00:00Of all the inventions out there, few are as innovative as the 3D printer.
00:05After all, it's able to bring even the wildest of ideas to life, and some of the pieces that have come out of them have
00:11been absolutely incredible.
00:13Here are the top 15 most amazing 3D printed creations.
00:18Number 15, miniature figures. While you've probably seen a lot of gimmicky miniature figures made by a 3D printer,
00:26none come even close to the ones made by artist Johnny Hurwitz.
00:30That's because with the help of 3D photosynthetic materials, he has made some of the world's smallest sculptures.
00:35Now, when magnified, these sculptures look pretty impressive, as they have all the features you'd expect from full-size statues.
00:42However, the truth is that they're so small that they can fit on the forehead of an ant.
00:47And while Hurwitz admits that these sculptures often go missing due to their small size,
00:51the fact that we can now make sculptures that only can be seen by using a magnifying glass is truly incredible.
00:58Number 14, a cast.
01:01Most casts are rather bland, yet in 2014, designer Denis Karzahin shook things up by creating a cast that is not only 3D printed,
01:09but is also super high-tech.
01:11Known as the osteoid, this rendition sports several ventilation holes.
01:16These holes provide access for a low-intensity pulsed ultrasound system, and this allows fractured bones to heal up to 38%
01:22faster than would in a conventional cast.
01:25Now, this is possible because 3D printing allows for the cast to be custom-made to the wearer, and as a result, the ventilation does
01:31not have to be sacrificed for structural integrity.
01:33When you consider that the osteoid is also a lot more stylish, does not itch, and does not smell,
01:38it becomes clear that this 3D creation is far better than the old-fashioned original.
01:45Number 13, violin.
01:47While violins are typically made using materials such as wood or metal, the 3D Varius takes things up a notch.
01:55Designed in 2012 by Lawrence Bernadac, it co-ops the design of the world-famous line of Stradivarius violins into a plastic 3D printed rendition.
02:04Yet beyond the materials and design, what makes the 3D Varius top of the line is the fact that it's printed as a single piece.
02:12According to the 3D Varius website, this feature allows for smooth, optimal sound wave flow through the instrument,
02:19offering the violinist greater sound control. Thus, if you want an amazing instrument
02:23that's both beautiful and functional, look no further than the 3D Varius.
02:29Number 12, paper airplane gun.
02:32At some point or another, nearly everyone has tried to make a paper airplane. At best,
02:37it likely took you a while to make one that could fly just a few meters.
02:40Yet as far as paper airplanes go, no one has come close to Dieter Michael Krohn.
02:45That's because in 2017, he took an old design from 2014 and created a new gun that could fold and shoot as many as
02:53120 planes per minute.
02:55Now, it should be noted that the gun uses both 3D printed and non-3D printed parts,
03:00yet the fact that it's so functional and efficient shows just how much 3D printing can help in terms of optimizing products.
03:07So, if you're looking for a toy that can't be beat, check out Dieter Krohn's YouTube channel,
03:11Papierflieger, to see this amazing contraption in action.
03:16Number 11, backpack.
03:19If you want to walk around campus in style, then wearing a 3D printed backpack may be the way to go.
03:25Designed by 3D printer company Makex, the backpack is actually designed to carry a Makex Migo 3D printer.
03:31Being fully see-through so that the printer is visible at all times,
03:35it allows you to easily 3D print on the go, and both the futuristic design of the backpack and the printer make the entire
03:41ensemble double as a fashion accessory.
03:44However,
03:44even if you don't want to hold a 3D printer in the backpack Makex created, the backpack can still be used to hold more
03:50run-of-the-mill items.
03:51Yet, while the entire package of both the printer and the backpack sold for just $289 back in 2018, the printer itself now costs a
03:59whopping $599, while the backpack is no longer for sale.
04:05Number 10, Lamborghini Aventador.
04:07Let's face it, Lamborghinis are
04:09expensive, and while most don't have the hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to purchase one, a father and son duo managed to get
04:16around this by making their own with a 3D printer.
04:19Now, the father behind this operation is a physicist by the name of Sterling Backus, and he decided to undertake this project to show
04:26his son just what 3D printing technology is capable of. In order to do so, he used an array of 3D printers and about
04:33220 spools of thermoplastic filaments, and opted to use PLA for the body panels,
04:38ASA and ABS for the rear light housings and headlights, and carbon fiber filled nylon for the parts that required extra durability.
04:45Now, to be fair, the father and son duo were forced to use a few more traditional manufacturing processes such as CNC machining,
04:52water jet cutting, vacuum infusion, and carbon fiber encapsulation in order to ensure the car was road-ready.
04:58However, when you consider that all of this extra work meant that the car only cost
05:02$20,000 to make, we'd say that the project was clearly a success.
05:07Number 9. Boats.
05:10While the US military generally makes its ships using innovative technology, in October of 2019,
05:16they went above and beyond when they completed one that was made entirely with the help of a 3D printer.
05:21Made in partnership between the Combat Capabilities Development Command, the University of Maine, and Ingersoll Machine Tools.
05:27The first step of the process was to make a printer that was large enough to create a military boat.
05:32The final product of these efforts was a machine that could build something that was 30 by 6.7 by 3 meters at a speed of
05:40227 kilograms per hour.
05:42This printer then used both plastic and wood cellulose to construct the boat, and once completed, it measured in at 7.6 meters in length,
05:50and almost 2 tons.
05:51To top this off, it even broke several world records, as it was the largest 3D printed solid part,
05:57the largest 3D printed boat, and was made using what was at the time the world's largest 3D printer.
06:03Therefore, we think it's fair to say that this boat is nothing if not incredible.

06:18Number 8. Human organs. Put simply, the world demand for human organs does not match the supply.
06:25After all, there's a thriving black market for these organs, and as such, the creation of affordable synthetic alternatives has become a massive industry.
06:34Yet, while conventional methods of making new limbs have been on the expensive side, 3D printing may be able to disrupt the market.
06:41That's because beyond being rather inexpensive, 3D printers have the ability to make much higher quality organs.
06:47You see, one of the major problems with organ donations is that a receiver's body will often reject the organ.
06:52Therefore, since 3D printed organs can be built from cells that a patient's immune system could recognize as its own,
06:58the chance of immune rejection is very low.
07:01This has led to a lot of progress being made in this department, as 3D printed bones, corneas, and ears are reportedly in clinical testing stages.
07:10However, 3D printers may still need to improve to make these truly viable, as so far they're not intricate enough to fully imitate the real deal.
07:18Regardless, we wouldn't be surprised if this industry is overtaken by 3D renditions in the near future.
07:27Number seven, face masks.
07:29While these face masks will do nothing to combat coronavirus, the luxury masks made by Japanese designer Suhei Okawara are nothing if not creepy.
07:37That's because for about a price of about $950, users can buy a hyper-realistic face mask that makes them look exactly like a random stranger.
07:46Now, Okawara's business model works by first screening the headshots of applicants, and then paying them $350 for the right to use their face.
07:54Once he has this permission, the faces are then 3D scanned to create a high-resolution virtual model.
07:59From there, the full-color 3D scan is manually touched up to prepare it for the 3D printing process,
08:04and at this point, it's printed out onto a base template.
08:07As of now, this high-tech process allows Okawara to produce around a hundred face masks every month,
08:12and he claims that he's even been approached by celebrities who want to have their faces reproduced.
08:18Regardless, we're just curious to see whether or not this business will last long-term.
08:26Number six, office building.
08:28While most office buildings are made out of steel and concrete, few make use of a 3D printer in order to put them together.
08:34Yet, that's exactly what happened in January of 2015 at the Shuzhou Industrial Park in East China's Jiangsu Province.
08:41Coming in at approximately 1,100 square meters in size, this building was constructed with the help of a massive 3D printer.
08:48The printer was able to fabricate the walls and other components of the structure piece by piece by using a specially formulated and patented ink.
08:57This ink was essentially a medley of old construction wastes such as concrete, fiberglass, sand, and a special hardening agent.
09:04This not only put the waste to good use, but was found to be incredibly flexible, self-insulating, and resistant to strong earthquakes.
09:11Now, the walls that the ink helped form were made off-site using a strong diagonal reinforced print pattern.
09:17And once completed, these separate pieces were all put together.
09:20And while a few extra pieces such as steel beams, insulations, pipelines, windows, and doors were made without the use of the printer,
09:27we're sure that in due time, these components could be entirely 3D printed as well.
09:32Number five, clothing.
09:35Generally speaking, most clothing stores stock clothes made of run-of-the-mill materials such as cotton, polyester, and wool.
09:42However, as fashion continues to evolve, we may begin to see clothes made with the help of 3D printers.
09:48Now, there are many reasons why clothing designers are starting to make this shift.
09:52One of the major ones is that the clothing causes almost no waste.
09:56As rather than have to be cut from a larger piece of textile, a 3D printer can instead just use the exact amount of material necessary.
10:03However, beyond the environmental benefits, 3D clothes are often very easy to customize in terms of size,
10:09as just one has to put their measurements into a computer in order for it to pump out the perfect-sized garment.
10:15While regular clothes are what most 3D clothing manufacturers have in mind,
10:19there are some more special renditions that are also being designed.
10:23One of our favorites is a 3D dress made by designer Travis Fitch.
10:27That's because with the help of 30 multicolored pieces,
10:30he essentially constructed a dress that has several layers.
10:33On the other hand, there are some 3D dresses that make the most of the plastic in the printer to make solid pointy spikes,
10:39as seen in this 400-piece dress made by Selective Laser Sintering.
10:43Beyond the dress market, there are even some manufacturers in the business of making menswear.
10:48Of all the brands out there, VipTie3D is one of our favorites,
10:51as it uses the help of 3D printing software to make each of its ties fully customizable.
10:56Yet, regardless of the specifics behind each garment that's made,
11:00what is clear is that 3D printing may very well be the technique of the future.
11:09While Beyond Meat may be the biggest player in the artificial meat game,
11:13an Israeli company by the name of Redefine Meat is currently trying to raise funding
11:18for a meat-making process that's even more innovative.
11:21That's because rather than simply use a special formula,
11:24Redefine Meat is making use of a 3D printer to create steaks that look and taste identical to the real thing.
11:30As you might imagine, creating the ink for a printed steak is quite difficult,
11:35yet engineers have managed to do it by using plant-based materials.
11:39These materials make use of nutrients that are similar to those eaten by cows,
11:43while also utilizing a set of other proteins from grains and legumes to mimic muscle texture,
11:48fats, and other acids that are present in red meat.
11:51This allows them to duplicate the juicy flavor, blood structure, and color of a steak,
11:56and as of February 17th of 2021, they've raised about $29 million to bring these steaks to the mass market.
12:03By all accounts, it seems that the return on this investment will be quite large.
12:08That's because in January of 2021, Redefine Meat announced a strategic agreement
12:12with Israeli meat distributor BestMeister to distribute its products to restaurants and butchers across the country.
12:18As of now, studies have demonstrated that the steaks have a 90% acceptance rate amongst meat eaters,
12:24and if they do well in Israel, the company plans to export the steaks to European, Asian, and North American markets in late 2021.
12:31So, when you consider that the global meat substitute industry is expected to reach $8.1 billion by 2026,
12:38it becomes clear that this company may start making some serious revenue within the next few years.
12:47While 3D printers are generally used to make small to medium-sized objects,
12:52a company by the name of SQ4D has kicked things up a notch by making a home with the help of a 3D printer.
12:58As of now, they have just made one demo, yet the results of this demo have been impressive.
13:03That's because the printing time for the walls took about 48 hours,
13:06and the construction of the entirety of the house took just 8 days.
13:10For reference, this is significantly faster and around 30% cheaper than the time it takes to build a house using traditional methods,
13:17as there's no need to have as many laborers on site.
13:20Now, SQ4D pulled this off thanks to them making use of what is essentially a massive 3D printer.
13:25This printer works by using concrete instead of plastic to fill in molds one scan at a time,
13:31doing so at a speed much faster than that of a human.
13:34As a result, the houses made using this method can be constructed far more efficiently, and this is obvious in the price.
13:40SQ4D is now planning on bringing these houses to market on a per-order basis,
13:45and they're currently setting up to build a 130-square-meter home with a detached garage in the town of Riverhead, Long Island.
13:51What makes the listing incredible is that its price is just $299,000,
13:56putting it at about half of the average price of a similar home in the area.
14:00Now, as you might expect, many traditional tradesmen are put off by the idea of 3D printing a house,
14:06as it both seems impossible and threatens their way of life.
14:09However, this form of house building has seen a lot of positive support from younger generations,
14:13and this is not only because this way of building is superior, but because it's also very environmentally friendly.
14:19Since the building process of a 3D-printed house is very regimented,
14:23it's easy to design it so that it makes almost no waste and uses environmentally friendly materials.
14:28Therefore, as affordable and green housing continues to become more desirable,
14:333D-printed houses will likely become increasingly popular.
14:37Number 2. Firearms.
14:40There are many parts of the world where getting a gun is extremely expensive,
14:45and so in recent years, many have turned to the illegal practice of printing out a 3D gun in order to get their firearm fix.
14:52These guns don't come from a centralized source, but are part of a larger anarchist movement against gun control laws.
14:59One of the most important of these groups is deterrence dispensed,
15:02using catchphrases such as anyone can make it, live free or die, and go ahead, try to stop this, you filthy sadists.
15:09In order to draw people in, their central argument is that no state should be able to impose their will on you,
15:15and that everyone should have a gun in order to protect themselves.
15:19Now, deterrence dispensed makes this easy by uploading free downloads of 3D-printed gun instructions online,
15:25and these include everything from handguns to full-out assault rifles.
15:29The designs are purposely made so that the majority of parts can be made with 3D printer,
15:34and many only require about 15% of their parts to be sourced elsewhere.
15:39In order for them not to be removed, these designs are hosted on speed.ch,
15:43which is a media hosting site underpinned by the Libri blockchain.
15:46Unsurprisingly, due to the availability of these blueprints,
15:49many government officials are worried that this war could undermine years of gun control laws
15:54by allowing even the most unstable people in society to get their hands on a gun.
15:59What makes this organization interesting is that it has no headquarters and no public leader,
16:04and instead operates via several independent members that pump out content onto the internet.
16:09It's nearly impossible to regulate, and the initiative has been steadily growing in numbers.
16:14Thus, it's likely it won't be long until a 3D gun shared by the people on this site leads to some deadly incidents.
16:21Number 1. Shoes.
16:24Shoe companies are always trying to one-up each other,
16:27and 3D printing technology has been a powerful tool in doing so.
16:31That's because, be it for just a small part of a shoe or the entire thing,
16:35companies have begun to make use of 3D printers to make some five-star footwear.
16:40Now, the majority of companies will manufacture most of the shoes in a traditional way,
16:44but use 3D printers to make certain parts.
16:46As an example of this came in 2018 when Adidas crafted 100,000 pairs of 3D-printed shoes.
16:53Known as the Futurecraft 4Ds,
16:55these employed the help of a 3D printing company, Carbon's CLIP process of manufacturing.
17:00These essentially allowed for the creation of a lattice shoe sole that increased performance,
17:05improved the shoe's flexibility, and allowed it to be completely customized at an inexpensive price.
17:10There are some companies that have gone the extra mile by using a 3D printer for their entire manufacturing process.
17:16One such example of this is Prevolve.
17:19This company creates barefoot, minimalist shoes that are in the shape of a human foot.
17:23And thus, after scanning your foot, they can make a custom-fit 3D model.
17:27They then use biofusion technology to create the shoe,
17:30and can even change the sole thickness based on your preferences.
17:33Interestingly enough, there are some that even go a step further
17:36by making pairs of shoes that would be unimaginable with conventional materials.
17:41Such was the case with designer Iris van Herpen,
17:43who worked in collaboration with designer Rem D. Coulas
17:46to make an extra special pair of shoes for Paris' Fashion Week.
17:50Using a species of tree known as the banyan for inspiration,
17:53they used a PolyJet 3D printer to make a shoe that looked like the roots of a tree were around the wearer's foot.
17:59On our end, we think that whether you like these shoes or not,
18:02what they prove is that the possibilities with 3D printing truly are endless.
