Video Description:

Join me as I tour IC3D’s shop and get an inside look at their impressive 3D printing and filament production operations. The tour starts with their industrial 3D printers, including a massive machine featuring a 48”x48”x48” build volume and a powerful pellet extruder, designed for large-scale manufacturing. Seeing these printers in action highlights the potential of additive manufacturing at an industrial level.

Next, I dive into their filament extrusion process, where IC3D produces up to 200 kilograms of filament per day. I got a close-up view of their two extrusion lines and even learned about the intricate electronics that keep their extruders running efficiently. This behind-the-scenes look provides insight into the level of precision and engineering required to produce high-quality 3D printing materials.

Finally, we explore how IC3D supports local industries by offering 3D printing as a service, including partnerships with automotive companies. Their expertise in additive manufacturing enables them to deliver custom parts and solutions at a scale that bridges the gap between rapid prototyping and full-scale production. Whether you’re a maker, engineer, or just curious about how things are made, this video has something for you!
