Researchers have demonstrated the first chip-based 3D printer, a tiny device that emits reconfigurable beams of visible light into a well of resin that rapidly cures into a solid shape.
Australian metal additive manufacturing company Titomic today announces the launch of the world’s 'largest' metal 3D metal printer at its state of the art facility in Melbourne, Australia.
Using powdered metal and high-powered lasers, this additive manufacturing machine can produce virtually any metal part within a one-meter cube area.
OLO, the company based in the US has come up with a 3D printer that can print 3D objects on the go, with a smartphone. They started their campaign on Kickstarter and they have already got $933,800 of the $80,000 for what they pledged.
Printing three dimensional objects with incredibly fine details is now possible using "two-photon lithography". With this technology, tiny structures on a nanometer scale can be fabricated. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) have now made a major breakthrough in speeding up this printing technique: The high-precision-3D-printer at TU Vienna is orders of magnitude faster than similar devices (see video). This opens up completely new areas of application, such as in medicine.
MIT is pushing the boundaries of the 3D printing technology (3DP) it helped pioneer nearly two decades ago. 3DP printers build 3D solid objects by
A very small and light 3-D printer prototype has been developed by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology. The prototype is designed for use
