Today we get to check out the excellent work being done at one of Xometry's additive manufacturing centers! I hope you find it interesting and educational.
We look at some industrial-grade FDM, SLS, and Polyjet 3D Printers.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I'll try to set up a Q&A with Greg.

Pardon the audio quality, the printers were making a lot of noise. I asked them to turn off all the machines so I could get better audio but they said no. Fortus 900 Silent Fan mod next?

I didn't realize 3D printing was already so advanced. That printer at the end is a game changer.

They are super expensive machines. Between the initial cost, material cost, and service contracts, we are talking millions to keep these machines running. Which is why it only makes economic sense to buy these printers if you are going to be running them 24/7. In most cases, it end up being much cheaper to just pay someone else to do it.

👍 *Vapor Smoothing* would be a great topic. ✌

They have a special machine that automated a lot of the process. I can ask about taking a look at that.

@@NathanBuildsRobotsI think I'm familiar with the smoothing machine that hit the market a few years ago. But thanks, anyways! 😃

so this factory is owned by xometry? is that really a good idea to have production in-house? wasn't the idea to only be a sort of market-place, without production?

Does Xometry give plant tours?

Can it hold 210lbs person? Working on a new bicycle saddle, we need a prototype (we have an STEP file) for the invention and too expensive to do a mold for a prototype.

@NathanBuildsRobots 10 ай бұрын

Probably. Most materials can support human weight, just make it thick enough and you’re good

That is great news thank you so much, and was also told that Stratasy, Hubs, Protolabs, PA6+Carbon Fiber and SLS would also work, we really don't want to waste anyones time, which one you think will give us the best shot at doing a 3D prototype (the saddle is 2 piece step file, top and bottom) What we are looking for is a few 3D printed samples to prototype in a strong carbon fiber, or other isotropic material, that would allow say a 180-90 pound person to sit on it for extended periods of time for testing the product. It is a suspension system with peripheral Fran and rails 7mmx9mm in some areas. We tried to connect with your company and was told that we need a business email and we are still a new startup and want to use our money for the invention@@NathanBuildsRobots
