Hey, you may have seen a notification pop up earlier today about a new video - which was an accident! The video is supposed to go live on Monday, but I guess I can already share it with you all here ;-)

The printing process One Click Metal are using is super interesting and actually really straightforward, and with the core patent having recently expired it feels a lot like the start of RepRap with FDM/FFF 3D printing.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Finally cheap* Direct Metal 3D Printing - from One Click Metal!

Let's 3D print... with metals! There are a ton of options available now for producing 3D metal parts, but the most straightforward one involves laser-welding pulverized stainless steel directly into your final shape. No de-bindering, post-sintering or other steps necessary to get a fully functional part. And One Click Metal is working on making that technology a lot more affordable*!

Oh, and let me know how you liked the editing style! It's inspired by the Fully Charged channel, but obviously they're still doing it a lot better (and are actually filming with that result in mind).

This is so cool!!! I wonder if the price will drop enough that fablabs and maker spaces will be able to afford one of those - and I'm wondering if the price for their machine will drop even further when the other patents expire.

I liked it - but to be honest, I was so engrossed by the content that I didn't pay close attention to it

Very interesting. How much will it cost? I have been enjoying all of your videos.

The initial release will probably be around 100k (ready-to-use), with later iterations dropping to 50k. The 10k pricetag is most likely still a good while away ;-)

Most likely, as it cuts expenses for patent licenses and also opens up the market to new competition. Maybe even RepRap-style open source machines!

The real problem is the material is stupidly expensive. I had a 3D printer originally that claimed to be able to print in PEEK, which I thought was cool until I found out a 500g spool was $180. And meta powder makes that look cheap...
