Metal 3D Printing Timelapse | The Markforged Metal X Process

- Follow this actuator housing through the metal 3D printing process - design, slice, print, wash, sinter. 3D printed 17-4PH stainless steel on the Markforged Metal X.
Based on our 4th generation composite 3D printing technology, the Metal X is a brand new kind of metal 3D printer. By printing metal powder bound in a plastic matrix, we've eliminated the safety risks associated with traditional metal 3D printing while enabling new features like closed-cell infill for reduced part weight and cost.
The Markforged Metal X is capable of 3D printing in stainless steel, tool steel, Inconel 625, titanium (beta), and others.

100k to fix your pedal :)
Where was the time lapse?
I imagine I would have to sell my house for just a down payment on this setup.
The Metal X System starts at $160,000.
@@markforged ok, thats WAY too expensive, around 5 times too expensive to make sense for the most shops
@@pteppig too expensive for your dumb shop however it is a quarter of the competition who have been selling and making money for their customers for years.......
Can it print Titanium Bicycle Lugs (as do Renishaw)? From a components design by computer to finished product, do you offer training? Thank You.
Can I ask what is the minimum thickness of a wall which can be printed with this method?
about the diameter of that oven?
As feedback no one else answered you because your question is not phrased correctly. You are hard to understand.
@@AlienSexGod You don't understand the question. It's a perfectly reasonable question. One might ask if it's a supported or unsupported wall, but most of us would like answers for both.
@@AlienSexGod As an engineer with a history of welding, fabrication, product development & final launch in both the automotive and aerospace industry this is an incredibly valuable question Adrienn has asked.
"What is the minimal wall thickness that can be printed with this method?"
Depending on their answer it could have great impact on safety, quality, cost, delivery and environment. All of which are pillars of a successful manufacturing process!
Would this be the Max Sinter Volume? Looks like each one of the products has it's own Data Sheet. Sample: s3.amazonaws.com/mf.product.doc.images/Datasheets/F-SR-0002.pdf
Also, the team is really good at responding back to queries via the website. Have you reached out to them directly?
looks pretty fucking weak for metal
Show for me to buy a 3-D printer how much would it cost me
100.000 dollars
This is no timelapse
is that racka racka?!?!
How long does it take to get that part from design to manufacturing and get it in use place?
Between all of the steps - printing, washing, drying, and sintering - it will take 3-4 days per part.
The actuator housing showing in the video takes a little less than 4 days, however, multiple parts can be printed, washed and sintered at the same time. If you print them and process them in batches, only the print time would increase.
@@markforged well maybe YOU can print multiple parts at the same time since you have multiple machines at your disposal where as most SMBs would be lucky to have one. Surely only one item can be printed at a time!
@@AlienSexGod You really have no idea what you're talking about in multiple comments. Nearly any additive machine (metal or polymer) can print multiple parts on the same build platform at the same time. In fact, I think only the DED process cannot, which this obviously isn't.
@@AlienSexGod You can print different parts in the same machine as long as it fits. Stop making people confuse... don't teach others if you don't even know what you are talking about.
Pretty sure this is just a concept video.
Hi Cori, this is not a concept video :) The Metal X system is currently shipping internationally, and you can learn more on our website: markforged.com/metal-x/?mfa=social
You have to have a factory to own this. Not for DIYers
Not a factory, just small workshop with enough space for the printer and the "wash" - and the temp controleable furnace, which is much smaller and needs less power than one for actually melting metal. Its saves a LOT of time for not having to cast molds and melit metals (which both can take hours).
I dont see a problem of having these machines in a maker space or machine shop, same as a CO2 laser table or a CNC router.
The only problem is the PRICE, which with $125.000 is EXTERRMLE over INFLATED, considering the hardware which is used, it should be more in the 10-20k range to be even remotely useable outside of large corporations
Yes, it is very expensive.
@@pteppig idiot no new tech is price at the cost to manufacture ... the price always included R&D costs as well as manufacturing, sales costs plus profit!
@@pteppig $125! That’s fucking crazy
Can you do watch parts?
No, the parts would be too small for the sintering. They have a metal design guide that will help you better understand what will work and what will not. This is perfect for low volume runs or one-offs. Size does matter.
So tired of EVERY SINGLE 3D-printing company's video just being a dog and pony show video. Tell me some actual valid information along the way...How is this better than machining a concept part? What kind of materials can it print? What type of ventilation do I need for any post-processing? How much space do I need? How long does it actually take? I have yet to see one video that's actually practical and contains useful information for a potential buyer.
The MetalX stands out in printing complex metal geometry in a relative cost effective way, tradition machine shop work like a CNC lathe or bending and welding sheet metal are not feasible for a metal 3-D printer.
Materials include: D2 Tooling Steel, A2 Tooling Steel, H13 Tooling Steel, Inconel 625, Copper, 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
No ventilation needed it uses a water base solvent for the wash, in terms of the furnace it comes with its chimney style vents for the heat exhaust
Width 575 mm
Depth 467 mm
Height 1120 mm
The print time depends on the complexity of the part but it can take anywhere from 2.5 days- up to 10, it really depends on the size of the print
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
