I'm just waiting for this tech to start becoming more reasonably priced. It's tough to justify buying the complete system needed for printing, debinding, and sintering as someone without a corporate budget. I think this process has the potential to allow designers and entrepreneurs to expand their capabilities greatly.

I think it's already plenty useful, atleast for larger companies, as since they sell so much, paying 1 million per 3d printer for a 20 to 30 percent cost reduction is very viable and can be felt by consumers in the future. Although cheaper printers make it possible for small businesses to take advantage of this as well.

@sillygoose goose I have a 3D printer but casting is only an option for certain materials and provides a whole other set of challenges/problems. The probability of weak spots, air pockets, granular inconsistencies, and all the other pitfalls of casting (especially small scale and small batch) are radically increased compared to 3D printing. Plus, casting from a 3D mold doesn't allow designs to take advantage of the benefits of 3d printing such as the incorporation of flow paths that maximize efficiency that couldn't otherwise be machined without significant effort if it is even feasible.

Thank you for such good information on metal 3d printing, i have sent of to get a quote for my model, and I was not sure what is involved, and why the high cost's So again thank you for explaining and glad i came across your channel.

Hi Protolabs, I’m a recently separated U.S. Navy service member and landed a position with 3D Systems. I’d love a copy of 3D Printing Handbook!

A very simple method for 3d printing is investment casting. 3d printing I'm sad to say is a expensive gimmick because so far 3d printing isn't a replacement for conventional methods and really the important technology is 3d scanning

Investment casting is the easiest it has ever been. Mostly b/c there are sand 3 printers that will make molds or finished products at the foundry.

What's the advantage of 3d metal printing over investment casting process?

@ProtolabsMFG 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Newman, we would say metal 3D printing gives you more organic shapes and is faster than investment casting. Plus, fewer startup costs.

Hmm, you talk about it as if metal 3D printing is a seperate and single technique (which it is not, it is only a material) and compare it to SLS. Metal can be printen through SLS, DMLS or even FDM so saying it is different than SLS (it is SLS but another material) and it always needs support is wrong because there are many different techniques. Don't confuse a material with a technique.
