer and machinists you work with. The place I work does primarily military and aerospace contracts and when it comes to making custom fixtures/jigs, it usually only takes us less than an hour or two to custom make our fixtures, and fully set up the machine to begin production (even on some of our extremely complex parts. That being said however, does ultimately come down to the competence of the people you work with. I consider myself extremely lucky to work with some exceptionally intelligent people who really know their stuff!
@@tken93 Yeah well, an interesting technology that might have advantage in some applications. The demo showed aluminum, which isn't going to be cost effective to use this method because the material is so inexpensive and material removal rate so high, it'd make more sense to mill the part out of billet material. It's gotta be some expensive stuff like Ti15333 where if you are going to hollow out 70% of the material, it just might make sense to additively build a rough stock using this method.
Looking forward to these solutions available for the hobby level price point!
Absolutely fantastic! It's exactly the direction we should be going.
So cool!
Круто. То что нужно
Oh boy. I really want to buy this and couple it with a 4th axis... it would be awesome
i wonder if you could use inconel wire and machine a 2 piece exhaust manifold and weld it together at the seams
cant wait to see this on a 4th axis
Are you guys hiring? This is what im trying to do with my life!
Like this since 5 years ago...? How about their latest technology?
Can i use this video for educational purpose?
I NEED 3D METAL PRINTER.。
What's your buildup rates in kg/h? Or some other strange unit for the yankees?
Thats a MIG welder lol. Gonna be pretty hard to get that print off the bed!
As luck would have it the CNC can be used as a CNC to cut it off the CNC print bed using its CNC cutting head.
@@MattJonesYT lets see a 3 axis cnc cut off ONLY the first layer haha
HOW MUCH？？？？.。

Can. A,enclosed parts with internal structure - can’t be machined as a single part.
Try a honeycomb internal web.
Imagine it more like a dual nozzle 3d printer. Metal prototyping
