DIY Metal Injection Molding (HACKSMITH Tries MASTE)

Our desktop metal injection molding machine was a hit with viewers, and when @hacksmith reached out, we couldn’t resist delivering it in person! We flew to their headquarters, H.E.R.C., to showcase the INJEKTO M and our innovative material, MASTE.

Together, we created custom metal molds using MASTE and used the INJEKTO 2.0 to inject plastic, crafting a replica of the HACKSMITH’s iconic lightsaber challenge coin. Now, they can easily recreate it anytime!

But this is just the beginning—we’re already planning our next epic collaboration on a DIY Metal 3D Printer. Stay tuned, because we’ve teased it right here on our channel.

Why is MASTE a Game-Changer?
MASTE is a revolutionary material. Once shaped—either by injecting it into a mold or sculpting it by hand—you simply cover it with our FUSION MIX powder and fire it in the included furnace. After a two-hour cycle, the part cools down to reveal a pure metal piece.

This combination of the Metal Injection Molder and MASTE is set to transform how we make DIY parts at home for our projects.

Secret business advantage making prototyping tools: Living near to the Hacksmith.

Yes, 3D metal printing from home would be AWESOME! Make it so #1...!

[thehudsonforge]

EVERYONE should be talking about this right now, such an incredible material, I hope it gets all the attention it deserves!

[jtwarner]

Never expected a collab between 2 of my favorite youtubers! That's so cool! Totally should work together!

[ryantaylor]

If you need HSI to make the metal 3D printer happen, absolutely collaborate. Otherwise, I think you guys can do it on your own. You do some awesome work. Can’t wait to see that!

[lapinchiloca]

hey guys, I think your copper melting kit would benefit from having a tiny "slump plate" at the bottom, so you can 'shake it' uniformly with a hand-operated mechanism. Just google "concrete slump flow test". We use it to stabilize concrete mixes as its poured into the moulds🙃

Please, PLEASE make a metal desktop 3D printer.

Is there a chance that aluminum maste could work too? Or is aluminum just too reactive?

[TheEngineeringDutchman]

oooo woow I was waiting voor this this is so cool

[floatindownsligo]

you guys are the best cant wait to buy soon!!!! loving the maste too! cheers and all the best and amazing engineering!

[evanlane]

Metal 3d printer would be awesome! Honestly, the sintering and burnout process needs to be made into a easy user experience more than the part creation side (in my mind).

[truthfromearth]

Yes, I want a desktop metal 3D printer.

[crassbusinessman]

This makes me so happy. Great products & great content will always yield great results.

[deucedeuce]

Is there any shrinkage at all? Can mechanical parts be made to spec or is it really just for cosmetic parts?

[richardepps]

Now that you've done a big time YouTube celeb collaboration, you just have to wait and let the subs roll on in!

[mrlithium]

This is so cool and innovative, we need more!

[rbouakaz]

Yes absolutely build us 3d metal printer!

[nathnolt]

So, they've 3d printed a mold of a mold of a mold so they could make a mold which would be able to make the metal mold so that hacksmith can use that mold to make plastic coins. Got it.

How to get precise sizes for sintered final products? Does it require further machining such as casting?
