why did they start with pencil and then go to ink and then scan and redo it in svg? why not just start with svg using modern tools? It isn't like they benefit from the pencil and ink: it is redone using digital scanning and tracing anyway. This workshop isn't spending extra time to achieve the highest level of precision and quality, they are just following the steps and hoping that tedium translates to perceived quality. I've got zero complaints about the machining though. That was bang on.
@@acmhfmggru I suspect that the ink drawing is part of the package given to the owner plus, hand drawing will likely introduce slight variations that carry through to the finished piece despite being digitized.
This is such a symbol of Japanese engineering. Over-engineering the design and manufacturing to the highest quality while the product is outdated, and not used any more by the rest of the world.
In the 1980s the rest of the world was fascinated by the trend in Japan to just 'find' expensive ways of consuming. This is a great example, of turning tradition into a massively expensive modern caricature of the original solution to a problem that no longer exists. So VERY Japanese. GREAT engineering, pointless exercise.
It's like the germans and their engineering of vehicals... They are wonderful vehiclaes but they are so over engineered that they break a lot and are a pain in the ARSE to fix when they do
Sure, most of the world doesn't use seals, but it's still very commonly used in asian countries, as these are often used to sign off on personal documents. While most are very standard stamps, some families might get a really fancy one made to have as a family heirloom, such as having them carved from jade. This video shows off a very nice fancy machined one. If it's a family heirloom, might as well go all out.
@@SilvaDreams Except this would be more in line with Japanese vehicles, highly engineered, attention to detail, and a reputation for long-lasting reliability
At ~$1100 these cost less than I expected. It saddens me to see that so many people don’t value craftsmanship like this anymore. Using perfectly made, purpose-built tools like these are extremely satisfying- and a joy to use every day. The folks at the MIRAIN factory and the ones developing these machines can be proud of themselves.
What time period are you imagining where people were more appreciative of computer aided electrical discharge machining? don't get me wrong these are super neat stamps, and they also make some really cool metal puzzles, but they are all essentially expensive toys with absurdly precise tolerances. I'm actually baffled that with their very expensive equipment, this is what they are using it for...like how does that business model work? Is this just a side business to keep these very expensive machines running at capacity when they aren't getting orders for precision machined components? It seems a little bit like sending your Michelin star chef to the McDonalds down the street to make fries on slow nights.
@@urchinsea6297 Thank you for your reply. This is a seal. In Japan, we still use seals instead of signatures on documents. Also, for official documents, we use seals registered with the government office and attach a seal certificate.
@@urchinsea6297 I understand. Thank you for letting me know. Japanese seals were introduced from ancient China 2,300 years ago. In Japan, seals have been used for authoritative purposes since ancient times. This continues in modern Japan, but in the future, signatures may become mainstream.
A hotplate that converts to a grill might be cool for a tiny apartment, seen this metal cutting tech for a long time but first time seeing it solve a problem: ease of cleaning! and ease of cleaning is generally ignored, with all sorts of tiny unreachable nooks and crannies in everything usually, so this is great
Didn't even realize I was sitting here for a whole 16 minutes all open mouth breathing because of how good this video was. I hate myself but this was amazing.
yea it is, although a lot of people think that perfectly-fitting pieces like these are actually cut from a single piece of material and that the cut line is just that thin when its reality its 2 pieces that are just very accurately cut and fit together perfectly.

The final print with paint, its absorption into the paper and spreading around the perimeter, negates the initial accuracy of the print. To reproduce a print, printing with a large error in size is sufficient.
@@firstmaster100 Did you even watch the first like, 15 seconds of the video? They literally test it on paper and the lines are so clean and precise that it even has the tiny bumps on the lines in the design. If that isn't extremely accurate then I don't know what is LOL
@@recilinceYou are taking my words out of context, distorting the essence. I did not say that the tool was poorly made, only that the liquid paint print can be faked using another tool that has significant deviations from the original high-precision one.
@@recilinceTo put it simply, it is not the instrument itself that is copied, it is the impression that is copied, but because of the method of application it does not require such an identical instrument. Demonstrating precision by turning a design into a smooth surface is more of a publicity stunt and has nothing to do with the uniqueness of the print. It's like comparing a laser and an inkjet printer. Do you understand the difference in the result and the reason for this?
The machining tolerance, precision, attention to detail, beauty & polish is likely the best I've ever seen- I have machining experience & I have made gauge blocks precise & mirrored enough, that if you pressed them together, one side would stick to the other just from how good the tolerances were, but to make something like this I believe it would carry a greater sense of pride with it. That said, if this is a CEO thing or something fine, but if it's something like an inspection or government seal, the cost seems overly prohibitive, especially for the taxpayers. It seams eccentric rather than practical, unless it happens to be near impossible to counterfeit.
more of a flex than useful item. Rubber stamp does the same just costs 10 instead of 1000. Of course if there is a market for "flex" its not wrong to provide it. I also don't understand people who spend thousands on wrist watches when you have time on smartphone

EDM cutting is crazy.
I think CNC Kitchen recently had a bit about the beginning stages of an at home EDM setup. Reminded me of very early at home 3d printers.
yea it is, although a lot of people think that perfectly-fitting pieces like these are actually cut from a single piece of material and that the cut line is just that thin when its reality its 2 pieces that are just very accurately cut and fit together perfectly.
