@@ActionBOXSecret business advantage of both living near an airport! 😂 Your product looks cool. You could also use a silver paste, but I can see why you went with copper. Very nice.
BASF already has a similar product that’s pretty crazy imo, which gives you stainless steel parts, but it costs like $120/kg. Plus the metal means 1kg is way less length/total volume than regular thermoplastic filaments. The nice part though is that price comes with post processing (sintering?) for the full spool (if you send a full spool worth of parts, it’s one job ticket up to 1kg), so it isn’t quite as expensive as it sounds. Matterhackers sells that filament on their site, and ironically shared a building with Liquid Metal, who does a similar thing as MASTE with injection molding. There’s no relation or business stuff between LM and MH/BASF though as far as I’m aware. But I totally agree, it’d be great to have MASTE in a printer and have the ability to print at home or small scale shop environments! It’s long overdue and i think it’ll blow up if the process can be refined enough!
Honestly all I get from this advertisement of a video is that they haven't actually created a metal part, it's sintered and theyve undoubtedly made all their little walled garden products you have to buy undoubtedly incredibly expensive and then you have to buy their heated extruder for what is undoubtedly another large amount. At this point, especially for parts this small, it makes more sense to do small lost wax casting, which is not all that difficult to setup especially when you consider 6ou can use a microwave to do melts. I do wonder how much he got paid to do this advertisement though
Since yall are both here 😅 Can you inject Maste into the sintered part, then make metal coins instead of plastic? Doesn't seem like there would be any fusion?
If you need HSI to make the metal 3D printer happen, absolutely collaborate. Otherwise, I think you guys can do it on your own. You do some awesome work. Can’t wait to see that!
@@ActionBOX Achieving a properly working metal 3D printer takes way more than just a great engineer and a few years. It's much further from trivial than most realize and at least one or two orders of magnitude harder and more complex compared to designing and manufacturing something simple like a proper and competitive VMC for example.
Metal 3d printer would be awesome! Honestly, the sintering and burnout process needs to be made into a easy user experience more than the part creation side (in my mind).
Probably because the more info you get, the more you realiser it's for making metallic looking parts, rather than actual metal with the properties of copper
For the hobbyist on a budget, is it feasible to use an Injekto M both to make injection moulds, and also to inject the plastic into them? Or is Injekto M unsuitable for plastic? If mixed use of a single machine for both plastic and maste is a bad idea, is there anything stopping one from just melting and pouring maste using a pot on a stovetop, and reserving the Injekto for plastic use? In this video it looked like the Injekto M was unnecessary for making the metal mould as it was just poured rather than injected.
I would absolutely love to play with a set up like that 🤗 imagine a mounting the machine on a bench with air or hydraulic cylinders on rails for automation 😎 outstanding
@ActionBox Two, ok three Questions. Could you use a cover over the top of the sintering powder to reduce how much is ashed/consumed with each sinter? Possibly a vacuum pump to remove oxygen? The molds are created using the copper maste, but the final parts are injection molded plastic? Could you make the mold two sided and fill from the top to directly create copper or other metal parts? What would the benefits of this process be over lost plastic sand casting using fdm? Increased mold life?
But if they don’t sell it one day then rich people can’t become richer and the company wouldn’t ever get miss managed and lose its vision. Wouldn’t want that.
How warm does the Maste get when extruding? In the video James mention it gets to 100F which isn't very hot. Could you extrude Maste directly into a 3D printed part to mold it? That would skip the step of making a silicone mold.
Yes it works very well, you put the part in the heated mold (right after injection) in the vacuum chamber, close it and pull vacuum for about a second and that’s enough. Just let the pressure back in immediately and let it cool for a minute. It makes the parts much better looking.
I am working on making an open source plastic extrusion machine, and i had the idea of extruding MASTE with it, will it ever be available in Argentina? I'm only 14 so i can't afford or justify shipping for something so small
@@ActionBOX I think so, it's an extrusion screw type machine, so it can't extrude very fast but it can (in theory) create a lot of pressure to fill molds
if only someone invented a device that covered your nose and mouth and prevented particles from being breathed in...oh well...just an idea for an enterprising young person to invent and bring to market.
I would love to see a 3D printer for metal that's affordable for the hobbyist/DIY'er. I like to restore antique power tools, and something like that would be perfect for recreating parts which were originally made from cast iron, but are now unobtanium.
Gold Maste? From scrap electronics. Actually wouldn't be difficult. Sodium chloride brine electrolysis is an interesting process. Produces extremely fine particles.
Now I'm wondering about dusting the inside of the injection molding part with carbon/aluminum/copper/etc dust to both improve the demolding process but also provide a surface to either electroplate or polish.
Hi Bill, The metal comes out as pure copper. We have new materials coming out soon as well. To separate the used FUSION MIX from the black you can just use a spoon.
@@ActionBOX - Curious what kind of new materials. Aluminum would be 🤩 as it's light and strong and cheaper for robo frame parts but I realize it's reactivity is a problem. Nickel is way stronger than copper has a similar melting point and nonreactivity but is quite expensive and bad for skin. Iron has high melting point and rusts unless heavily alloyed with expensive metals. Magnesium likely waay too reactive. Titanium adds a too high melting point to high reactivity.
@@NigelTolley - Silver is a nice and easy option. But more for very small parts and jewelry than robot parts (which would fall more in my personal range of interest).

oooo woow I was waiting voor this video!!!!! this is so cool
Metal 3d printer would be awesome! Honestly, the sintering and burnout process needs to be made into a easy user experience more than the part creation side (in my mind).
I’m not sure if you noticed but our system is a 1 step process unlike other processes that have a debinding step as well.
Is there any shrinkage at all? Can mechanical parts be made to spec or is it really just for cosmetic parts?
Yeah the maste was by far the most interesting part of this and they didn't give ANY information on it
Probably because the more info you get, the more you realiser it's for making metallic looking parts, rather than actual metal with the properties of copper
you guys are the best cant wait to buy soon!!!! loving the maste too! cheers and all the best and amazing engineering!
How to get precise sizes for sintered final products? Does it require further machining such as casting?
It shrinks about 6% so just make your molds 6% larger. Cheers.
OMG this is so cool. I’d pull the trigger right now but my wife will be pissed as I already have a burnout oven. Love it. Keep up the awesome work.
We sell the kit without the furnace. Just reach out to us.

How big i the shrinkage in the sintering process?
We can see that the final coin is slightly smaller than the original positive used.
Good eye, the shrinkage is around 6%
You can get more of these details on our website actionbox.ca
6%.

Now that you've done a big time UA-cam celeb collaboration, you just have to wait and let the subs roll on in!
Amazing!
How much shrinkage do you get with maste?
Thank you! You can find all the specs on our website: actionbox.ca/products/maste
Is it copper or kind of steel ?
Definitely should do desktop 3d metal printer together

Now the new lightsaber from maste
What % shrinkage do you get when sintering the part? Copper? Aluminum? Zinc? Steel? Great process.
I read somewhere that the copper has a 6% shrinkage.
Congratulation guys i think you really did it with this one! Can you make copper electrodes for a edm sinker? This would be a total gamechanger.
Wow, yeah, that could be something. EDM sink a finished copper part with high detail into any metal!
would it be good to use a vacuum with maste like epoxy to reduce air voids?
Yes it works very well, you put the part in the heated mold (right after injection) in the vacuum chamber, close it and pull vacuum for about a second and that’s enough. Just let the pressure back in immediately and let it cool for a minute. It makes the parts much better looking.
Yes collaboration
Great colab.
you should tell them to brand new metals with their periodic table of elements symbols, so CuMaste, FeMaste, etc LUL
Ooo that’s a really good idea.
Can sintered Maste handle being used for injecting pewter and other lower temperature metals?
Yes it can. The melting point of pewter is much lower and will not be a problem for the sintered MASTE product.
Hell yea do it!!!
thanks for sharing, it is so cool
Colab and get the desktop metal 3D printer going!
is aluminum or silver possible?
What is the dimension lose after firing like?
What's the advantage than just heating up the copper and just using regular molds?
What a great time to be alive in the great age of the Makerscene era!
