- Discover the future of 3D printing with Rapid Liquid Printing (RLP)! This groundbreaking technology prints directly into a vat of gel, enabling faster, more efficient production of complex designs. Unlike traditional 3D printing, RLP doesn’t rely on layers or supports-the gel holds the material as it hardens, allowing for incredible flexibility and intricate geometries. From custom handbags to sturdy furniture, the possibilities are endless. Watch now to see how RLP is transforming manufacturing!

So now I could buy old 3D printer cause they will go cheaper can't i
I think with this rocket chamber will be easy to make
I don't speak English well but if you're wondering, that gel is water based, it's non-toxic and can be reused to print the next model.... Just saying.
**speaks english well**
Water based gell 😏
@@AbdulHalim-nk8dk🤭
But i wonder, if the gel its used too much, you dont need to change it?
So.... It's durex lube?
It was first introduced in 2015 and please don’t just mention it can be used to make bags. It’s mainly used for bioprinting, which is to print parts of the body, particularly soft tissues, organs, and hearts.
Oooh! Cool
Holy sh*t that's nice
The printer made a bag
I was wondering if this would lead to that. Thanks for the info.
Parts of the body?🤔
This technology has been around for printing thick scaffolds for tissue engineering. We can extrude collagen into a gel that will crosslink the proteins to create a shape for stem cells to grow into. We can even print it with vascular strucutres to give structure and direction to fluid and blood.
Was wondering if that was how they make those, cool!
So we don't even have AGI yet and we're already on the way to making a synthetic replica of a human body?
@@Imehielhuh? We already have AGI but not in the way you think
@mrpumperknuckles1631 explain?

“TRADITIONAL “ 3D Printing’ is Phrase I didn’t know I was Going to hear THIS SOON
True lmao
3d printing has been around since 1980s fyi
traditional 3d printing has been around for a while.. resin printing isn’t exactly new and neither is metal
People already said it when resin printers became less popular because of fdm
*Wave cane* Kids these days with their gel printers can't beat the good and old traditional 3D prints!
The company I worked for had a liquid 3D printer decades ago. The fluid would be hardened at the point where 2 laser beams intersected, and that point could be moved wherever needed to make the desired shape. It was perfect for making models that had the internal components as well as the outer shell, but you had to make sure to leave a drain path for the unused volume that remained liquid inside that shell.

Seeing the introduction and evolution of 3D Printing in my lifetime has been really interesting.
How old are you 40?
@@ThugDollXO How old do you think 3D printing is? It was in the 2010's that they started being commercially viable for normal consumers and hobbyists. Before then, it was something you might find on some factories. Also I'm not forty yet.
I fell down a flight of stairs while watching this

It's not the future, it's another technology with it's advantages and disadvantages. Resolution isn't as near as precise as resin printing.. the materials and tolerances aren't as stable as filament.. it's for things that don't require that. For organic shapes. If you try mechanical hard surface parts there such as gears and boxes nothing will be ok
Yep. And I can't imagine having to manage all that resin everytime, clean it off refill, no air bubbles etc. hollow pieces filled with resin, heavy printer and so on.
I don't see this being used more than current ones but can still have its place.
Pros and cons.
I could see this being very useful in the medical/prosthetics industry, more so than any other. printable skins and biologically safe meshes for in-body use
The first print is also a 7+ year old video
You know this how?
3d printing is experimental
Bad dragon bouta have a warehouse full of these working overtime
Not sure which is worse: me knowing what Bad Dragon is, or the fact that you’re probably right.
injection molding is arguably faster and cheaper
Clearly you know nothing about manufacturing
@@jr-hs1gvto agree im pretty sure these in-gel printers are slow like traditional filament printers and unfit for mass production + you don't have to worry about removing gel or refilling gel into the tanks with injection molding. Your only issue with injection molding would be deformation right after the products drop from the machine but even then it can be fixed if you configure or handle it right.
@@jr-hs1gv he's not entirely wrong though. Not suitable for mass production but instead quickly prototyping dozens of designs simultaneously
Did this for my internship over the summer it’s some cool stuff!
Based yuuki pfp
YES! Finally, I’ve wanted a type of 3D printing that’s messier than my resin printing!
I love this timeline.
Yeah, well, this one seems a lot better, because the gel is non-toxic (or so I hear).
I wouldn't mind it if you could just wash it off in the sink. That would be pretty cool.
I just looked it up and it seems this tech is 7 years old
the poor guy who made that "gel" is probably hospitalized
Idk if this is a joke but if you mean semen it’s real funny😂
“The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought ’em anyway. Ground ’em up, mixed em into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill.”

I know nothing about 3D printing but this gives a lot of “game changing” vibes
On earth that would be kinda iffy at best filament printers work more or less on autopilote now so getting started is really damn simple and easy, but liquid printing has been around for a while as well though its done with resins to capture details, but that really wouldnt work in space either since resin needs to lay in a vat where the build plate slowly lowers in and uv light cures it underneath.
point being for space this is a game changer, but somewhere with gravity not so much
@@ItsAweeboh it's absolutely not. Gel would fly everywhere, also it would be an enclosed space so it would be easier to get mold inside, seeing how it's water based. It doesn't have any advantages, only thing that may be seen as an advantage is that it doesn't waste additional building material, but it can't print in a lot of them so fuck that
Wouldn’t any object without holes just be full of gel??? 😭😭😭
Yes, the same problem with SLA and powder printing, the main reason FDM is still used industrially because some parts can’t really be made another way
Especially if the object is hollow
It's a good point but you always can make a small holes in it and empty it , than print a small cap and cover it ٫ i think using Something like a Irons will help prevent water
@ for solid wall hollow parts yes, but for sparse infill that’s not an option, one of the huge advantages of 3d printing is the ability to create almost any internal geometry, that is completely eliminated by this.
@@eliasbinde2629 ok what is the purpose of sparse infill , i know nothing about 3d printer i thought they make it looks like that to solve 3d printer problem
Silicone?....

Hell yeah. Keep that kind of new tech coming.
Apologies for my bad English, just wanted to show my appreciation towards this marvelous technology. I'm looking forward to a more widespread adoption, as it would revolutionize the tridimensional printing industry. Truly fascinating.
1. This prints one layer at a time 2. Normal 3d printers can print plastic and tpu (flexible plastic) and much more 3. Normal 3d printers can print flexible designs
Its not even that good
Its same as 3d printing drawing lines
While resin printing is really printing one layer at the time unlike 3d and gel printing
@@navoJJust so you know, resin printing is still 3d printing, and the specific term for printing where you melt filament and deposit it from a nozzle is Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) or Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). FDM is trademarked by Stratasys, while nobody owns the trademark to FFF
@@navoJ 3d printing and gel printing also print in layers
@@thecodeking91 THANK YOU
@@BananaTwin_1000 idk what term it is
But resin printer creates layer at the time
so if it takes 1 sec / layer and you have 100 layers it would take 100 seconds for whole print
But 3d and gel have like line drawing
They take layer and draw every layer line by line
So if a layer have 300mm of surface per layer and it takes 1 second / 10 mm it will take 30 seconds per layer / 3000 seconds for whole print
3d and gel are printing bits of layer
while resin prints whole layer at the time
Isn't this where the VERY FIRST concept of 3d printing was born?
New Innovative Inventions every other day, what a time to be alive
The way the gravity part works is because the density of the gel is the same as the density of what is being printed. This caused it to neither sink or float.
Now this feels like something futuristic, amazing.
This is legit the stuff humans come out of after they've been revived or reborn in alien movies. Are they 3d printing humans?
I was thinking the same thing . A lot of sci fi movies had this concept . How about for humans for deep space travel they hibernate in something very similar.
they reused FRESH principle from bioprinting for normal 3d printing
It would be a great use of this kind of this technology if it gets more advanced, just think, instead of waiting for a donor for a kidney or a heart you could just print one.
its already available just search up in Google cellink bio x or lulzbot bio
they might... I think it's totally possible if we exclude human conciousness
"doesn't require supports"
Meanwhile:
*Completely surrounded in supportive material*
Sounds like supports to me
By that logic air too is a support
3d printing supports are printed with the object to help it stand but since the support exists within the printer it makes it so that you don’t have to break off a bunch of stuff like you would with a normal 3d printer
That’s not what supports mean when it comes to 3D printing. The guy above me says it best
Supports are waste material in nearly all cases. Stop splitting hairs and enjoy another bit of into for your vault...
@@IcchiNutz Air is a support if printing material lighter than air.
Finally! Big, gooey, flexible warhammer proxies!

Bot comment
Its not meant to replace the other options but adds another way of 3d printing when the other 2 just doesnt work. Its all about the right applications
Great! Im just getting into 3d printing and now there is another one I going to need to feed my addiction!
Yay! More complex designs. We don’t need to keep it simple anymore. 🙌
This is really impressive. The gel means that you can print structures that would otherwise require the use of wasted material to create temporary support structures that would end up getting thrown away or dissolved in an enzyme bath, creating excessive waste. Meanwhile, silicone is so molecularly stable that it takes thousands of years to deteriorate and can be reused indefinitely without generating any waste. I really like this idea.
I like how printing flexible things in this is treated like a new thing when TPU has existed for years (if you don't know, TPU is a filament that is more flexible than PLA which allows for more flexible and squishy prints)
P.S. that 3d printed chair looks awful to sit on
No, the gel is the new thing. Watch the video
@@johannsson8559 Saying it advertises flexible prints as a new thing is not equivalent to saying the only thing it advertises as new is flexible prints
I mean knowing the market its probably... A leg and half your life savings either way.
@SarahTheAmbiguous it's not advertising the flexible prints it's advertising the gel it's printing in. again pay attention to the video
@@johannsson8559 Do not worry, I am not braindead, I know the video's main purpose is advertising the gel. What I was referring to is actually a singular line where the narrator said "[...] and even flexible prints."
It's a moot point indeed, but the "even" part seems to suggest the narrator is claiming that flexible prints are new. Either way the gel isn't a new technology either so I don't really care what you have to say at this point
THIS STILL PRINTS ONE LAYER AT A TIME😭
the difference is, it won't have to print extra stuffs to keep the item balanced
@chachamaru51 yes, but that is not what my comment is about
they said that it "doesn't print one layer at a time" even though it still does
@@wombatwoman oh, okay, i didn't noticed
@@chachamaru51 it's alright man
i love finding out about new and exciting tech then to never hear about it ever again.
Thank God we found a new way of making handbags. I was beginning to get really concerned about the future of handbag manufacturing.
Its gonna be filled with gel though 😭😭🥺
So? You could just pop a little hole then use some heat to seal it back up, or don’t even do that it would add some extra weight which would probably be needed
Bro got extra work to do😅
The 3d printed torture chair
Makes perfect sense! One of those things I don't know why I didn't think of it first.
This is a great evolution to 3d printing!!
Silicone, eh 😏…
NAUR
Soft and malleable material? 😏
If the print is resistant enough this could be a godsent for restoring old cars where original rubber parts can't be found anymore.
I've got lots of water based gel in the top drawer of my dresser that I was looking for a second use for. Thanks for sharing.
Finally I can print out a 3D Roxanne for my needs
This could be super useful for chemistry, printing superscaled models of various chemicals, chirality, and bonds. Would be good for isotopes, and figuring them out, too. Or hypothetical, fictional materials.
The 3D printing equivalent of the primordial ooze😂
I bet making action figures with this would be insane
Can’t wait to see how they improve traditional 3D metal printers.
Great i have adb manufacturing end term tomorrow, this better be on the test
can't wait for car & house printing in the next decades!
RLP. Thanks. I will remember this. Never heard of this before.
I can't wait until they make an actual printer like this for commercial use because then I'll purchase it immediately
In 30 years or so, schools will teach children what kind of ancient and slow 3D printers used to exist back then
the main benefit this offers is the ability to print things inside each other.
This is used for soft structures such as replacement organs and most anything else that needs flexibility. It is also not quite as fast as you make it seem. There is also another version of this called SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) for more rigid, mainly metallic, structures.
Couldnt even experience the present of 3D printing and boom here comes the future
And less plastic waste for scaffolding, this is so cool
The cosplays made with that stuff are gonna be insane
Another thing not mentioned but works is if you breathe in prior when you go to put it in your mouth you breathe out and the co2 helps with the instant ousting of the flame
It’s only a matter of time until we have 3D Printed organs and I’m kinda excited
side note, there’s already been flexible 3d prints, but i do like this too! maybe it’s able to print in space (the supports could get into delicate spaceship stuff i think)
I havent even reached to 3d printing and now there is future of it..
finally we can make hand bags and furniture
Handbags (like that one) and "furnitures" were already pretty easy on traditional 3D printing... The only benefit it's that it doesn't need supports thanks to the gel and even that comes with it's own challenges
Unlike most 3d printers that only print one layer at a time… skips the idea and explains how it still prints in one layer just with a different material 😭
3D printing organs will be the future for this idea
It's A FUTURE of 3D printing.
Unlike 3D printers that print one layer at a time this one also prints one layer at a time
Great! Synthetic handbags, just what the environment needed!
The moment I 3D print something and it comes out like it was just birthed is the moment I end it
next generation.. so amazing.. it's been done for decades! It's nice more have access to is now!
RLP, future of 3d printing since 2010.

why is nobody talking about that diabolical design for the chair
I’m glad they’re figuring out easier ways to spread plastic debris across the lands
Can you reuse ♻️ the gel?
3d printing into gel is some mass effect future tech lol
it reminds me of that resin printing where they use lasers to harden resin in a vat to create structures
How are you going to get the gel out???
okay flexible 3d prints were already possible but damn this is interesting
a sci-fi 3d printed human came to mind as soon as I saw them handling the finished product in gel :D and then I looked up what the tech was actually made for...
This 3D printer reminds me a lot of _Darkman_ , particularly the scene where Westlake printed a synthetic skin glove for his right hand.
With a small pile of kitchen tongs you can make a set of real tongs. The craftable wooden tongs can also get you there.
