    Honestly as a non machinist this sort of thing is like science fiction to me. Just incredible
  • @samsabruskongen
    This has been the future of manufacturing for 20 years ever since I wrote my thesis on it. The problem is that it is only really useful for bespoke, customer-individualized products. It doesn't scale like casting, extruding etc does.
  • @dovemfg
    Remember when that guy thought he was building his own transformers but it was really the severed head of Megatron….
  • @freds4703
    I sure hope you have an action plan in case there’s an accident that releases a lot of the powder. I worked with many hazardous materials as a chemist and would recommend that all operations with the powders be done in an area with substantial airflow away from the equipment and operators then passing thru an appropriate HEPA filter.
  • @Hydrazine1000
    Please also show the further processing! Removing supports, fixturing it, machining of the connecting points, etc. These as-printed parts still need some love and care before they can be put to use (or, if these are test prints/prototypes, at least that they could be put to use. Oh, and thanks for showing the internal teardrop cross section. Makes perfect sense to apply this trick, but I wasn't aware of it until now.
  • @meisenhut31
    So now do you need to face or thread the ports so you can connect things to them? What application are these going into?
  • @travisjarrett2355
    I love watching the design modifications that are coming out these days. Coupled with the additive it is going to change the way we build things well into the future. Cool video bro!
  • @seancollins9745
    316L is often used in high temp environments where carbon creeping in the metal is common and can cause crevice corrosion and cracking. It's why I use ultra thin stainless 316L for high performance turbo headers.
  • @robohippy
    THE FUTURE!!!!! My dad was explaining this to me. Also about how they were making the blades on some jet turbine blades which needed to be composites. Easier to do with the 3D print method.
  • @peterbeerman4982
    Do a video about problems that sometimes happen in LPBF (parts brakeoff, recoater collision etc.)!
  • @jessejohnson159
    As a guy that went into vehicle and equipment maintenance in 1968, and watching shows like Star Trek, seeing the way parts, etc, can be fabricated for any need when needed and NOT needing an inventory to pull from, I'm 100% sure with the raw materials, the 3D printers for off world parts will be HUGE! 😁😁🥰
  • @markdavis304
    Super solid video Trevor! Great job explaining somewhat complex things in an easy way to understand!👏👏
  • @ProjectShopFl
    This is incredible! Great job guys you have the coolest toys. 👊
  • @Deljron777
    Surely this is the most efficient way which is why you do it. Engineering with AI and 3D printing wow
  • @aleksandrSMS
    Обалденная технология,3D печать металлов это что то сверхъестественное.
  • @jesvans
    i would like to see how they make that powder
  • @kdenyer1
    My son was working on these machines 😊
  • @donniehinske
    Awesome video Trevor! It’s super cool to watch that thing print when I walk by it AND it’s even cooler to see how this thing actually works!! All around awesomeness
