The Hyrel 3D Printer: A Big Nerd Ranch Tech Talk

Daniel Hutchison used a Kickstarter to build a rugged 3D printer that seeks to overcome the common problems with 3D printing.

The talk goes over traditional manufacturing processes and how 3D printing is changing it.

8. Prototype • Reduces or Eliminates Tooling & Setup • On-site manufacturing and processing (Time Reduction) • Economical Material Costs Review & Test • Multiple Prototypes available sooner • Reduced Waiting Time for Review • Printed Parts can be functional Refine • Identify Physical Prototype Imperfections before Production • Identify Assembly Imperfections before Production Produce • Faster than Injection Molding for Smaller Production Runs • More Cost Effective at Smaller Production Runs
9. Subtractive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing + Very Mature, T&T + Great Precision + Low Maintenance - Costly (Time & Labor) - Lots of Scrap Produced + Cheaper, Faster Turn + Reduced Scrap - Not Yet Mature - Decent Precision - Maintenance Intensive

17. » Support Material Removal (All, SLS, SL, & FDM / FFF) » SLS – Hardening Processing » SL – UV Resin Curing » FDM/FFF – Acetone Smoothing
19. » Mean Time Between Assists / Failures (MTBA/MTBF) » Motion Controls » Solid Chassis » Kit vs Preassembled » Printing Resolution? What’s the real deal? » Support or no Support Material? » Build Area Size » Materials to print in / with » Electronics » Ease of Use » Enclosures – Yes or No? » Integrated PC & Webcam?
23. Expandable to use more heads consecutively or concurrently Multiple Materials available
24. Subtractive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing + Very Mature, T&T + Great Precision + Low Maintenance - Costly (Time & Labor) - Lots of Scrap Produced + Cheaper, Faster Turn + Reduced Scrap - Not Yet Mature - Decent Precision - Maintenance Intensive HYREL’s Printers are designed to be: 1.) Based off CNC Tech, Mature T&T 2.) Excellent Positioning Resolution 3.) Low Maintenance
