Is it possible to make money on 3D printing? Taking off the rose-colored glasses in an interview with Oscar van Deventer / Habr

Many people are interested in the question: how to make money on 3D printing? If there are 3D printers, then there must be some way to make money from it by providing "services to the public" and not just printing prototypes.

One of the ideas: a service where anyone can upload their model, pay for printing and get the item. Also on the service there should be a choice of models with prices. One example is shapeways.com.

This is an interview with Oskar van Deventer, engineer and puzzle designer. He made the largest Rubik's Cube: 17×17×17, which is a Guinness World Record. He is also the author of hundreds of puzzles, some of which are mass-produced, and many are presented in the form of models and can be printed on demand. It was Oscar that seemed to me the most interesting author, because:

  • he loves the Rubik's cube,
  • he invents something new,
  • he earns from 3D printing.

About the Rubik's Cube and other puzzles

When did you get your first Rubik's Cube and how quickly did you master it?
− I bought my first Rubik's Cube in 1980 (Oscar was born in 1965). It took me 2 weeks to solve the puzzle. Now I could solve this problem within two minutes.

Your 17x17x17 cube is in the Guinness Book of Records. Did you assemble it yourself?
− Yes, I collected it.


Direct link to the video

Do you have a favorite puzzle that you came up with?
− Always next.

Can you share some secrets about how ideas are born? This is the hardest part: coming up with something new.
- There are no secrets, I just spend a lot of time and think. For me, the task is to make a new mechanism that can do something that was not there before. See, for example, the new puzzle "Irreversible Cube".

How long does it take from an idea into a model to a 3D printed sample?
− Shapeways manufactures within 10 working days.

What programs do you use for simulation?
− Various CAD programs.

How do you test your inventions? Let your friends or family play? Maybe organize focus groups?
- First I make a prototype. Then I show it on YouTube. Be sure to submit it to the puzzle forum, which is actually a social network of collectors of complex puzzles, designers and constructors. And I show the puzzle at meetings of representatives of this community.


Direct link to the video

Inventor's experience

Is working on puzzles the main job? Or do you work somewhere else?
− My main job is as a senior researcher in the field of online media.

I know about you as an inventor. How do you position yourself? Inventor? Entrepreneur?
“My entrepreneur card says “mechanical puzzle designer.” It's a hobby. Yes, I'm doing business to keep exploring new possibilities, to make puzzles to please the fans.

What is your education?
− I have a PhD in optical networks.

There are puzzles that are sold on the market and printed in industrial quantities. What are these puzzles?
- Yes, there are such puzzles. You can see here.


3D printing as a business

Are you satisfied with the sales of 3D models?
“Until now, selling models on Shapeways has beaten back the cost of prototypes. It's not bad anymore.

So sales aren't that great?
− Earnings provide a good additional income. But not enough to quit your regular job. Until I'm ready for it.

What sells best?
- I don't track accurately. The Hanayama metal series has been successfully sold for quite some time. Anti-Virus is doing well in Europe. And Gear Cubes are getting more and more popular.

What methods do you use to advertise? I know that you record videos for Youtube. What else?
− YouTube and puzzle fan forum. YouTube gives more viewers, but most of my buyers are on the forum.

Buyers can contact you directly. Were there any funny or weird questions from buyers?
− Sometimes, my customers don't understand the concept of 3D printing. The most interesting request was for a "Gift Cube".


Note: Another person suggested this idea to Oscar. An ordinary Rubik's cube, if solved, becomes a box. The top side of the red color forms a heart and is removed like a lid.

Collaboration with shapeways.com

The advent of 3D printers is creating new markets. Shapeways.com is an example of this new way of selling. How difficult was it to conclude an agreement with them?
− At the beginning of 2008, Virsavia Grossmann told me about Shapeways. I opened my store and uploaded the models. This is a very simple and convenient service.

Have you seen their 3D printers? How do you control print quality?
− Shapeways has excellent quality control. They monitor customer complaints and feedback, and continuously improve production and delivery. If occasionally problems happen, if something goes wrong (for example, a part is missing or incorrectly printed), then everything will be corrected for you immediately.

Do you choose the materials and printers that will print your puzzles? Or is it the Shapeways employees?
- I choose from what Shapeways offers. As a rule, I use the technology of selective laser sintering of nylon powder. Sometimes I use metal or something else.

3D printers

Do you have a 3D printer?
− No. I usually use Shaweways. I have a few friends with home 3D printers that I ask for help from time to time.

Thinking about getting your own printer?
- I'm thinking about buying Makerbot. But what stops me is the poor print quality compared to Shapeways printers and the lack of support.

Now many geeks dream of buying a 3D printer for fun. It's not necessary, but it's very desirable. Do you think 3D printers will become as commonplace as conventional printers in the future?
− No. Most homes don't have sewing machines. Most homes don't have photo printers. Why? Because it is much easier and cheaper to buy clothes and order photo printing in the laboratory.

Which 3D printers do you like? What struck?
− Shapeways has the best SLS printer available today: high quality at low prices.

What do you miss about modern 3D printers? What features would you like to add?
− Every 3D printing technology is a compromise between performance, power, precision and cost. I would like a 3D printer that is able to do mass production at low prices, even for a limited edition. The Dutch company TNO is currently working in this direction.

Follow-up questions

I did not wait for additional questions from habrausers and asked them myself.

You often communicate directly with puzzle lovers. Do they have any common features?
I communicate a lot on YouTube and by email. I think it can be divided into two types:
− older generation who like traditional puzzles,
- young people who like my Rubik's Cube puzzles.
Many of them show talents in mathematics.

Now a lot of sales go through appstores for iPhones or Androids. No desire to make games for smartphones or tablets?
I have made several smartphone applications for fun, just to learn the technology. But I'm more interested in mechanical puzzles. Please note that now the development of an application, marketing costs about the same as the development of a mechanical puzzle.

Suppose I have an idea for a game. Where do I begin? Test her? Get a license? Do marketing?
You need to start by creating a working prototype. And test it on friends and family.

Transparent cube and pyramid - children's puzzles on a 3D printer

Creativity

Subscribe to the author

Once in the Tula Quantorium there was a task to create several puzzles for children at various outdoor events. Those that we had were quite large in weight and size. So I jumped right into Fusion 360.

The first puzzle should be a glass cube , in which various geometric shapes must be placed. And sometimes, and especially for children, this is not so easy to do.

I chose the correct size of 100 mm for the internal (this is important) cube size. And I started modeling. I will not dwell in detail, because there are many lessons on how to make tetrahedra, and other figures are very simple. But if you have any questions, write in the comments.

1st figure - ordinary terahedron :

2nd figure - star of 2 terahedrons :

3rd figure - cube with cut corners :

The notches in the form of circles were specially added for gripping fingers.

All printed on Maker Point PLA with a layer of 0.2 mm on Ultimaker 2+ printers. They were printed for quite a long time because in one piece, and only one of the tops of the star was cut off just to remove the supports almost completely.

Then a plan of the cube was developed, or rather the corners of the holders, which later had to be further minimized.

Sketch:

Finished element of the corner:

Then the corners were printed, and instead of square glass, 5 mm thick plexiglass was used, cut on a laser machine. I took the dimensions of the glass 102 mm and made the right decision, because without the allowance, the parts would hardly have entered. We glue the whole project at the moment of the crystal.

Well, and my own photo after assembly (the cube itself was surprisingly easy and simple to assemble)

The second puzzle is a pyramid of balls . Or rather, not from balls, but from sticks with knots in the form of balls. She is also not as easy to assemble as it seems at first glance. We had an original made of wood, but not to scale, but it was possible to take measurements from it. Modeling in Fusion 360 again. For the pyramid you need all the details in the amount of 2 pieces.

Printed again in the same way as the first project and on the same printer. True, there was not enough plastic for the last part, so I had to change the coil on the go, but this did not even affect the quality.

The result is such an interesting puzzle.

All exhibits have already been successfully tested on children and not only.

As a result, I would like to say that 3D printing is a very good solution in terms of creating various puzzle projects and visual aids, because. From the moment of idea to the very embodiment in plastic, very little time passes.
