  • In this video, I experiment making stainless steel living hinges using a 2000W fiber laser to cut out different patterns commonly used with wood. I will be doing future video of hand formable sheet metal parts.
    My favorite shop gloves: amzn.to/2xHJDx6
    Here's a link to the patterns used in this video:

    Adolf's Law: if you draw any repeating pattern using right angles, sooner or later you'll end up with swastikas.

      It beats a bandsaw, that’s for sure! It's cutting the 0.062" stainless steel in the beginning of the video at about 700 ipm and the other patterns at 1100 ipm!

    It's not the best way of making hand formable parts, but it looks pretty and is more of an artistic approach. Do a quick image search of living hinges and you'll see example of practical application. Also, the yield limit is not the same as the solid sheet. The material yield is the same, but I can bend the "bracket" pattern about 90 degrees and it still returns to flat. The solid sheet yields pretty quickly at about 10 degrees. Someone with an idea could design something they could hand form themselves without proper sheetmetal tools and save a lot of money on shipping because it ships flat.

    Wow this was fun to watch. I wasn't sure if the footage was sped up. The laser cutters I've seen so far couldn't cut wood at that speed. How powerful is that laser? With all that molten/burning metal flying around, how does the lens stay clean?

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The laser is 2000 Watts. There is a 3000L liquid nitrogen tank seen at the end of the video that purges the cut and forcefully ejects the molten metal downward.

  • @weaseltown
    @weaseltown 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question. I've been looking into getting a laser cutter, and of course a fiber laser seems like the clear choice for cutting metal. However, most of the low-wattage fiber lasers are stationary, and this is clearly on a flatbed, which seems to be more common with cO2 lasers. My question is: is there a particular brand that makes fiber lasers in consumer-level configurations (7-12k price range) that do what's shown here, or am I out of my league?

  • @iian_
    @iian_ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    cool. how much heat does this transfer to the metal? Its obviously safe to touch but is it warm?

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, it's slightly warm. High pressure nitrogen is ejecting molten metal out the back of the metal before the heat really has a chance to spread.

    • @nebnoswel
      @nebnoswel 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      In this case yah, exact same concept, but "living hinge" is used any time a hinge is made of one solid piece. Think like a dvd case where the hinge is the same piece of plastic as the front and back.

    • @JeremyCook
      @JeremyCook 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    do fiber laser cutters have any "high" running costs, like waterjet or co2 lasers?

    • @CNCGuy
      @CNCGuy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On the contrary they are very cheap to run as compared to a similar co2 laser. A new 2 kw fiberlaser can outperform a 4kw co2. I've seen a 2kw cut through 1 inch steel at 25ipm.

My question is: Aside from those pattern you've demonstrated, will your application work on 2-3 inches diameter of round stainless plates (2.5-3mm thick) to turn it on a 2d medallions? Is it easy for you to centralize a given pattern? I am asking you because you may be the right person to contact about my projects and I might need your professional help one day. Thanks in advance.

      Not trying to be snarky - I just don't see the usefulness of those patterns as "living hinges" - seems like a lot of equipment, and a lot of time to get very little in results - the laser cutter itself is way cool.

    • @ProtoG42

      lol, too late for that. Do a quick search for living hinges. Obviously that is not the sole purpose of the machine but living hinges allow for hand formable enclosures, chairs and other parts with spring like features. In addition to functional parts, making parts for sculptures and artistic signage is something we also do.

    I liked the triangle one, but it looked like some of the angles that it wanted to bend at ran at a diagonal to that section you left at the top giving it too much rigidity... I wonder if that might have something to do with it not being as "functional" as the rest of them... >_>

    ...A Thumbs up.......nice work, even if it is just a demonstration....I'm guessing to avoid the issues with cutting stainless this thin, with any 'HOT' source...Plasma, laser....you'd want pretty high current source and fast travels....impressive that the machine can follow the pattern at that speed with no visible distortion in the finished parts..! One of the advantages of Fiber Lasers...very little moving weight... How do the optics stand up to the high number of 'piercings'.....I know that's an issue with Laser, plasma and even Oxy/acet...I've done alloy of oxy/acet and plasma by hand...always tried to do piercings with a 'tilt-in'...and if possible, I'd drill 'pilot' holes....

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      With fiber lasers, ther are no mirrors that can be damaged or misaligned like a co2 laser. There is a quartz lens that is purely to protect from debris traveling up the head that is optically clear. It just needs to be cleaned every few weeks with alcohol.

    I think there's probably changes that could be made to optimize the technique for the material. Steel is already pretty ductile, the ability to transfer and absorb stress is a big part of what makes steel strong. As a result patterns aimed mostly at increasing ductility might not really be as useful as some hypothetical pattern that improves on other properties where steel is weaker.

      Regular air will oxidize metal and result in discoloration of the areas surrounding the cut. Yes, we use oxygen to cut thick steel but the edges are very dark and need to be cleaned up.

    Can that laser cut 1/8" or 3mm aluminum?

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Justin Bell It can cut up to about 9mm aluminum. Email me if you need any parts made at protogmanufacturing@gmail.com

      Proto G what kind of pricing would you charge for different parts?

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That depends on several parameters. Lead time, material & thickness, material finish, hardware, post burn operations like deburring, packing shipping, how well the part was drawn, etc.

      I saw 25mm Steel recently, astonishing i can say

    I notice the laser cutter went with the longest route (as evident during the 3rd piece cutting process) as the most efficient use of the 'on' time. Never seen this process before, so this might be a silly question but doesn't it produce intense heat (since you seem to be able to handle the finished work with your bare hands)?

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stainless steel has a very poor thermal conductivity so it isn't very good at spreading heat. The laser beam is about 0.006"(0.1524mm) and the cut is being purged with high pressure nitrogen gas. It's barely warm after it's done. Thicker parts and aluminum parts do get quite a bit hotter though.

      I'm not sure, it has lasted 6 months so far. The machine cuts new slats for itself but we scrub them with a wire brush on an angle grinder.

    You might want to try mixing your audio down to mono for the last bit when you were talking. It sounded like you were both intermittently blocking a noise source and perhaps moving from behind the mic to in front of it causing really odd phasing effects.

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is from me trying to filter out the background noise in my video editor. It's really loud in the shop and it's hard to even hear me without reducing background noise in post. It also distort my voice a bit when I do that but it's better than not being able to hear me. I need a better mic with adjustable gain and filtering.

    What’s the point of the z axis travel on a laser cutter

    • @ProtoG42
      @ProtoG42  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Several reasons. Parts can tip up and hit the nozzle. We can also cut enclosures and parts that are already formed so it cuts more than just sheet metal. There are two beds, a top and lower bed so the z axis has around a 15" reach. Another reason is to prevent warping. If a part has a lot of features too close together, it's better to raise the head to allow the heat to spread more evenly.
