Hi guys, I'm here at the Hey Gears booth
0:13
at Form Next 2025. You know this, you've
0:15
watched the other Form Next videos. So,
0:17
who are you? What do you do? So uh my
0:19
name is Tim and I'm the overseas China
0:21
sales manager uh in uh in Hegars and um
0:25
I'm mainly responsible for the North
0:27
American market and South American
0:29
market and uh with Higars we are mainly
0:31
focusing on providing the whole 3D print
0:33
solutions to the end customer. So which
0:36
means we are making 3D printing as a
0:38
tool to create stuff and not just a toy.
0:41
So this is um yeah some basic
0:44
I appreciate that. And I hear this a lot
0:46
when I'm talking to you guys is every
0:48
time I speak to Zoe and and my other
0:51
contacts at Heyge Gears and I have
0:54
concerns around the technology or the
0:56
product, she she is quick to remind me,
0:58
especially with the new range, that
1:00
there is more to resin printing than
1:02
just little miniatures like what I like
1:04
to print um and statues like that, which
1:07
in fairness, she has said this and she's
1:09
like, "Oh, Reflex 2 is is not really for
1:12
miniatures and models." And then with
1:13
your reflex too, you're showing a a
1:15
statue of a model, but but still. So, I
1:18
do appreciate that. And I think this is
1:20
kind of what I wanted to have a chat
1:21
with you about today is what the point
1:24
of the Reflex 2 is because like me and a
1:27
lot of other the YouTubers looked at the
1:29
Reflex 2. We we've got some concerns
1:31
about it in terms of how it's presented
1:34
versus your previous machines,
1:37
but I think the more important thing is
1:39
what is its point? Who is it for? And
1:42
I'm because my focus is miniatures and
1:45
models. I'm not so good at conveying to
1:48
my audience what this is for. So can you
1:51
tell me what this is made to make?
1:54
Mhm. So first one I think this one can
1:57
be this reflex 2 printer can be used in
2:00
lots of 3D printing service provider. So
2:02
they will create some engineering parts
2:05
first and second they can create some uh
2:07
you know high strength high and
2:10
transparent strength like this and also
2:12
yeah you can check this is very
2:15
uh some of our Chinese factory they
2:18
already got over 30 units of the reflex
2:22
and they create some stuff like this.
2:24
This will be very unique in the market
2:26
and they sell it to earn the margin. So
2:29
this is the first one and the second one
2:32
this can be used reflex 2 can be used in
2:34
some you know designers. So they they
2:37
can design by themsel and they can
2:39
design this kind of um stage very
2:41
beautiful and so they can use the P810
2:44
raisin printed transparent and then
2:47
spray it with our glow glaze to make it
2:49
transparent and painted with color.
2:52
Yeah. So this is very unique in
2:54
so this is something that isn't on the
2:56
market right now as we speak.
2:59
B-roll where obviously you've got
3:07
our model, but they forget to tell you
3:09
that it's been polished or clear coated
3:11
or whereas you're actually showing us
3:14
this is what it looks like when it's
3:15
printed. This is after the clear coat
3:17
and then you can add inks to color it
3:19
and various other things.
3:21
So that's really good. So what is it
3:23
your your And then sorry before I go on.
3:25
So, so the Reflex 2 is really there for
3:28
a more versatile machine rather than
3:32
what I do and I want to print little
3:33
miniatures and statues. So, some of the
3:36
other things we've looked at, in fact,
3:37
I'm just going to since we're on
3:40
this is incredible. So, yeah, this is
3:44
Tyrannosaurus. And my question was, how
3:47
have you printed one color inside and
3:49
transparent outside? But that's not what
3:52
Mhm. Yeah. So uh this is um this is
3:54
similar with this one. So this little
3:56
Pikachu, right? This little picture. So
3:58
this is um first we printed with a whole
4:01
stage with with a transparent resin and
4:04
then we spray it with a glow glaze like
4:06
I said and we leave a hole here. So as
4:08
you can see we leave a hole here and we
4:10
put we mixed the transparent resin dye
4:13
with the water together and we put it
4:15
and together in the container and we
4:17
inject in the little hole and make it
4:20
colorful inside. So there is a holo. We
4:23
So sorry. You've done the same with this
4:24
one where we've got uh we've left a hole
4:27
in injected a white dye of some kind and
4:30
then we it looks like the skeleton's
4:33
So okay, that that's better for statues.
4:35
But then even more interesting, and
4:37
you're not the only one. I've seen a lot
4:39
of companies do this now.
4:41
But you you're now 3D printing shoes. Is
4:44
this on one of your dental machines,
4:46
your special machines, or is this also
4:48
on on Reflex? This is um printed by our
4:51
7A which we call it PAE20. So this is
4:55
our this is a design resin elastimemer
4:58
which is printed by our reflex 2 pro. So
5:01
reflex 2 pro has um head of the 350 mm.
5:07
So which is um enough for uh for wearing
5:11
Yes. And um for 78 you know the hard the
5:15
the shness the shness of the uh we the
5:19
shness from 48 to 88. So
5:23
the 48 is the softest one and the 88 is
5:25
the hardest one and this is 78. So this
5:27
is a stay in the middle and uh yeah we
5:30
designed this kind of um structure and
5:33
make it very special and uh very soft
5:35
and very um comfortable to wear. So,
5:39
it's just like you're working in the
5:41
cloud and working in the air. Yes.
5:43
I was um genuinely I was wearing some of
5:45
the larger ones you had yesterday. Uh
5:47
and yeah, you're right. Like they are
5:48
really comfortable. I think it's an it's
5:51
definitely an expensive way to make a
5:53
shoe, but it's also a more customizable
5:56
way to make a shoe. People can design
5:58
their own. It's there's a lot of
6:00
versatility in that. I really do like
6:01
it. What I find it interesting here to
6:03
see though is like as much as when we
6:06
see you, we see your printers, but like
6:10
really you're not here selling your
6:12
printers because like the the the Hegars
6:15
RS that I use and and much of my
6:17
audience use is hidden back there in the
6:20
corner. This is more about your
6:22
solutions that you sell and and trying
6:25
to solve problems and things like that.
6:26
And that that is the bit that
6:29
HGS kind of came into the consumer
6:31
market. The consumer market myself,
6:33
we're very passionate. We we want open
6:36
source. We want all these things. This
6:38
has been a staple of 3D printing. But
6:40
you obviously come from the industrial
6:42
side of 3D printing moving into
6:44
consumer. So we're we're hitting
6:48
a bit of a wall like there, but people
6:50
are slowly starting to come around and
6:52
understand. So when it comes to products
6:54
like this, it isn't for the home
6:56
consumer really. Home consumers can use
6:59
it, but the versatility of the materials
7:02
and the ease of use of those versatile
7:04
materials comes through in the Reflex
7:06
platform and things like that, which is
7:08
really cool. Um, one thing I have to ask
7:10
cuz I always do and they'll kill me if I
7:14
Um, right. So Pear's RS really locked
7:20
I'm going to ask. Sorry, there was a
7:22
squeak. Hey, Gears and and you can
7:25
So, hey Gears RS is is locked down. One
7:27
of the most passion things people have
7:29
been really passionate about is would
7:31
you open up the slicer so we can have
7:34
access to the settings?
7:36
Is that something that I can ask you to
7:39
do please? So at least they know that
7:41
I've asked it. Do you have any comment?
7:48
feel free to take do as many takes of
7:50
it. So, so this is the bit where I'm
7:52
going to let him have a chance to be
7:54
creative with his response, but I know
7:57
things that that you may not be allowed
8:01
to know yet, but go on.
8:02
Yeah, but um for this one, so I think
8:05
this is a company strategy to be honest.
8:07
So for Higus uh uh why we do the uh
8:11
close source because we want to create
8:13
the you know the quality of the final
8:15
product. So we we can you know create
8:18
our own formula and we can create you
8:20
know um everything and we can combine
8:23
together to make it integrated system so
8:25
that we can control the final product
8:27
quality but for opening the system I
8:32
um like our dental product line so they
8:35
are opening some source but um it
8:38
depends on the quality of the of the
8:41
supplier of the region.
8:42
I think that's it. So, what what we're
8:44
used to in consumer printing is choosing
8:48
our own resins, changing a few settings,
8:51
and going from there so we can find a
8:52
material with our properties. So, I
8:54
think I'm going to leave it with
8:56
we would like to request
8:58
that you Heygears allow us access to
9:02
change our settings. And the only reason
9:04
I'm saying that is cuz I want them to
9:05
know that I am asking it. And if it does
9:10
it's it's not going to be because I
9:11
winge about it. it'll be because you
9:13
choose to. So if and big stuff, but in
9:16
the meantime, we can enjoy ease of use.
9:19
And I do. I regularly enjoy your ease of
9:22
use with the materials you have for my
9:25
application. If you've got what I would
9:29
probably a more technical application or
9:32
what's the word? A more practical
9:34
application than painting little toy
9:36
soldier men and and tall dollies, then
9:39
this is definitely a platform to to look
9:41
into. So, I appreciate it. Thank you so
9:44
much for your time and yeah, I look
9:46
forward to showing people more and I
9:48
look forward to seeing what you do next.
9:50
People on my channel keep asking me, can
9:52
I have a Reflex 2 Pro to review? Um, so
9:58
Brilliant. She's She's nodding. You can
10:00
see that cuz it's a 360 camera, so
10:02
that's fine. Thank you ever so much,
10:04
guys. I'll see you in the next video.
10:06
Until then, faux hammer out.
