Its amazing.....peope dont actually seem to understand the amount of effort it takes to make a system to work for general audience outside of an industrial setting.......thise things give rise to innovations and give more power to smal scale buissnesses
Uhh, yeah. Sintering has been around for at least 50 years. This is nothing new. They're looking to make $$$ off selling their products. I cannot blame them for going into business for themselves though. That's capitalism in action.
This is simply sintering and your implementation of this is brilliant! As a tech in the field of metal injection molders I’m impressed with the simplicity of what you have achieved, and I love that this is a far lower temperature process than other options out there, while still flowing like a liquid. I might have to buy and give this a try!
@@ActionBOX I left a comment about this on his latest short, hopefully he reaches out. He does a ton of rocket nozzle experiments so this would be awesome for him as it's a few days for him to get his designs sent to him after printing.
@@peteabc1 This would allow him to keep it all "in-house" instead of relying on out sourcing as he currently does not have the setup for metal parts. Resin mixes, yes, metal (sintering or otherwise), not so much.
So really, the maste is the innovation here, and what should be getting more attention, rather than merely having a metal injection printer that can use it.
Yes indeed! We are currently working on that. We have successfully made silver parts and are currently working on iron/steel. A future video will also demonstrate our testing with Titanium.
Love you guys, and this new product is super cool, but fyi, to help in your youtube success, work on the audio my dudes, your video production is great, but the audio... you'll see a huge improvement in your view count with a relatively easy production upgrade.
One of the hardest things to do is designing something simple, it seems obvious when you see it but starting an idea from nothing is very difficult. I would love to buy this if I was more into this hobby!
OMG if this is true this could revolutionize 3d printing. Pouring metal into molds vs putting the ready parts into a crucible is a huge ass difference. I can do this in my shed. Heck wich a electric furnace i can do it indoors. We can literally put one of these inot an office along with the furnace. This could mean real desktop metal 3d printing.
Cool! Do the parts shrink in size after firing? If so, how much percentage? That's been an issue in a lot of casting I've done and we have to prepare moulds with specific tolerances for the metal we use.
This is awesome! How consistent is the shrinkage on these parts and what's the purity post sintering? Also are there multiple materials in the works or just the copper?
We are trying to get enough people to post on his videos and have him reach out to us. We would 100% love to support his projects. If you read this, go tell him to reach out.
The MASTE Product is blowing my mind. Now if you can only achieve something similar with cast iron you will go down in history as LEGENDARY. [Cast Iron Gear Molding]
On a scale 1 to 10. 1 = plumbing copper pipe. 10 being regular 12 gauge electrical copper. Not asking for perfection so no pressure but how much impurity does the maste end result leave. After the furnace and cleaning? @@ActionBOX
Awesome. Been a subscriber for a while and just now became a member. Awesome setup. Starting a makerspace in my bfe town. I see an order for this in my near future. Awesome again
Thats awesome Steve, Welcome aboard 😃. We look forward to helping you with your launch and are more than happy to offer additional free MASTE and FUSION MIX to our community members.
Wow, who would have thought metal parts could be made so easily! Maste sounds really cool and like it will have so many applications! Where can you get more material?
Thanks Jonah, Glad you like it and always love seeing your comments consistantly on our videos. You can always get more material directly from actionbox.ca or from our UA-cam store.
Well looks like I'm going to start having to save for this entire kit. I am definitely buying and reviewing the shit out of this because there's so many metal pieces that I need to make for different mechanical purposes that it's only logical for me to purchase this.
We love the enthusiasm - let's make it happen! Contact us through our website and we'll help you out with a nice holiday discount 😄 actionbox.ca/pages/contact-us
Yes, it eliminates the need for the big vacuum furnace when using MASTE. it serves several functions that help the MASTE come together into a single pure metal piece.
very interesting, so once complete after the furnace is the part basically copper? Also would like to know if it is a good conductor ie resistance per inch with a given circular mill area. Anyone do any measurements as such?
@@ActionBOX thanks for the quick response. Also wondering if it is printed as thin strips that would be used in electrical switch contacts similar to what is used in pinball machines where a thin 1/4 inch wide by say .100 thousands thick and 3 inch long piece, printed and oven cured would have the ability to be used as a spring loaded contact ?
Wow! Very interesting tool! Another thing people can use for pickling or cleaning the oxides from the metal is sodium bisulfate pool acid. It works just the same as jeweler's pickling acid for a lot less money.
I think this is a great product and the furnace can be used for other things too like ther ceramic sla resin from formlabs. So its a great buy for all sorts of DIYers. I can't wait for you to get other maste materials, I wonder if stainless 316 will be possible or not. Also normally in metal injection molding, debinding and sintering heat treatments are seperate steps, you seem to be doing it at once, is that what the fusion mix is for? To do it at once or is there other purpose? I like it specifically because I feel like your shrinkage of 6 percent would be more without it, although I wonder if surface quality is a sacrifice because of it. And I feel shrinkage wouldnt be same in all directions if it wasnt for the fusion mix, so it'd be harder to optimize. Great work guys! Speechless, one day you will make DIY friendly machines of every expensive industrial manufacturing process, a win for small businesses and the small guys like us trying to build things.
Love this comment, thank you. We have already finished some new materials and will make those public on our website soon. Yes indeed this is a 1 step process for sintering and debinding which is the magic of Fusion Mix. Thanks again for your comment 😃
Hi, that’s awesome, we offer educational discounts and have already sold to some schools. Yea we will offer silver maste soon as well as bronze. Feel free to reach out to us for the educational pricing. Cheers, Mike
Hi, Yes the part shrinks about 6% which needs to be accounted for in the design. We just 3D print our molds 6% larger (before pouring the silicone into them)
@@NickSpirov Hmmm, interesting question. We have successfully made a bolt and a nut that threads on it (in a video that will come in the future) but I would need to know exactly what you have in mind to comment further.
Can we see more 😊. Great invention, great tool. The negative forms are made from some kind of heat resisten silikone, or ? What temp in C they need to stand ? Asking , bekause of the idea making negatives with a 3d printer.
The density of the material can be increased by leaving it in the furnace a little longer (say 3 hours instead of 2), but it will still only cap out at around 93% if I had to guess.
yes, MASTE flows very easily and gets into cavities without much pressure. You can see the threads on the part we made in the blue mold in the video. The shrinkage is about 6%. Hope that helps.
Very interesting, how stable is the dimensional accuracy of the Maste pre/post firing? Also, how hot does it need to be to liquify for the molding process?

I love it but what metal is it... Copper, brass. Is there multiple metal mixtures available?
This is simply AMAZING!
Thank you Billy, I appreciate that 😊
Will there be more than just copper available as a metal?
Yes indeed! We are currently working on that. We have successfully made silver parts and are currently working on iron/steel. A future video will also demonstrate our testing with Titanium.
Do you know the density of the parts once cleaned?
@@ActionBOX How about aluminium ?
@@werewolf00000 No Aluminum will not be an option unfortunately.
@@trkoo It is upwards of 93% the density of pure molten copper.
I like this, the workflow, the consumables, I like this.
This is so underrated to the homegamer and diy garage guys
Price is reasonable for all the things included tbh
How does it hold up in strength to other metals?
I'm impressed, Self sintered parts is a pretty groundbreaking development for Diy metal work, is copper the only material you're planning to release?
We are working on several other metals already including Silver, Bronze, and Iron based metals.

haha clever!
Id be curious on the shrink rate of the sintering process. Its trival to scale up though to make it work, just never even heard of it before this.
This is absolutely amazing!
1:56 happy halloween 🎃🎃🎃 + Congratulations on launching an amazing new product!
Thanks so much!!
Good day! Is there any chance there will be a public DIY version of Injekto?
1:55 OH NAH that metal be evil, it even smirked back at you 😂

How much do the part dimensions change after sintering?
I love it. Great work !

Holy!
That's awesome!
This would streamline my business tenfold. SAVED for when I finally get my capital 🙏
Sweet, reach out at actionbox.ca and we can help you out.
Could you make an explainer video of what is actually happening when the part is heated in the furnace ... How is it turning into metal
@integza needs this for rocket nozzles

Is it possible to make Maste with brass?
We have bronze coming out soon.
Is MASTE available in the market or is it a proprietory solution?
MASTE is only available on our website at actionbox.ca/products/maste
Do the parts shrink during the baking process?
Of course. It's either that or a worse outcome, filled with holes
What is the shinkage percentage and is it repeatable and predictable? IOW, can near-net dimensioned parts be made this way?
Could you guys do a cross section cut? To show porosity
Yes we can do that in our next video.

Has the fusion compound eliminated the need for vacuum sintering? What is the principle on which works?
Yes, it eliminates the need for the big vacuum furnace when using MASTE. it serves several functions that help the MASTE come together into a single pure metal piece.
You should make a filament of the maste - that would be pretty sick
Are there plans or options for other metals than copper?
Yessir. There are several metals in the works.
will you make maste for high grade industrial metals like steel , titanium or even tungsten ?
Already working on it 😉
Hello from Iceland🖐🇮🇸. Brilliant mind, hope you move forward and upwards 👍
Hello my friend, Thank you very much for your support.
Can you precisely predict the size of the finished objects after they go through the kiln?
Yes, they shrink by 6%. We just scale our molds up by 6%.
very interesting, so once complete after the furnace is the part basically copper? Also would like to know if it is a good conductor ie resistance per inch with a given circular mill area. Anyone do any measurements as such?
yes it comes out as pure copper. The electrical properties will be similar to those of pure copper as well.
@@ActionBOX thanks for the quick response.

Did you think about making copper molds for plastic injection molding?
very interesting idea. no I have not.
this is really cool! My parts are only 17g of filament, so a mini (or even micro) injection kit is very welcomed!
I love this. Whats the strength vs normal cast parts? You should do a comparison video with cast steel rings
Is the metal 3d printer in this video lpbf?
What is the maximum amount of maste it will generate for a single project? Could you feed it continuously?
INJEKTO M can extrude 230 grams of this material in one shot. I’m not sure what you mean by feeding it continuously. Can you elaborate?
Wow , its amazing!
Glad you liked it!
can I just hit the casting with a propane/air blowtorch to finish it?
No unfortunately that wont work. It has to be put into the furnace with the FUSION MIX
Is maste stronger the carbon fiber glass filled nylon? For the 3d printed maste do you need a hardened steel nozzle?
What about shrinking ratio
Wow i saw this the First time. Can this be done in silver ore gold ? 😲🤔👍🏼
Yes, we are already working on silver MASTE. It will require all of the same equipment we provide.

Interesting idea. I think I saw something similar with 3D printing, but I cannot remember if it was SLA or FDM.
How porous is the material?
Is it as dense as molten metal cast parts?
I would love to see a demo with some functional parts
The density of the material can be increased by leaving it in the furnace a little longer (say 3 hours instead of 2), but it will still only cap out at around 93% if I had to guess.

yes, MASTE flows very easily and gets into cavities without much pressure. You can see the threads on the part we made in the blue mold in the video. The shrinkage is about 6%. Hope that helps.
