3D Printer that Prints Carbon Fiber
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 січ 2015
- One of the things that keeps 3D prints from being useful in everyday applications is the structural instability of the plastic print material--it either bends or snaps under load. MarkForged makes a 3D printer that does something new: it can reinforce printed parts with carbon fiber or fiberglass for rigidity and strength. We chat with MarkForged's CEO about how this print process works test some of its prints.

This guy is a credible engineer, for sure. This is great.
It's a joy watching a dude know his stuff, both of them.
Esa Edvik He definitely knows his stuff, and what I love to see is he is actually passionate about it; did you notice how much he said 'dude' lol
Michael Espey this is actually the most enjoyable video yet. He's always in "Dude..c'mon, who are we kidding here" mode.
+Michael Powell
for sure an engineer and not a machinist. 4 days to make that out of aluminum lol.
he probably hit auto dimension and the machinist was like wtf .0001" all dimensions.
Fairly positive he was talking about the time to receive the part if ordered when he said "4 days", and was not talking about manufacturing times at all. Listening is an important skill.
@ 3:08 Will asks " oh, so you don't have to lay the fibre in your CAD file ?" And Greg responds "Dude, why would me make you do that ?"
I like Greg !
Minus for the proprietary software, but a huge plus for doing it right, it seems.
I think the software has to be proprietary as this is the only system that uses it.
Probably so. Maybe some open-source ones could've been modified to support these methods.
Variable axis strength is interesting,.. opens up the possibility of printing fastenings that are strong in the preferred direction, but that can be sheared in another, so great for holding emergency exits in place, etc.
I love the discussion. Its nice to get this kind of coverage during CES... a nice change of pace from the quick 2-5 min. overviews.
This is awesome!! and the guy actually answers the questions AND knows his shit!!
I like how proud he is about his fiancé. It's nice of him and this 3D printer is awesome too.
Quite ingenious. This is very nice for composite construction since you'll have much much control on how the matrices are oriented (or at least how they are laid) and thus increases tensile strength at specific direction while at the same time reduce consumption of materials and thus lower cost.
This is one of the coolest videos Ive come across in a long time. How inspiring!
Just wanted to say respect for a great interview as well. Really thoughtful, articulate questions that helped me understand the product. Thank you.
I like this guy a lot, he seems like someone who actually knows his stuff and I respect his attitude a lot
Fantastic interview. You were asking some very detailed question that others simply do not ask because they don't know as much about 3d printers. I can only hope one day these become practical for household use.
Multiple head extrusion 3D printing that makes prints stronger than ABS/PLA in bending and tension stress without sacrificing plastic strength when separating layers. This stuff is cool.
Fantastic to see someone who is interested and someone who is interesting.
Well done Greg. Comprehensive answers without the hard sell. All to a tyre kicker.
This video is AMAZING! I'm learning, I'm excited. Great Job Tested and MarkForged.
Completely blown away by that technology!
This stuff is so incredibly cool. If I was there, I would not be able to contain my excitement, would be running my mouth to the camera non-stop just trying to express how cool it is to be around that stuff, and able to work with it.
Very interesting Technology. I liked the way they went into technical details of the structural engineering and material science.
Great interview Will. The Verge had an interview with the same guy, but I learned so much more from yours.
Such a likable person this man was! Really informative and knew what he was talking about.
Love people that ask good questions! I want this printer!
Dear everyone ever, this is how the person selling your products should act. This man was approachable, polite, honest, informed, and interesting. I don't know of anything else he could have done to make his product more desirable and to help find its audience and primary buyers. I am honestly impressed.
Great product, great interview.
The Red flash on screen around 5:55 is a bit worrying
Didn't see it the first time, great catch !
Subliminal messaging, much?
The sales potential on this is unbelievable!
He actually knew what he was talking about, both those guys were brilliant..
Great interview.
This is fascinating! so many innovations all in one place
Impressive stuff Greg!
What a wonderfully helpful guy. Great video.
Man.. this makes 3D printers way more feasible for strong affordable parts.. I love it.
I love you guys! Thank you!
this guy really knows his stuff, love it! and might be something I'll invest in at a later point.
This is pretty incredible, kind of mind blowing when you think about how useful this could be.
If you lay the fiber down in loops like terrycloth (with exposed tops) you'd interlock the layers when the next layer is printed. Or if you had a print head with multiple axis you could print objects where the layers were radial and had strength in more directions.
Glass 3D printers lay it down kind of like a weave. Excellent idea.
this is sooo much better than Make's interview
straight up awesome
Thanks for sharing, great interview.
Thanks for the great video. It was very informative.
Wow I am super excited for this tech
Greg Mark should get his own show on tested! That was an awesome demo!
Very, very interesting, you sound like one cracking engineer, well done and good luck to your company.
Adding a small pick and place robot for adding captive nuts and other parts would be a great way to streamline the process.
This guy was awesome explaining everything. Can you hire him for Tested?
LOVE IT ! GOOD GOD I NEED IT FOR WORK.
This is sweet! Fiber embedding makes the usefulness of this printer go up by orders of magnitude. And it's priced on the high end of a consumer grade machine, which is amazing. I really like where this is going.
I would liked to have actually seen it up close and in action...maybe even the inside parts where the wire is fed thru and what kind of maintenance it needs. Thx.
This is what the industry has been looking for. A way to 3d print a carbon fiber part without using chopped fiber. delamination is an issue but you get fibers in the alignment you want.
this guy knows the stuff about markforged from the back of his head, impressive
Would be amazing to have a friend like him.
The guy is convinced his fiancée is a genius.
Well, it IS a pretty good analogy.
he is just proud that he has a fiancée^^
He just got laid.. Look how happy he is ;D
He should be and not just because of that but because he admits that she helped a great deal in making this.
Chris Lee because she made a comparison?
More video about materials from 3d printer please
What a great interview! What a great guy! Awesome product.
Greg even finished Wills sentences. Will was like: "...so how are you handling the ehh-(Greg)"dude gara light and glue".
this is similar to printing with a dual header extruder with the carbon fiber as the infill. the only difference is their software lays the carbon fiber as a shell in the direction of the shape outline rather than the typical infill pattern.
i'm really impressed by this new 3d printer, i hope in the future will came down in price so also i can afford it. i also really like how the guy explain how the pronts works, i reallli like thoose nerdy details.
That is an incredible salesman. He really has not said very much. The casual pressure of is his pitch is quite incredible.
That is a GREAT printer!
This is neat. I remember seeing a printer that 'created lightweight pure carbon fiber prints'... it was carbon fiber strands encased in resin... Looks like this is much better. Be interesting if someone reverse engineers it for open source.
Markforged are the best!
amazing machine.
What an awesome guy!
aw yis, talk nerdy.... loving it
Continuing the wood Idea, if you alternate the directions of the fibres layer by layer it will be like plywood which is strong in all directions
Wow, that's actually useful!
love the machine and would totally get one someday but not at that material cost...
I needs this to make vintage rc gears & Part's they don't make anymore...
This is an amazing approach, *and I am glad they don't do anything with the light and oxygen*
Not something I would use day to day, but damn this is awesome.
think of 2 print heads that weave the carbon as it goes like normal carbon sheet. get some amazing strength if planned right!
composite parts de-laminate and/or crack when subjected to constant vibration or shaking. In an airplane use metal for all structural components that bear stress.
better tell Boeing and
Airbus that .......
So this guy is the supplier to all of the government anti-Magneto tools from the Xmen movies
Very cool
this is so cool
Amazing.
Does the carbon fiber strand come pre-wetted by the nylon, or is a quick melt supposed to get all the air out from between the fibers?
Very promising technology, it would be very cool to print a carbon fiber case for my plastic LG. And maybe someday cheap carbon fiber parts for my car?
what's the maximum temperature that it can handle before the 3d printed part (or the adhesive) starts to melt.
Yea i saw how excited you are.. .
Brilliant
Thanks
What comes to mind for print are bicycle frames with internal lattice structures that takes advantage of all the strengths of the different materials. Or lightweight car frames with more effective crumple zones? What about bike helmets designs that offers better shock protection? Also you can apply this to all kinds of frames. Lots of application. Amazing product. And yes, sigh, I am a geek and this product is like an engineer's wet dream.
Huh. Could be a potential game changer.
can you pass the fiber through layers without cutting then resuming later. if so, that method might be useful in other areas of 3d printing, like printing electronics, instead of printing extruded conductive material for circuits you can just print a wire.
The fibre head would need to be on a separate mounting, they are both on the same mount so both travel together with this device.
First time I have ever seen 3D printing that is good for tools.
This actually seems viable enough to be on a space station, although would the 0-G require any changes in calibration?
Want now. This is awesome.
This is pretty impressive. I would love to make cosplay armor/props using carbon fiber to reinforce it. :D
this is the kind of thing you use on space stations. like holy shit this is legit the future of printing shit in space.
New, better pole vaulting poles!
i guess the wrench would be even stronger if the fibres would be laid down
in the form of an 8 (crossing right before the hole).
"she came up with this", I fail to believe that they didn't have composite engineer who hadn't heard this analogy before. It is pretty much the first slide on any composite materials course.
nice work. onya Will
i really want to get into this i just have a hard time modeling
why does the rf go through the fiberglass but not so good through the carbon fiber ?
Ok I know nylon is stronger then pla but how does this compare to carbon reinforced pla?
does the 3d printer involve support material or does it just print flat objects??
that is so cool
My faith in 3D printing has been found.
amazing
Imbedded kevlar and other propriety string materials must be around the corner.
7:18
whats the glue Greg uses to hold down his prints on the bed?
wouldn't the parts be even stronger if they alternated the direction of the fibres? Kind of like a piece of plywood with fibre
they can lay the fibres in any direction they want on the same layer
sorry I don't understand what you mean. What I meant is have one layer of fibre going in one direction and then a few layers up have fibres going 90 degrees to the first direction
GentlegiantJGC they can lay the fibres like you writing on a piece of paper. they are not limited to laying it in one direction, the different strengths they were quoting was based on compression/tensile and layer adhesion(due to the 3d printing method).
ok it just looked like all the examples they had had the fibres going along the length of the piece for every layer
the strength test unit they had it going around in ovals like Russian nesting dolls, due to its length it looks like they all go one way but its closer to a squashed spiral.
