3D Printing a Titanium Part Created By Artificial Intelligence

Trevor walks us through the process of metal 3D Printing a Titanium part on the TruPrint 2000. The ONA AV35 was used cut this part off the build plate (which was also Titanium). This part is different from previous prints because this part not designed by a human, but instead an A.I.

I love how the part almost looks organic.
It now suddenly makes sense why so many sci-fi movies have alien ships that look more like an insect hive than a machine.

[madisonhasson]

That is not an AI designed part. It is a human designed part, optimized by a computer program written by an engineer.

[Lardzor]

Interesting that there is a visible crack on the part. Without the cutaway, you'd never know it was there. At 5:52 where it overlays the words "NO SUPPORT" on the screen, you can see the crack directly above the 'O' in SUPPORT.

[Hybris]

I am really excited to see what kind of engine blocks you could design this way. Lighter, with more optimized passages for oil and coolant and tighter tolerances for more efficiency.

[Wobblybob]

The way you mangled the metric system was pure poetry.

[Twisted]

The future's going to be very interesting with AI design, 3D printing and modern materials making it possible to manufacture perfectly optimized parts.

[danielcockerspaniel]

“Traditionally engineers wouldn’t take the time to optimize these because it would take forever…” Clearly needs to spend more time around engineers.

[SnackPack]

These CNC machines are a marvel of engineering. Engineering a machine that enables other engineers to produce fantastical parts to further progress engineering is so freaking cool

[C-M-E]

The open source aspect has me excited. Typically in the past, AI part design software was bordering on half the cost of the machine you'd be printing on, and the tech to run it.

[zforce]

Feels like I'm watching something out of Star Trek. Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

Thank you guys for making these videos. I am a Tool Designer at a Rocket Company, and the education I am getting here will only make me a better designer. This will make me think twice about the features I am asking you to machine (operations & programmers). Thank You

[unaffected_covid]

I would love to see the stats on the differences in performance between the regular version of that part versus the algorithmic designs. That way I can quantify the true significance of the variances in the software's abilities to optimize tolerances like that. Wow! Mind blown. 🤯

[linhan]

Definitely looks like a Hyperganic part! This elevates the role of engineers to the next level and you guys did such a fantastic job at printing and presenting it. Moving in the right direction! 🤯

That style of 3D printer is definitely the future of manufacturing. In the near future I suspect that that full part could be made in less than an hour with a much smoother finish. Being able to create anything an engineer can dream of is incredible, even a couple of years ago a part like that one would be impossible to make that small. Having to make it in many individual parts and needing the room to assemble everything wouldn't be possible on a smaller scale. Having A.I. design it just makes it even better.

[mattving]

I would love to see the part in action or to see some computer modelling of how it works.

[partylifedude]

combining algorithms and additive manufacturing to make parts like this is going to open up a world of possibilities. Even more so than it already has. I can't imagine how expensive this part would have been if it was made in a traditional way, and how long it would have taken.

[billdberger]

Laser sintering is probably my favorite additive manufacturing process, I look forward to affordable polymer sintering machines for the home shop.

[alexanderjamesINC]

Unreal. Literally next level stuff.

Loved the bloopers at the end of the video BTW.

[liotier]

The soundtrack going through a low-pass filter as the camera submerges is a cute touch !

[felixcat]

This is breathtakingly phenomenal engineering, limited by imagination only!
